Online retailers may not only refuse to ship internationally, but also refuse to ship to freight/parcel/package forwarders (that use virtual US addresses). And it is interesting that even US shops that do offer international shipping, may refuse to ship to freight/parcel/package forwarders. Other USA shops accept international debit/credit cards and ship to Shipito warehouse in Tualatin, OR. The following chart below mentiones 170+ successful and 70+ unsuccessful transactions reported by Shipito customers
As you can see many US online retailers ship to freight/parcel/package forwarders. And since prices are significantly lower in the USA, many customers use parcel forwarding (package forwarding, freight forwarding) services like Shipito for shipping even to distant countries like Russia, Australia, New Zealand.
Personally I prefer to use amazon.com more than any other US shop. Not only it is the largest shop in the USA, but also accepts international credit cards, ships to freight/parcel/package forwarders like Shipito, and it is great at refunds. And you don't need to pay sales tax (5-10% in many states) when shipping from Amazon to the no salex tax location in Tualatin, Oregon.
Also I like USA private shopping clubs especially the ones that support international debit and credit cards:
While you may use Assisted Purchases from Shipito or any other service when making purchases in online stores, such services won't work well with lightning fast sales that private shopping clubs offer. So it is really great that private shopping clubs support international cards and ship to freight forwarders (also known as mail forwarders, package forwarders).
And I make many purchases in sports online stores:
What freight/parcel/package forwarders do you use? Do you use Assisted Purchases? What shops do you like and what is your experience with them?

As you can see many US online retailers ship to freight/parcel/package forwarders. And since prices are significantly lower in the USA, many customers use parcel forwarding (package forwarding, freight forwarding) services like Shipito for shipping even to distant countries like Russia, Australia, New Zealand.
My favorite shops shipping to Shipito warehouse in Tualatin, OR
Personally I prefer to use amazon.com more than any other US shop. Not only it is the largest shop in the USA, but also accepts international credit cards, ships to freight/parcel/package forwarders like Shipito, and it is great at refunds. And you don't need to pay sales tax (5-10% in many states) when shipping from Amazon to the no salex tax location in Tualatin, Oregon.
Also I like USA private shopping clubs especially the ones that support international debit and credit cards:
While you may use Assisted Purchases from Shipito or any other service when making purchases in online stores, such services won't work well with lightning fast sales that private shopping clubs offer. So it is really great that private shopping clubs support international cards and ship to freight forwarders (also known as mail forwarders, package forwarders).
And I make many purchases in sports online stores:
Share your experience on shipping purchase outside the USA
What freight/parcel/package forwarders do you use? Do you use Assisted Purchases? What shops do you like and what is your experience with them?
