I'm looking for a middle person based in the U.S who could take receipt of some video games I wish to purchase and then mail them all to me in the U.K in one big package, to reduce costs (and some games he sellers will only post to within the U.S). Naturally I would reimburse the shipping costs and pay any import charges.
How should one go about such?

If the sellers ship within the US can't you use a forwarder service from like Aramex or Fedex? Most of them have a US address and will most likely ship to the UK.

I'm probably just blind and dumb, but I can't see any information about such a service on their websites?
A couple of dedicated forwarding services have been suggested, but their prices are basically as high as shipping them individually to the U.K and I can't see any evidence they would merge several packages into one, which is important cost wise.

My apologies. I did a quick check and it turns out some the forwarders I mentioned don't include the UK for some reason. Aramex's Shop & Ship service seems limited to Asia. The only one I know that actually ships to the UK is MyUS. You can see an overview here. The good news is that they have consolidation, the bad news is that it's a 7$ per month subscription. Your best bet is to ask your local shipping companies (including the post office itself) if they have any kind of forwarder service, preferably with a onetime payment and free consolidation.
