Hi,
Does anybody know a good freight forwarder that I can use to post items from USA to Australia?

Thanks,

Hi there,
I use mbex. You can look at either of their two sites: ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** OR ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members**
They are very good and use either DHL or FedEx. Both these give a discount of about 30-35% on their rates to members of mbex.
regards,

The advantage is so international buyer can buy from companies that only ship to a US address. This way international buyer can get products only sold to US customers.

I had a look at ** Link Removed: Only Available to Registered Members** but it's not really what I'm looking for at the moment. I'm looking for a non commitment type freight forwarder which doesn't charge a setup fee or monthly fees. Anybody got any suggestions?
