[DubSteve]

Hi Guys,

Anyone know of any freight forwarding company from the US I can use?

Time at the moment has eluded me so this is why I am posting here.

Cheers

I tried them but how do you get something from a supplier to there destination I couldnt see it on there website

once you sign up with HSG they will give you your own personal address there.

When you buy your goods, you give the seller the dubsteve address at HSG

man that's a pretty nifty system.

i'll have no choice but to use these guys from now on, given that friggin backcountry wont ship my brand of snowboard overseas anymore (neversummer, and its either HSG or driving to jindabyne just to buy one from cherri cherri pow pow).

Jeese Scott, I was in Jindy a week ago, I could have picked one up for you!

once you sign up with HSG they will give you your own personal address there.

When you buy your goods, you give the seller the dubsteve address at HSG

then does HSG know where to send them to or do you have to tell them?

Try myUS.com.

Greg Roles reckons they're pretty good.

I mainly ship from INA in Canada, so i'm not much help.

Steve, the process is:

you register with HSG, advise your home address etc.
They give you a unique address to get your goods sent to.
You then go shopping wherever you want to.
Tell the seller the HSG address, and Seller sends goods there.
Once HSG receives them, they email you with a shipping quote.
you pay HSG (via paypal)
They send you the goods.

you can also have multiple sellers send their goods to you and HSG will hold them until they all arrive, then pack them in one box for you and save on shipping costs.

also, if the Seller wont sell to you (you dont have an american credit card for example), then you instruct HSG the details and they will go and buy it for you as well as ship it

that's awesome, gareth. bookmarked! (hsg, that is).

as for the board - i dont need a new one for a while, hehe. either way, going off to perisher for a few days with the old man... hopefully the kickers are still hittable (i'd like to get footage of myself).
