Drop shipping from USA to Australia
Anyone have a relatively cheap recommendation on a drop shipping service for stuff you can't get posted directly to Australia from the USA?
Need some more 6" Blast gates and I like the clearvue ones but Clearvue Cyclones Aus has shut down for now at least due to the prices.
For those that don't know, drop shipping is basically a service some companies offer where you can get something sent to a USA address and the company handles forwarding it on to Australia for you.

I use Ship7 sometimes, but generally have been using MyUS. MyUS fees are rising, but their FedEx rates are pretty good for bulky things.

Maybe you don't need the USA.

NCArcher and fletty are the members to contact. I don't know if they have a non-motorised version, but I can't see a reason why not.

Blast gates are bulky. Unlikely it will be economic to ship overseas.
(Shipping a container full is completely different than shipping an a few to an individual).
Blast gates are very easy to make yourself.

I used Shopmate (Auspost) when I ordered my blastgates from Blastgateco years ago but I see Shopmate is no longer around.
Planetexpress looks like it's successor but have never used them.USA Address • Package Forwarding • Planet Express

Easy peasy.
For US-->AU use MyUS.com
For big and bulk use Amamex's https://www.shopandship.com/en/login
ShopandShip charge only by weight, not volume. Bulky things that weigh little can take advantage of this. I've written to them previously and they have absolutely confirmed this to be true.

The two outfits I mentioned also ship from the UK, but of course you then have to pay VAT since the goods go first to a domestic address. So, not using a forwarder. Or at all really.
