I am unable to find any services that allow me (as a non-American person) to order something which is only shipped to American addresses, and have the package forwarded to me in my non-American country. eg what http://www.ship2me.com/ does Does anyone know if such a service exists? Seems like bitcoin is a natural fit for this kind of thing.

There's been a few times I've sent physical bitcoins to Miami, FL with the understanding that I'm sending to a company that forwards shipments around the world.
6910 NW 50th St Miami FL 33166
7339 NW 54th St Miami FL 33166
Google them, they both lead to companies that seem to offer this service.
I doubt they accept bitcoins, if that's part of the question.

Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.

The only problem is people abusing this kind of service. If the market really demands it I can set something like this up, but you wouldn't be allowed to send any sort of illegal goods & we would co-operate with law enforcement ages should they give us a good reason (IE court order, you sending carded goods etc.)

There were a couple of company that do that for Italy (and eventually for Europe) 'till some months ago in Miami near that addresses, but now are closed due to legal problems. The main problem is custom duty and VAT for what I can remember

Characterizing certain uses of these services as abuse doesn't make sense. Bad people use legitimate channels for their activities all the time. That doesn't make the channels bad, nor does it mandate that they "police" things. The point of BTC and these anonymized shipping services is to promote free commerce. Period. If you want policing, charge-backs etc, then buy things on Amazon with USD and ship via UPS. Even better, use PayPal which restricts whole categories of otherwise legitimate goods from buyers and sellers.

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Wrong, if someone has a kilo of cocaine shipped to his mailbox, and he forwards it to Haiti, he will go to prison when customs opens it.

How did you find this very old thread from year 2012? This is definitely an out dated service and I'm sure that OP have already fixed this problem about 4 years ago. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)
