Shipito, a parcel forwarding (mail forwarding, package forwarding, freight forwarding) company, has several warehouses in the USA. It allows you to use virtual USA addresses for making purchases in the USA and then shipping them worldwide. This is very helpful service considering the fact that US online shops offer one of the lowest prices and the broadest assortment of goods, but many of them do not ship internationally. The only problem is that in some cases even if you plan to ship overseas, you will still have to pay the Californian sales tax (which is almost 10%) when shipping to the warehouses of Shipito in Torrance, California. That's when other Shipito warehouses come in handy.
