What's the difference between package forwarding and NiagaraMailbox?

Forwarding services receive your package and then re-ship it to you, usually charging a per-package handling fee plus shipping and customs brokerage costs. NiagaraMailbox simply holds your package for pickup, you collect it yourself, so there's no second shipment and no brokerage fee.
