Tell me about it. So many goodies available from the USA...pretty reasonably priced and then you add the shipping....and suddenly it blows the budget!
I'm considering a US holiday and taking an empty suitcase!
Our postal service NZ Post has a thing called YouPost (or YouShop, or something like that) we have an account with them, when we buy the well priced goods/parts from shops in the USA they usually have free delivery in USA. We have the goods shipped to "our" address in the USA and NZ Post gets them here real cheap, usually about 1/4 of the site price from the US dealers quote price.
No reflection on the US Dealers here but the Fedex etc are expensive.
When it lands in NZ Post Depot USA it gets put in a container or airfreight bin and we get given the price. Takes longer but they also will accumulate your orders and send as one parcel. Customs look at each parcel not the whole lot also, so accumulating a number of parcels and you are still sweet with taxman too.
Its a good service.
I received a parcel just today and have two more shipments on way at moment. Good for bike parts.
