My wife makes use of a forwarding company in Germany. The fees are reasonable. They will also do the bidding for you and various other services. I don't know of a reasonably priced service in the US. There was one once - a guy running out of his garage - it worked well for the first month until he was swamped with work and ended up taking forever to forward things. If you start this be prepared to do the work if it comes. Most of the time my wife will email the seller and ask if they will ship to Austalia. She either gets a yes response (she has good feedback) or the seller ignores her in which case she doesn't bid. My wife does FAR more buying and selling than I ever will so I just tag onto her reputation. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
