    USA Freight Forwarders

    I've got my eye on an item in the States but the company doesn't do international.
    What are the options for freight forwarders?
    And please do not suggest Youshop.

    www.shipito.com

    They wont touch anything remotely to do with firearms though. Rings, scopes etc are a no go.

    They’ll even purchase on your behalf if franchise/agencies get in the way.

    They have a setup in California and Oregan. CA is great for quick shipping, but to avoid CA state taxes I recommend using the OR setup.

    They consolidate if you have multiple purchases

    Photos of goods received

    Remove price tags /invoices

    They do charge you GST on goods and shipping on behalf of our all taxing nanny state, but you get to do your own customs declaration…….

    That might work, but often International shipping is as much hassle for an individual as a business.

    I remember getting pissy with an Ebay seller in Canada years ago. He was very apologetic, but said they were six hours drive from the nearest outpost with a Post agency…….

    I'm sure Reloading International in Oregon would handle it. I've had stuff sent there and they have shipped to NZ. They handle firearm and reloading related stuff and will obtain a shipping quote for you if asked.
    Good guys to deal with too.

    Contact Charlton Imports in Gore, they have a US base. ( a long way from you but is an option?)
