Hi,
I'm buying a couple of things from the US and am trying to find a good freight forwarder...who have you used and have they been any good? Thanks in advance! |

I use ComGateway and have found them very reliable. There is a good postage calculator on their site too, which I find a lot of them don't have.
Be warned though, it's pretty expensive for shipping. They tend to use couriers like DHL and FedEx which are not cheap. Just for instance, we were looking at shipping a stereo and the postage would have been $440 USD. Even small things start at around $50 USD. I would buy several things and ship them all together to get reasonable value. However, I have pretty much given up now the exchange rates are not as good. |

| Thanks I'll look into them, you're right about the exchange rate though some things are still amazing like bike parts and some cosmetics brands. Stoked to see so many big chains are starting to offer shipping over here! |
