Reliable US mail forwarding company?

Hi,
I'm looking to order some goods from the US but the store in question does not ship to the UK so I'm looking for a reliable forwarding company - The type that give you your own US address to send orders to and then ship the goods on to you.
Problem is that I've read some nightmare reviews of companies losing parcels, denying they'd received them, holding goods hostage until you pay more fees etc etc.
The internet also seems to be awash with what appears to be false reviews where various companies have written glowing reviews about themselves which makes it very hard to form an objective opinion. Every forum thread I've read on the subject has got numerous good reports on certain companies by members who have only just joined and posted once.
The goods I plan to buy are quite expensive, not expensive enough to warrant a trip to the US but certainly enough to not want to lose them.
Does anyone here have any experience with any of these companies and if so do you have any recommendations or am I just best off steering well clear?
Thanks.
