I'm starting to think about using a forwarding service to buy some products from the US that are expensive here in Australia or difficult to find, etc. I did a search on the forums and found that some TPFers are using myus.com which looks great but I thought I'd get some further advice. Someone (sorry I can't remember who) mentioned that there might be issues with customs here in Australia. Also, I'd want to check the cost of shipping from the US vs buying in Australia - I saw that myus.com have a shipping calculator but how am I to know how heavy my parcel is going to be? Do you guys just weigh something similar at home to guess?
Any other tips or things to know about forwarding from the US to here? I do have relatives that can forward shopping to me but I'd rather not bother them and of course for them to see what I buy
