Does anyone use a US shipping address and how does it work?

[VanillaPip]

I really want some bits and pieces from the States. Not available to buy here in the UK and they don't ship here

Does anyone have one of these addresses and what company do you use? How much is it - are there hidden charges?

Anyone?

I use a friend who either reposts the stuff or holds onto it till we see each other. She has been holding stuff for me since before Covid!

I use myus.com - it's really simple and they give you your own 'suite' number with and address and also a phone number to associate with orders.

It's about £6 a month subscription to them to keep it open.

They email when you receive an order into your 'suite' they open and check the order isn't damaged and then send you shipping options.

You just pick and then pay them to ship it to you. They do all the customs declaration etc. It's not the cheapest but still cheaper than the products in the UK anyway.

Think they have a walk through on their website you can watch.
