How to beat the system buying US products?

[rpmxxipt]

Hi all,

 

A friend of mine in Spain recently wrote me that he was curious about the idea of private "postal handlers" located in NYC or elsewhere, that would receive and hold eBay purchases until it was practical to ship them overseas as one bulk package, thus saving up to $20 US per small boxed item.

 

I've gotten indications from several overseas bidders in some of my auctions that they maintain just such a "drop box" address in NYC, but I'm at a loss to provide my friend with any specifics.

 

Is this a service that is readily available to overseas [European] eBay buyers? What would it cost and is it worth it? Any links to agencies that provide this service would be appreciated!

 

Thank you,

I don't think this is legal anymore since 9-11 but I could be wrong.
