Q: Who is mailforwarding.biz?
A: mailforwarding.biz is Mailbox Exchange®, a brick-and-mortar shipping

service, you can have a forwarding address in the U.S.; and using
our shipping services via DHL or FedEx, you can have the packages
forwarded right to your door.
Q: Why do I need your service?
A: If you currently do not have a U.S. presence, you probably
find it very difficult to purchase many items that are available only
in the U.S., whether through eBay, e-tailers or wholesalers. You can
pay for them using PayPal or Visa/Master card, but the seller might
require a U.S. address for shipping. We solve your problem by providing
you with a forwarding address in the U.S. Once you make a purchase
with this address, we will receive the package on behalf of you and
forward it to you almost anywhere in the world.

computer servers, as long as they are not prohibited
or regulated by the US Government, the shipping
carriers, your country and/or the merchant.
