The Big Picture
Why 3.5 Billion Shoppers Have Their Eyes on American Stores
Picture Ana in Madrid, searching for envios a españa desde eeuu at midnight. She’s found the perfect jacket on a US retailer — full price €210 in Europe, $89 on the American site. The catch? The checkout page says: “We don’t ship to Spain.”
Or Kenji in Tokyo, hunting a limited Funko Pop that sold out globally but is still available at a US warehouse. Or Fatima in Lagos, who found the perfect dress sizing from an American brand after years of European sizes running too small. Or Diego in Bogotá, searching shipping to Colombia from USA because Colombian boutiques don’t carry the sportswear brands he loves.
These aren’t edge cases. According to cross-border research, 59% of global online shoppers actively buy from foreign retailers — and 51% say lower prices are their primary motivation. The US market offers a combination impossible to find elsewhere: the world’s deepest product catalogue, authentic brand goods, competitive pricing, and first-access to new releases.
“The gap between global demand and what US retailers actually ship internationally costs brands billions in abandoned carts every year — and creates a massive opportunity for smart forwarding services.”— Cross-Border E-Commerce Analysis, 2025
The frustration is real, the market is enormous, and the solution is a US address that receives your packages and ships them to you anywhere on Earth. That solution is DeliveringParcel.

How It Works
Package Forwarding Explained — Simply
A package forwarding service (also called a proxy shipping service, parcel forwarding, or reshipping service) gives you a real physical address in the United States. You shop from any US store — Target, Loft, Best Buy, GameStop, Entertainment Earth, Summit Racing, Goldbelly — ship your purchases there, and DeliveringParcel forwards them to your door internationally.
Think of it like this
You’re not changing the store’s rules. You’re getting a US friend with a real apartment who receives your packages and ships them to you. Except this friend handles 190 countries, is available 24/7, consolidates your orders, and charges wholesale freight rates.
1
Get your free US address
Sign up with DeliveringParcel and receive a real street address in the US — your personal US virtual address. It looks exactly like any American home address to every US retailer.
2
Shop any US store
Enter your DeliveringParcel address at checkout — at Target, Kohls, Best Buy, or any store that says “US only.” They ship it domestically, which is fast, cheap, and always available.
3
Consolidate your parcels
Multiple packages? We combine them into one shipment — one box, one customs form, one international shipping fee. This is where real savings happen.
4
Choose your carrier & receive
Pick from DHL, FedEx, UPS, or economy options. Track your parcel in real time. It clears customs in your country and arrives at your door — whether you’re in Germany, the Philippines, or anywhere else.
03
Your US Address
A Free US Address That Unlocks Every American Store
The single most searched phrase in the package forwarding world is us virtual address free — and for good reason. The address is the key to everything. With DeliveringParcel, your US address is complimentary when you register. There are no monthly fees for the address itself.
Your address includes a unique suite number, making it look exactly like a residential or suite delivery — compatible with every US retailer’s checkout system, including those that verify address formats. It works for fashion (tienda loft cerca de mi, Gap, Nordstrom), tech (Best Buy, Apple), collectibles (Entertainment Earth, GameStop), food & gift delivery (Goldbelly, Harry & David), and even large items via freight.
What makes a good US forwarding address?
Look for a warehouse in a US state with no sales tax — Oregon is particularly popular (Shipito Oregon warehouse-style locations). DeliveringParcel’s facilities are strategically located for both tax efficiency and fast onward shipping to international hubs. Packages are photographed on arrival so you always know exactly what arrived.

Size Charts
The Complete International Size Conversion Guide
One of the biggest anxieties of cross-border fashion shopping is sizing. A size conversion chart for women’s clothing or an international shoe size chart can mean the difference between a perfect fit and an expensive return. We’ve compiled the most-searched conversions below.
Women’s clothing — US to EU / UK / FR / IT
| US | EU | UK | FR (France) | IT (Italy) | CN |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS / 0 | 32 | 4 | 34 | 36 | 155/80A |
| S / 4 | 36 | 8 | 38 | 40 | 160/84A |
| M / 8 | 40 | 12 | 42 | 44 | 165/88A |
| L / 12 | 44 | 16 | 46 | 48 | 170/92A |
| XL / 16 | 48 | 20 | 50 | 52 | 175/96A |
Shoe sizes — US, EU, UK, CN, Russian
| EU | US Women | US Men | UK | CN | RU |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36 | 5.5 | 4 | 3 | 35 | 35 |
| 37 | 6.5 | 5 | 4 | 36 | 36 |
| 38 | 7.5 | 6 | 5 | 37 | 37 |
| 39 | 8.5 | 7 | 6 | 38 | 38 |
| 40 | 9 | 7.5 | 6.5 | 39 | 39 |
| 42 | 10.5 | 9 | 8 | 41 | 41 |
| 43 | 11 | 9.5 | 8.5 | 42 | 42 |
| 44 | 12 | 10 | 9.5 | 43 | 43 |
Pro tip: measure, don’t guess
EU size 38 clothes ≠ EU shoe size 38. Clothing and shoe sizing systems are completely separate. Always check the brand’s specific size chart — American brands like Levi’s and Nike often differ from their EU equivalents even within the same size label. When in doubt, order one size up and use DeliveringParcel’s return assistance service.

Package Consolidation: The Feature That Pays for Everything
Here’s the single most powerful concept in package forwarding: consolidation. Instead of shipping five packages from five US retailers as five separate international shipments, you let them all arrive at your DeliveringParcel warehouse. We repack them into one optimised box and send a single international shipment.
The savings are dramatic. International shipping is priced per shipment — not per item. Five separate DHL shipments to Germany could cost €80–120 total. One consolidated shipment with the same items: €22–35. Active shoppers regularly save hundreds of euros or dollars annually through this feature alone.
“Package consolidation routinely saves hundreds of dollars a year for active international shoppers — it’s the single most important feature to look for in a forwarding service.”— International Shopping Research, 2025
Consolidation works best for:
Fashion hauls from multiple retailers (Loft, Target, Kohl’s in one shipment) · Jewellery and accessories from US boutiques shipping to South Africa or Nigeria · Electronics bought across Best Buy, Amazon US, and Newegg · Collectibles and Funko Pops from Entertainment Earth, GameStop, and third-party sellers · Food gifts (Goldbelly) combined with non-perishable retail orders.

FAQ
Questions We Get Every Day
Is a US forwarding address legal?
Absolutely. Using a package forwarding service is entirely legal. You’re purchasing items that are legally available for sale and shipping them internationally through a registered logistics provider. You remain responsible for any import duties in your own country, which DeliveringParcel helps you estimate upfront.
Does Goldbelly / Harry & David ship to Canada?
Many food and gift companies restrict direct international shipping due to agricultural regulations. With your DeliveringParcel US address, you order domestically — we handle the international leg. Note that some perishable items cannot be forwarded internationally; we’ll always flag these before you order.
How does Funko ship — and can you forward it?
Funko and Entertainment Earth use standard US couriers (UPS, FedEx) for domestic delivery. They land at your DeliveringParcel suite, we inspect and photograph them, and forward to your country. Funko boxes are handled with care to protect collector packaging.
What’s the cheapest way to ship bulk jewellery to South Africa?
Consolidation plus economy air freight (via carriers like PostNL or a regional partner) is typically the most cost-effective for lower-value bulk items. For insured, higher-value jewellery, FedEx International Economy offers the best balance of price and protection. We provide quotes for all options before you commit.
How long does shipping from the USA take?
Express (DHL/FedEx Priority): 3–5 business days to most of Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Standard (FedEx Economy, UPS Standard): 7–12 days. Economy options: 14–28 days. Times vary by destination — we show live estimates at checkout.
Is there a free US mailing address option?
Yes. DeliveringParcel provides a complimentary US suite address on registration with no monthly fees. You only pay when you ship — no subscription required to maintain your address and receive packages into storage.
