You may also wish to consider a
parcel-forwarding service.
I recently used
Parcl.com for the first time. This is an Australian-based site that brings together individuals willing to ship parcels (and also purchase goods) for other people from their home country.
www.parcl.com/about/www.parcl.com/how-it-works/customer/My own transaction went quite smoothly. I needed someone in Finland to:
(i) buy a gift from a shop in Helsinki (which only accepted debit and credit cards registered to Finnish addresses); and
(ii) ship it to a friend in Estonia.
PricingMy item cost the euro equivalent of US $760.79.
Fees- $5.00 for purchase assistance;
- $10.00 for insurance;
- $51.87 for the order processing fees (including Parcl's service commission and PayPal's transaction fee); and
- $18.31 shipping fee for the actual forwarding to Estonia.
Total cost: US $845.97
