Buying from usa through mail-forwarders

[ohmshalone]

Anyone else tried this? www.myus.com, www.usa2me.com & www.usabox.com give you your own usa address so you can shop through any US site & have it sent to you. They also have this thing called "personal shopper" in case your credit card doesn't work. They then buy it for you + about 10% extra. This isn't a new thing so maybe you guys could inform me of any of your personal experiences. Thanks

Surely you would still have to pay tax when it comes into the country?

In most cases it does not work out cheaper...after you add shipping, tax, and the "admin fee" the courier leeches charge. I buy my imported dvd'd through take2 these days and 9 times out of ten it is cheaper than buying directly from places like amazon...
