PO Box in US

A student has six dogs and a cat. This country does not have much in the way of stuff for dogs so she would like to buy on ebay and other places in the US. (Most will not ship overseas.) Is it possible to set up a US PO Box and have it automatically forwarded to the UAE?

I told her I doubt the USPS would be able to do it but I am pretty sure a private business could. Any suggestions?

  1. USPS doesn't forward abroad. Because it's not patriotic. And communist.

  3. Yep, it's very possible and doable. She needs to go to aramex.com, and go into their Shop N Ship site. There she can set up for free an address in New York, which resembles a street address & phone, although it's a drop box. Then all U.S. purchases can be shipped to the NY address, and then Aramex will automatically send that stuff over here, and she just pays the Aramex shipping fee once it's delivered. I've used this for the past couple of years and it's great!

  4. I'll do it for a 20% return on shipping fees!
