Why isn't there this business model yet?

So this is what I was thinking. - You want an item/s that is available in the US to be delivered to Nepal (perhaps there's a big sale, an item is only available there, etc). - You don't have any plan to travel to Nepal in the near future and you think that shipping individual items to Nepal is very expensive, especially for big items/electronics. So here is the business model. A company in the US buys an item you want in the US on behalf of you, and does so for other customers until its quota for group cargo shipping is fulfilled, and then it ships those items in bulk to Nepal, pays fee, insurance, etc. Since we are talking about bulk transactions fees will be cheaper or discounted. You pay this company and submit all the information. or you buy online and ship to this company and notify this company that you need the item shipped to Nepal. You or your relative in Nepal then receives notification when items get to Nepal and clears customs, which are then securely picked up. I did see a similar business model, but that company only does per customer basis, including shipping to Nepal, so the cost is quite steep. Also it may be that I didn't see a company does this business already. Either way if a company doesn't put profit margin way high, thus resulting in high price for end customer, then this is a win win business model.
