There’s an interesting site that I’ve run across that offers a very intriguing service. Shipito.com is a website that you can use to set up a virtual address and mail forwarding. If you already have, or are looking to start an online e-commerce site, you will probably need space to store your products. Instead of just using a spare bedroom or whatever you can come up with, you can use their service and have them store your products for you. They will also mail them out for you. It’s an interesting way for small start-up companies to get access to much needed storage space and essentially an employee to handle the shipping of products.

You could also use this service if you’re an international customer and would like to purchase things from online stores that don’t ship internationally. If this is the case, then you can set up one of these virtual addresses and have them forward things to you. It’s a niche need which this site is attempting to solve.

From their website, it doesn’t have any setup fee but requires an annual fee of $50. You would then also pay whatever the actual shipping charges are plust $5.50 for every mail out. It seems like a very simple process and that it would prove very useful for people in the above mentioned situations. I’m sure there are also many other situations where this service could be used as well. Check them out if you think it’s something you could use.
