Has anyone used an online service to ship goods from US retailers?

I want to buy some things from Target but they don't ship to the UK. I've found various websites that give you a US shipping address then forward it on..can anyone recommend one please?

Not me, but I know expats who have successfully used myus and borderfree.com.

One more big one I cant think of right now. Will contact a friend, and post in the morning (she will be asleep now!)

If you do this, don't forget to calculate in VAT/duty - it kicks in at a stupidly low price, is calculated on postage too, once it's triggered and there's usually a flat fee to cover the cost of collecting it as well Angry

I've used Borderlinx quite a few times and been very happy with them.

Shopandship is the other big one I've known people use very successfully, but I've only known stuff coming out of the UK, not into, iyswim?

I use MyMallBox. Only ever for small stuff but I’ve found it pretty good. Also you self declare the customs value.
