US P.O. Box

Hello Moneysavers,

I wish to order a CD from a US website, but it only accepts domestic orders.
It appears to be the only site selling it.
Therefore, would it be possible to open a US PO Box address to work round this?
If so, how do I go about it and what is it likely to cost?

Thanks for reading,

Bye.

  • I have a friend in the US and i use my credit card details and his address. he then brings over for me when flying over. not sure if this is strictly legal...

    I am not sure if it is OK for him to post to me as customs may have a problem with this.

    Still got my DVD for $4.99 instead of £14.99 in the UK!!!

    Hi

    There are many companies around offering a US PO Box/Delivery Address, who will then forward on your mail/merchandise - for a price.

    A quick search on Google found:
    http://www.mbex.net/
    and
    http://www.myus.com/

    I have no personal experience of their services, but it's a starting point for you at least.

    Out of interest - if you supply the name of the CD in question, perhaps someone can locate it for you where it can be delivered direct?

    regards

    Thanks to those who responded to my plea?
    In answer to Balor's suggestion, the cd in question is
    Stare Into The Sun - The Best of Allan Havey, Volume I;
    which is sold on the link listed below, via his own website..allanhavey.com

    Bye.
