Can someone tell me how these USA addresses work and what extra charges are involved?  I have been going to purchase something only to find they won't sell outside USA. This is probably the way around that.  ;D

WEST AUSTRALIANS. Yes I did shout. I have just walked in the door and thought I would let you know before I unpack the shopping.
I went to Kitchen Warehouse for a look around this morning and they had Chookie's chip maker. The very best thing was when I paid for it it was only $15. I was very happy. Will post a photo of my purchases later. I bought mine at the Cannington Kitchen Warehouse.

Happy happy.

I'm new to this, Marie .. Someone like CP or Maddy could explain it better. Basically, you go to the chosen providers website, follow the bouncing ball so to speak to create an account.  They will then advise you of the address to use for your purchases.

Go to say Amazon, etc and if the wont ship internationally , have them mail it to you At the US address given.

From what I understand when the agent receives your parcel they email you with the next step to be taken.

This is my first experience which is still "in the middle "... Will let you know how things turn out with this particular agent.

DH gave me some money for Christmas for girls Bunnings. I went to Kitchen Warehouse this morning and had a bit of fun. I managed to get some Freekah there too.
