‘Adopt’ A Cousin In US And Start Shopping
Sounds weird? Actually their isn’t anything weird behind adopting a cousin in United State of America. Those of you who already have relatives in US buy items from online US stores and ship them to their homes. Later on it is your relative who ships it to your address in your own country. But people like us who know nobody in US are left dangling nowhere. We can just watch others shopping from online US stores while all that we can do is praise their purchases.
But, when it comes to Internet then we have options available for every problem. How about you adopting virtual cousins on the Internet and use there address as your personal address for all your online shopping in US online stores? Package forwarding services help you do just the same. comGateway, Shipito, vPost, and Borderlinx are some such services that are ready to act as your personally appointed virtual cousins. They willfully provide you their personal address which you can use for all your online shopping from US based online stores. Once your item is delivered to their place then they ship it to your personal address anywhere around the planet via FedEx or DHL. Sweet, eh? Moreover, if you buy your products from multiple stores then they will package them as one big pack and courier the same to you. Time to shop?
This is an interesting way to describe it….but parcel forwarding IS like having a US relative make sure you get items from the US to other locations in the world!
You can sign up one time, receive a lifetime US address, and pay discounted rates of the major carriers. All perks in my mind!
Here are a few more forwarders to look into: http://www.bongous.com http://www.borderjump.com http://www.usa2me.com
Out of all the forwarding companies I have looked into, even the ones mentioned in the post, BongoUS has the most user friendly website, and the entire site can be translated into over 15 languages.
Great post!!
Bongo International is another service that should be mentioned. I've used them various times, and am always pleased. The rates, shipping time (1-5 days worldwide), tracking, mapping, product images, and now a landed cost calculator that is free. Great service they offer.
