I'd like to preface this post with this: I have not yet ordered through ANY of these companies. This overview is based on my research into the costs of these services and not the customer service, speed or reliability of these services. I am considering ordering from a few websites using a service (or more than one) and i will report on those when that happens. For now though, this is simply my compilation of the costs involved to allow you to more simply compare and choose the service you may wish to look into further.
I based all my shipping costs on the weight of 3.5kg (7.7lbs). Most package forwarding services use either the dimensional or actual weight of the package depending on which is greater. Dimensional weight is calculated as follows:
L x W x H
5000
Where a service asked for the dimensions of a package i entered 40cm (L) by 20cm (W) by 15cm (H). This comes to a dimensional weight of 2.4kg which is obviously the lesser weight. This is important to keep in mind as you may purchase something very light (a large teddy bear for example, large but light) thinking that it will not cost a lot in shipping however you would be changed the dimensional weight which may be considerably more.
Another very important thing to note is that when using these services to ship to Australia they must adhere to Customs. This means two things for Australians:
1. Duties & Taxes: If your purchase - including all shipping costs, insurance etc - is more than $1,000AUD duties and tax WILL apply. You can refer to the Customs Website for more information on how duties and taxes are calculated and applied.
2. Dangerous & Hazardous Goods: Almost all of the shipping companies i looked into use USPS, FedEx, DHL, TNT or another similar courier to forward packages. All of these couriers have a restriction on the goods that can be imported into Australia. For those with a mind to purchase beauty products you need to keep in mind that nail polish, nail polish remover, perfumes, hair spray and other such products that are either aerosols or contain alcohol are considered Dangerous & Hazardous Goods and therefore can NOT be shipped. You should refer to the website of the specific courier that will be utilised for more information on what can and can not be shipped to Australia under their guidelines.
For the calculations of the total amount i also used the simple figure of $100 for the purchase itself (excluding any US taxes) and assumed free shipping. The store you choose to order from may not include free domestic shipping - something to keep in mind.
Also as disclosure, i may not have included all fees here so don't take my calculations as gospel. This is simply a rough estimate of costs to see which companies seem to offer the best deal. They don't all disclose all their fee information without membership so there are some costs involved that i may be missing.
The information i looked into was the location of the local address and the US takes applicable, any monthly or per package fees, consolidation and repacking fees, personal shopping services, insurance, storage, returns and any other information that may help make a determination of the service to use (eg photographs of products for free).
Also, the US is looking at changing sales tax on online purchases so the tax information may not be correct upon future reading but was correct at the time this post was published.
With all that said, after my research, in order of cheapest to most expensive these are the companies I've looked into:

If you paid $136 USD for all this and then had to pay $70USD in international shipping using one of the above companies you'd still save $80. That's pretty good considering Drugstore.com you can get all this in one place where as in Australia you'd need to get some from Priceline, Crush Cosmetics and Mecca Cosmetica - all of which charge domestic shipping. Drugstore.com has free domestic shipping for orders over $35USD.

If you paid $136 USD for all this and then had to pay $70USD in international shipping using one of the above companies you'd still save $80. That's pretty good considering Drugstore.com you can get all this in one place where as in Australia you'd need to get some from Priceline, Crush Cosmetics and Mecca Cosmetica - all of which charge domestic shipping. Drugstore.com has free domestic shipping for orders over $35USD.
After all this information I'll leave you with this: My choice will be HopShopGo. It seems like it will be the easiest to use, one of the cheapest and i like that it links to my Paypal.
