Anyone here had any experience with the following internet shopping proposal:

I do understand the GST & Duty implications.

Its definitely worth to check - over last year I bought few things from US including DSLR and treking shoes and the savings were significant. The only problem with buying clothes is the sizes, my first shoes were slightly bigger than I need but on the other end it wasn't hard to find someone who would buy them and order different size again.

Btw there are more forwarding companies in us - I use http://www.shipito.co.nz/ (which basically redirects to us version of site). They are very fast and probably the cheapest.

Please tell me more about shipito.co.nz. Their website states $8.50 per package. There must be some conditions and/or size limitations? How long does it typically take for a package to arrive? Thanks!

I get it now... That's $8.50 in addition to the postage...
