Mustop (mustop.com/mustop.co.il) has been offline since late in 2001, and returned on January 2003 under new ownership. It is now owned by
NetVision, one of
Israel's largest
ISPs, and the service is identical, providing
Israeli buyers a
US shipping address, allowing them to order from
online stores that don't ship internationally. Instead of a personal/fake address in
Garfield,
New Jersey you now get an address in
Livingston, New Jersey, like so:
Your Name
TOP54321
44 East Northfield Rd,
Livingston, New-Jersey 07039
Tel : 973-740-0095
The prices are also different: $12 per shipment, plus $5 per each 500 grams, excluding taxes and VAT. This means shipping a light as a feather paperback book from the US to Israel set me back around $20. The packages are not delivered directly to the buyer's house, they are left for him, improbably enough, at the Paz gas station of his choice. A receipt is sent by snail mail to the buyer's home address, and must be presented when he comes to collect the package.
Meanwhile another company, EZBuyUS (ezbuyus.co.il) has jumped on the bandwagon. They charge $7.77 per each pound (450 grams) excluding taxes and VAT. The catch is that the minimum for each shipment is $23.31 and covers the first three pounds. I haven't tried this service first hand, but I did however sign up, and received a fake US address similar to this:
Your Name
