Purchase OS using a postal "drop" service in the US

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

I've used that service a number of times. My first shipment was consolidated from a number of suppliers. They are good at handling this sort of situation to reduce your shipping cost. I was purchasing a large backpack plus lots of smaller items.

Can anyone recommend a similar type of service to shipito for the UK?

google brings up a few, but was just wondering if anyone has had personal experience with any and can recommend any.
