International Shipping
I have been playing with myus.com which is a US re-mailer and gives me a US address in Florida. This allows items purchased from US companies that only deliver to US postal addresses. This costs about $60 a year which has already payed for itself when buying high cost items.
The price of a mid-range / cheap goods turns out to be only slightly cheaper (R100-R500) when purchasing them locally. High end goods seem to attract a very high margin locally so you can easily save up 50% of the cost by purchasing from overseas when taking advantage of exclusive US discounts.

Another great option for forwarding from the USA is a company called Bongo International http://www.BongoUS.com
I have been using them for a year now and love their service.
There are actually quite a few merchandise remailers. The following thread compares a couple of them.

In hindsight I particularly like USAMAIL1 since they are New-York based and everything to my destination gets shipped via New York. Their costs are quite a bit more than myus.com but I expect that shipping might be cheaper since it does not have to travel from Florida to New York before crossing the Atlantic.
I would personally like the remailers to use google checkout for credit card processing.

Great article, I am a shoe & Fashion lover in London UK, I have been using http://myuspostoffice.com for the last five years and find them to be much superior to myus.com. I have just renewed my annual membership for $79.99, what makes them good is the fast service they give me, I receive my Amazon shipment in AM and they ship it to me in afternoon. You should give them a look. They also accept Paypal and my international credit card. They can ship to Kuwait by US post office and give me the freedom to declare my own values for taxes.
