Yeah I've done it. Purchased some trainers from Europe which weren't available in my size domestically. Not risky at all...
That's the kinda thing you're thinking right? You weren't gonna order a stinking pack of drugs to a postal proxy... thereby doubling it's exposure to customs, postal inspectors and sorting machines (which like to rip packaging when they feel like it)... because that would be fucking ridiculous... especially when the vendor wasn't t confident enough in his stealth to ship it directly.

So, I'm thinking ordering a pound of heroin or some other highly illegal substance is not something you would want to pass through a reshipper. The first reason why not to do this is that intl packaging is a lot different than domestic, so your vendor is likely not preparing packages with customs in mind. Then your curveball, if it gets that far, ends up a ripped bag in front of a puzzled reshipper Dude and customs agent with an evil laugh.
But reshippers are great for, say, acquiring EU only Visa bitcoin cards in the USA.

Such services are totally ok to use for personal shopping and shipping to your location. If you need more protection, pay with PayPal, this way you'll be guaranteed a refund in case you prove they didn't ship your items (but I'm sure it's a very rare case). I use parcl to ship my buys from the UK stores, works pretty well. But a bit costly..
Nobody has responded because it doesn't sound smart. What do you want from the uk that you cannot get in the USA?
