Hi guys,
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to online shopping and basically only know of Ebay. With the strength of the dollar at the moment, it seems like the perfect time to be buying from the US but the few sites that I have found charge crazy rates for postage. Does anybody have any US sites with reasonable shipping prices for anything really? I just fancy a browse.
Thanks
A mail forwarding service could be the way to go…

A list of good reputable mail forwarding service would be a good addition to the wiki :) Thanks inherentchoice!
+1 on dealsextreme + bookdepository
dx takes a while to arrive. Have a look at the whirlpool forum (Deal extreme - part 13) for latest delivery times.
Book depository, many ozb's including scotty and myself have ordered from - i have found it takes around 5 business days to arrive.
If you're unsure, just google the name with the website whirlpool, usually they have a thread for everything. i.e. "whirlpool book depository"
Amazon is ok, the only issue is alot of their stuff doesnt ship overseas - particularly frustrating when you only find out as you order. grrrrrr
threadless.com is a good us site (has many ozb deals)
Not a US store but I have been buying a lot from zavvi.com lately, great dvd prices.
DealExtreme as Davo said, great site just takes a while to arrive. If you have an iPod or iPhone it will become your favourite store :P
I buy from coastalscents.com…….postage is ok and they have some nice things. If there are things you want, but they don't ship to Oz, go to sites like 'internationalcheckout.com', and they will/should be able to, get the item sent to you! But they charge a fortune for it. Another awesome site that l have always wanted to buy from, but they never shipped to Oz til recently, is shoes.com. Such nice shoes! For the most gorgeous luggage, go to steamlineluggage.com. Not sure if they ship to Oz, but will surely find out if/when l order the beauty case that l have been waiting to come back into stock! Have fun!
