Parcel forwarding service from USA to Australia?

Hi, I'm looking for a parcel forwarding service from USA to Australia, what reliable forwarding company do you use?

I want to buy from a US company, but they just prefer UPS which is ridiculously expensive for an item the size of a printer cartridges.

Thanks heaps for the help.

    I use HopShopGo. theres plenty of bad forums in regards to the service, but usually their arguments are based around the fact that they haven't read the rules. Theres a flat rate of $28.50 for your order + first 500g, then its $4.50-$4.80 for ever 500g thereafter. The packages are measured in both weight and volumetric weight.

    my last order, I bought a denim vest from Levi's, a present for my gf, a present for my sister both from nordstrom and 3 caps from Lids. total was about $350-$450 worth of merch. delivery was almost $100 due to period rates. The box for the Caps were the biggest hit, though i would always pay extra to get my caps sent safely.

    I've used shipito many times. No issues so far. The only con for me was that apple have their address in the "freight forwarders" list and won't ship some of popular items.

      +1 for shipito, I've used them with nil issues (all Amazon purchases)

        +1 for shipito too
        I went to use Shipito but didn't go through with my purchase at the last minute because the price onthe Dell website changed and the guys at Shipito quickly refunded my money even after the time and effort they spent putting through a Dell build (with coupons). Based on that great customer service and not even really being a customer, I would hapily use them the next time

    I have used US to Oz a few times since seeing it recommended here and have found the service to be fantastic. Unlike some other companies they do not charge extra for consolidating several parcels into one. They will also purchase directly from the store if need be.

    They charge $12.50 or 4.5 per cent of the total of your purchase and shipping, whichever of the two is greater.

    Try jonnybazzar i shopped with them were okay prices, but the best thing was being able to combine multiple packages.
    However downside is new york city tax
