BundleBox – A better way to buy from the US

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!
