BundleBox – A better way to buy from the US

November 4, 2009 By Emma Cossey

For anyone who buys items from the USA regularly, you’ll know there can be a bit of a sting when you get to the checkout and discover you’ve been saddled with a big shipping bill.

We’ve already covered the costs of buying from the USA, but it would seem there’s a new solution to those shipping costs. Bundle Box is a new way of cutting costs by allowing you to send more goods in one go, and therefore save money by bulk posting.

The basic concept is:

  • You are assigned a personal address in the USA. You can then get your items sent to this address
  • Bundle Box then consolidates all your items into one package, where you can take advantage of their competitive shipping rates
  • You’ll then get your items in 5 working days.

With the postal strike and the ridiculous number of items I’ve added to my favourites on Etsy, I’ll definitely be looking into this as a cost saving option. They’ve even kindly highlighted some of the best deals from the USA.

Additional services include a ‘Buy for me’ option if your credit card isn’t accepted with some international stores, and a carbon offset option for the eco-friendly minded.

All this comes just in time for Christmas!

    Looks interesting but it all depends on how much they charge for delivery themselves.
