Legitimate freight forwarding service
After reading the reviews from other US based freight forwarding providers, I didn't have much confidence in using one at all. That was until I stumbled across people mentioning on reddit that ShippingXPS was a reliable cost effective option. So I decided to give them a shot. For context, I'm in Australia. There was a gift that was only available in the US and would only ship to an address within the United States. Hence requiring me to use a freight forwarding provider. There were no clear instructions on ShippingXPS's website, so I'll elaborate in case it helps anyone else out. I created a free account with ShippingXPS and used their Shipping Calculator to see roughly how much it was going to cost me to get my gift to Australia from USA. Once signed up, you get access to ShippingXPS 's portal, which provides you with a local US address. You then just order your packages/s and get them delivered to ShippingXPS provided US address. Once they are delivered, ShippingXPS staff confirm they have received your parcel and upload a photo of your parcel/s. They also upload the dimensions and weight of your packages/s. You can now see your package in the ShippingXPS portal. If you have multiple packages, they will be listed and you can chose an option to have them consolidated. (I only had one package so I didn't use this service). Then go through the checkout process, enter your shipping address and select which shipping provider you would like to use and pay. I went with the cheapest option which was $58USD to have my package shipped to AUS. My package only took 7 days to get from the East coast of America to the my doorstep in Australia! Overall, ShippingXPS was easy to deal with and was fast and efficient. Can not recommend them enough.
