This site, ShopTheStates.com, allows non-US based customers to order through US-based e-tailers (that only ship within the US).

Basically your goods are forwarded to you. You sign up for a US address, then you order items to that address and have them shipped from there to your country. Here’s the process:

1. Sign up for your US mailing address.
2. Shop online.
3. Your packages are deliveried to your US-based address. You then recieve an email from ShopTheStates.com with your best shipping options.
4. You select the shipping option that best suits your budget, then next day your order is shipped directly to your home in your own country.

I really don’t know all that much about it… I just thought it was an interesting concept. According to Alexa its been online since 2003, so I guess its not new. Hmm…?
