How can Eastbiz help not to lose international sales?
So if the customer uses this address, is he/she a scammer or not?
I have problems ordering from Timberland USA. No matter what I do, they reject my transactions. And they don’t cancel my order right away. They tell me about it saveral days later, so I can’t even repeat my order using assisted purchases, because many items are would be sold out and coupon would expire. The only solution I have found is to buy from Amazon Marketplace, however Timberland coupons don’t work there.
Can this shipping forwarder send lithium batteries to an APO address?
I live outside the US, so this is interesting. But where can I find a list of shops shipping to this address and supporting non-US credit cards?
