Sometimes I even use freight forwarding when Amazon could ship directly. Lately Amazon has started withholding import and sales taxes on international shipments (something I never had to pay before). And while their US shipping is very cheap, their international rates are not very competitive. Furthermore, freight forwarders allow me to consolidate packages, even repackage.
