No forwarder will likely be willing to do this however... Best bet is to make friends with an American and get him to ship it to you. (I will be in the US from March 14th to April 5th and would have no problem at all helping out).

Using this method I have had over 20-30 packages sent from the US to Spain without a single customs charge.

Now, that might just be Spanish laziness, or my good luck.
Spain? uhmmmm... which town?
Do you offer home service? ;-)
