I use reshipping centers a lot, even if the store ships internationally. There are two main reasons:

1 - I may buy a lot of things from Amazon. It's cheaper to pay US shipping for X times (sometimes they are free) and only one international shipping to my country.

2 - Customs taxes, etc. The company I use for reshipping takes care of everything. I pay them and they deliver the items to my house at the time I ask them to do it. If not, due to the policies of my country customs, I would have to attend a custom office for every item I purchased, which is a pain in the ass.

Don't discriminate us, please.




Do the reshippers actually pay the duties to the countries or do they just pretend like you don't need to?


They pay but it is included in the price I pay to them.
