Not sure if this is of interest to anyone, but Bundlebox (www.bundlebox.com) forwards mail etc from the US to the UK. Obviously they charge a fee but News of the World's 'Captain Cash' website has a discount offer at the moment. You have to register first but it might be worth it for some... :goodvibes

Anyway, for more info click here (http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk/capt...und10-off.html)...

Interesting. I had a quick read but do you know if you can order from more than one retailer and get them delivered together i.e. if I placed an order through Disneystore.com and then one through crocs.com would they count as one order?

Has anyone used this?

According to their FAQ you can order from different places and they will box them together in one shipment for you. You tell them when you are ready for them to send the stuff so you can wait until they have everything before you book a shipment.

I came across a similar site a while back but I was put off by the registration fee. As this one doesn't charge a registration fee or a subscription I might sign-up. One thing it would be perfect for is the personalised park maps that Disney won't ship outside the US (if they still do them).

Would the postage be cheaper via this then having something sent from the disneystore.com. Bundle box are not going to charge me $50 on a dress for postage are they?

:confused: I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be, all they are doing is taking delivery of items for you and sending them on, and they even pay all the import duties for you.

You can see their shipping rates here (http://www.bundlebox.com/compared/), and if you can work out the size and weight of the item you are buying you can get an estimate here (http://www.bundlebox.com/shipping_estimate/). It probably won't work out any cheaper than having it shipped direct because you are going to pay for Disneystore to send it to Bundlebox and then for Bundlebox to send it on again (although I probably could have saved a fortune on my D23 membership :sad2: ) but for items that they won't ship overseas it is a Godsend.

Yeah i had a look but can't work the weight of a dress, might have to weigh kyras other dress for a estimate.

I guess its good for snowglobes etc that disneystore.com wont send over seas.
