Has anyone had experience with a packaging forward service for sellers that don't ship to Australia?
So it looks like I get given a "Suite" Number at an American address and any packages that get delivered there will be forwarded on to me. Does anyone know if they just slap a second label on the box, or do they take the contents out and repackage them? As a shipping forwarding service, how do they handle declaring contents when they are just forwarding the package on without knowing the type or value of contents?
Also how expensive are these services compared to regular international shipping? Any reputable ones to recommend? Cheers

I use Shipito.
With any of them it depends on the services you select and how much you want to pay.
If you are ordering more than one item and consolidation is req, then repackaging may be of benefit.
Yes, I have had things re-labelled and forwarded on without issue, Shipito provide a photo of the article on receipt.
You complete the customs dec and other paperwork about the value in USD$ online.
If your seller just does not want to sell to Australia and it is not available elsewhere it isn't really fair to compare that to a seller that does. Amazon often ship cheaply within the USA anyway.
These people have to earn something for what they do.
