    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    And if you find a pair from a store that don't ship to the UK you can try www.shopanyamericanstore.com (also do ebay stuff)

    Any idea how much this service costs? They don't seem to quote fees unless you go through the whole process.

    We buy online from Pets megastore
    and save a fortune.Just looking at
    a recent reciept here thats on my desk,
    Last time ordered the Frontline for
    dogs,for a friend

    1 x Frontline plus flea control cat 1 - 23lb £12.64
    .

    I've just bought
    1 x Frontline Plus cat 6 month pack (6 pipets) £29.62

    Must price this up at my vets, but as this needs a vet visit that will easily be more.

    I could have got 6 Frontline normal in the UK for about £10 less, but the plus is like the combo?
  • After spending a few hours comparing the shipping rates for all the package forwarding companies mentioned in this forum and other forums on the web, I found out that Viaddress.com offers the lowest shipping rates according to the shipping calculators on all those sites.
    Their Package forwarding service is actually FREE !, with NO set up fees and NO monthly membership fees and they also offer FREE Concierge Service!!! While other companies charge you 5% to 15% commission fee. It also says on their website that they have the biggest Personal shopper service on Ebay.com in the US.
    Well… All of these good points convinced me to try them… and I’m glad I did...
    I have used them to shop from Ebay in the US and on other couple of US sites that didn't ship outside the US and I was able to save a lot on shipping by combining all my boxes in one large box for FREE! You can do this by using the package consolidation tool in your account area on Viaddress.com.

    I quite agree that Viaddress.com at viaddress.com offers the lowest shipping rates to forward packages from the US to other countries. Anyone can do a comparison of the shipping rates and find out that Viaddress is the best option if you’re planning to shop from US merchants.

    The fact that they don’t have a Setup fee or a monthly membership fee, had convinced me to use them for my last purchase from the states, and I’m quite satisfied with the speed of the processing of my packages.

    I decided to follow them on twitter at twitter.com/viaddress and I got hold of some pretty generous coupons that I used to get some pretty darn good discounts!

    Just a guess but the join dates/number of posts and content make IntelGenius and Vivika_A look more than a bit dodgy..
