US mail forwarding company's - Advice please

Howdy everyone.

I don't know if this is allowed (well we will find out in abit

), but a good forum member Igor told me about a service which will let you have your own US postal address and you can get anything sent there which you can get sent to the UK and then it will be forwarded to your UK address.

Now this is a new system to me so I was wondering if any of my fellow OcUK forum members have used a service like this and if they can recommend any?

www.myus.com looks good but you have to pay a monthly subscription. This is something I am not going to use that often. But they also ship magazines and I think for 12 issues of the Wired magazine for $12 looks like a great price.

So, discuss

"Your Initial £9.99 payment covers you for one year. Once you have your address, no additional fees will apply except for the shipping charges. "

That would be great but it doesn't tell you how much it will cost to ship a parcel from your address to the UK. Unless of course its done by you having to enter in the US address in the pickup section and have it delivered to you. Which will make the price go up and up.

Cheers Chaos. Looks like a monthly payment again though. If it's a monthly payment and I don't use the address in a month will I get charged for it?
