Mail forwarding ?

mummytofour

Hi,
I'm not sure where to put this but hope you guys can help?
I have to get my sons clothes imported from the USA as over here the sizes just don't meet his needs.

Anyway, the postage is costing such a lot of money, I use Landsend.com and am very good at getting discount codes for the items but the postage is very hight. For example 3x rash vests and a pair of swimming shorts is £20 postsge plus £12 tax.

Can anybody suggest a cheaper way, for example a mail forwarding service? Or is it a case of suck it up?

Thank you 😃

Thats the problem when ordering from outside the UK. I buy a lot from China but i know the stuff will go in the bin if its unsuitable.

Sending it back costs way more than it costs to buy and ship.

eg i bought a hand tool for £5 inc p&p. It arrived and was way smaller than dimensions given. I checked return postage costs and it was £14 to return it, yet only £5 to make and post it?

I think the OP is not so much having issues returning, but the cost for the items to be sent to her.

I think I must be looking at the wrong site, but Landsend.com for me has a UK site with £3.95 postage.
