Anyone used a proxy for  US to UK purchases?

I use friendly forum members.. just put a shout out in the Small Qs thread, i'm sure someone will come to the rescue.

I got you if you need! Though someone who lives on the east coast might be a little cheaper

I've heard of people using Forward2me rather easily and successfully for the reverse journey of UK to US. I have no personal experience with them though.

I can help proxy too if needed or if the fees above are extortionate. I'm in the sticks of the US though and somewhat far from a major shipping hub so it might be a large time or money saving at that point

There are stores in Italy and Belgium where I buy leather - they will not sell to me unless the purchase is at least £135 (shipping incl.) … so I’m getting hit with every tax the UK feels obliged to charge.

There are stores in Croatia and Denmark where I buy leather - they couldn’t care less how little (or how much) I buy and if the order is less than £135 the stuff turns up a week later and not a penny extra paid.
