I have finally used the coupon code MC51 from Mastercard to get free international shipping from Gilt, a private shopping club (flash sale site, sample sale site, private sale site). The best thing about my purchase is that I ordered a pretty heavy KitchenAid mixer. The coupon allowed me to ship it to Russia for FREE saving $175.

Gilt: Free international shipping from Mastercard: KitchenAid Mixer

The mixer does require me to use a power converter. But this is not a big deal considering the fact that it costs $1000 USD in Russia and it costed me only $281.79 when purchased on Gilt. The only problem is that Food Grinder attachments are no longer in stock on Gilt. So hurry up until the mixers are in stock.

p.s. Don’t forget that new Gilt clients get $25 on their account when registering via this link.
Also remember to use cash back services. For example, Extrabux pays back 3% from your Gilt purchases.

US eBay sellers now can ship their items located in the USA internationally via Global Shipping Program. All they need to do is to ship the item to a US shipping center (US parcel processing facility). International shipping experts there manage the international shipping and customs process, and send the item to the international buyer.

Using the eBay Global Shipping Program to ship internationally from the USA

For a listing to be eligible for the Global Shipping Program:

  • The item must be physically located in the US.
  • The item must be listed for sale on eBay.com.
  • The package must not weigh more than 66 lbs.
  • The package must not exceed 66 inches in length.
  • The package must not exceed the maximum dimensions of 118 inches.
  • Dimensions = length + 2 * (width + height). Length is the packages longest side.
  • The package must not exceed the maximum dimensional (DIM) weight of 66 lbs. Dimensional weight = (length x width x height) / (dimensional factor) where the dimensional factor = 166.
  • The transaction must not exceed a price of $2,500. If an auction-style listing results in a winning bid in excess of this amount, a message is sent to the winning buyer telling them to contact you directly to make alternate shipping arrangements. Sellers receive a notice when the listing ends and are responsible for arranging international shipping and applicable US export rules, regulations, and procedures.
  • The item must not be ineligible, illegal, hazardous, subject to export restrictions, prohibited by eBay, or prohibited by the Global Shipping Program.
  • The item must be listed in a category that is currently supported by the Global Shipping Program.
  • PayPal must be included as an accepted payment method in the listing.

eBay sellers can currently ship internationally via the Global Shipping Program to the following countries only: Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom.

International eBay buyers from these countries can see an estimated delivery date that includes eBay seller handling time, estimated ship time to the US shipping center, and the estimated delivery time from the US shipping center (US parcel processing facility) to the buyer’s location. International eBay buyer can see an estimate of the international shipping charges and the import charge. During checkout, the buyer can see the final charges which include the item cost, the international shipping charges, and the import charge. The international shipping charges include any US shipping, as well as program fees, third-party international shipping charges, fuel surcharges, and processing and handling fees. The import charge includes applicable customs duties, taxes, and third-party brokerage.

Unfortunately items contained in a single order should be shipped in a single package. Multiple orders (either belonging to the same buyer or different buyers) should not be combined and should be packaged in separate boxes.

Currently eBay uses a third party global technology and shipping provider Pitney Bowes Inc. for shipping internationally.

More details for eBay sellers can be found on eBay

When I started purchasing stuff in the USA and China, one of my first ideas was to buy a mountain bicycle (MTB) or a hybrid bike. I really liked the prices in the USA on web-sites like bikesdirect.com. The problem is that the package with the bike is oversized, so it is not possible to ship it by USPS Express Mail or USPS Priority Mail. Some bikes on eBay can be sent anywhere in the world, but the shipping rates are usually outrageous. I was not willing to buy a bicycle in China, because of the potential problems with the quality of Chinese products. The next obvious step for me was to search in Europe. Luckily there are a couple of shops there that ship anywhere in the world including Russia. And they exclude VAT when shipping outside the European Union.

German bicycle (bike) shops shipping internationally

  • Nano Bike Parts (Germany) – bike shop selling bicycles, bike parts and accessories. Excludes VAT when shipping outside the European Union. Sells mountain bikes, cross bikes, road bikes, kids bikes,… Wide range of Cannondale and Cube bikes. The most popular bikes among Russian clients are Cube Acid, Cube LTD Pro, Cube Race Pro. Bike shipping to Russia costs 49 EUR. Web-site in multiple languages including Russian.

British bicycle (bike) shops shipping internationally

  • Chain Reaction Cycles (the UK) – bike shop selling bicycles, bike parts and accessories. Bike shipping to Russia costs USD $85. Doesn’t sell Kona and Cube bicycles to clients in Russia. Doesn’t pack bicycles good enough for shipping via Russian Post. Excludes VAT when shipping outside the European Union. Web-site in multiple languages including Russian.
  • Wiggle (the UK) – bike shop selling bicycles, bike parts, accessories and bike clothing. Bike shopping to Russia via DHL costs 50 British pounds. Excludes VAT when shipping outside the European Union. Web-site in multiple languages including Russian.

Private shopping sites (fashion sale sites, private sale clubs, sample sale sites) offer designer clothing for men, women, kids at discounted prices. They allow you to buy fashion clothing as well as other stuff at a 50-90% discount. The only problem is that top US and Canadian private shopping sites do not offer International shipping. But there are exceptions.

Few private shopping clubs offer international shipping. Prive.com claims to ship not only to Canada, the USA, the UK, but also internationally. But is it a legit shopping club?

Is Prive a legit shopping club or scam and fraud?


I’ve ordered a couple of jeans and a jacket from Prive. I’ve sent them to the my virtual USA address (I’ve been using Shipito package forwarder). Here is my package from Prive on Shipito:

Prive.com package in the US warehouse of Shipito

I’ve consolidated my packages (only one of them was from Prive.com) and sent them to Russia. I can confirm now that Prive.com is a legitimate shopping club.

Comparing Prive with my favorite shopping club


I still prefer to use a USA shopping club Ideeli with my shipping forwarder Shipito. Both Prive and Ideeli support International debit and credit cards, but there are many reasons why Ideeli is better:

  • Ideeli allows you to add items to your order after placing it. You can also change your order or cancel it easily. This is very important when using flash sale sites. It is very disappointing that you can’t change your order, add items or cancel your order on Prive.
  • Ideeli has much more sales than Prive. And besides clothing for men and women Ideeli offers items for kids, home and travel deals.
  • Prices on Ideeli are lower than on Prive.
  • Ideeli has size charts, so it is much easier to find the size that you need.
  • Ideeli ships your orders much faster than Prive.
  • Ideeli has better photos of clothing.

As of February 17th 2012, Prive.com is closed.
And they didn’t return my 650 dollars of credits to me, so this is a scam.

Apple Store USA started selling the unlocked version of Apple iPhone 4S. This time Apple started selling the unlocked version of iPhone very soon after its launch. Many international fans will be able to buy the latest version of iPhone in the USA.

Unlockled Apple iPhone 4S in the US Apple Store

Current price of Apple iPhone 4S in the Apple Store USA:

  • iPhone 4S 16GB – $649.00
  • iPhone 4S 32GB – $749.00
  • iPhone 4S 64GB – $849.00

You can buy the unlocked version of Apple iPhone in the Apple Store USA, but there are 2 problems to address:

  1. Apple Store USA ships within the USA only. So you need to get a virtual USA address from package forwarding company like Shipito.

     

  2. Apple Store USA allows to pay with a US or Canada debit/credit card only:

    When an order is placed using a credit card as payment, the Apple Store will perform an automated check to confirm that the address information matches what is on file with the card-issuing bank. It is less likely that an automated response will be received from an international bank than from a U.S. bank. If a response is received and indicates that some of the information does not match, we must contact the bank for verification. If the card-issuing bank is outside the U.S., the secondary verification is not possible, and we cannot proceed with the order. For this reason, Apple strongly recommends that you use only credit cards issued within the U.S. or Canada.

    If you don’t have any credit cards issued within the USA or Canada, you may use Assisted Purchases services from companies like Shipito.

    Shipito: Assisted Purchases

Bottom line: For purchasing Apple iPhone 4S, use a package forwarder (freight forwarding company) like Shipito for both a virtual USA address and paying for the purchase in the Apple Store USA.

    Payment

    The outnet accepts Visa, Visa Electron, MasterCard, American Express, Delta and Maestro credit and debit cards.

    Taxes and duties

    Taxes and duties are calculated according to your shipping destination and itemized at the bottom of the Order Summary page. UK VAT will be applied to orders dispatched within the United Kingdom, excluding the Channel Islands. Local VAT will be applied to all other EU destinations. Most countries are shipped to on a DDP (Delivery Duty Paid) basis, which means that all relevant import taxes and duties will be included in the final purchase price. When a DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) destination is selected, the product prices displayed are exclusive of all taxes and duties, as well as UK VAT. So once your order arrives at its destination you will be required to pay all import duties, customs and local sales taxes levied by the country you are shipping to, in order to release your order from customs.

Part 1: SharkStores Payment and Shipping Restrictions
Part 2: Overcoming SharkStores Shipping Restrictions and shipping outside the US

SharkStores Payment and Shipping Restrictions

SharkStores has the following Payment and Shipping policy:

SharkStores accepts American Express, VISA and MasterCard payments. PayPal Express is also available.

SharkStores ships to any address in the United States and its territories. This includes Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and Guam as well as all US Armed Forces addresses worldwide. And yes, Lulani, that includes Lana’i, Hawaii’s Pineapple Isle.

You will receive an e-mail confirmation containing the tracking number of your package once your item ships. Shipping information is available on your Account page, where you can also track your order.

Overcoming SharkStores Shipping Restrictions and shipping outside the US

SharkStores accepts international debit and credit cards, so there are no problems paying for your items. But when ordering from SharkStores you may get the following error message:

No shipping methods were found for your address. Please edit your address to continue.

SharkStores (DiamondShark) problem: No shipping methods were found for your address

SharkStores (DiamondShark) problem: No shipping methods were found for your address

 

It is easy to overcome this limitation and ship to your country. Just get a virtual address in the USA using a company like Shipito.

Shipito allows you to use virtual USA addresses. They have multiple locations in the USA. If you use their warehouse in Torrance, California, you will be able to consolidate your packages (if needed) and send them to your country by USPS Express Mail, USPS Priority Mail, Polonez Parcel, USPS Flat rate box and Flat rate envelope, FedEx, FedEx MPS, Fedex Freight, Shipito Air Mail, DHL, TNT.

I’ve received 10+ packages from DiamondShark (SharkStores) using my Shipito virtual USA address, so I can recommend both SharkStores and Shipito.

Here is my SharkStores (DiamondShark) package in the Shipito warehouse in Torrance, CA:

What is Ideeli

Ideeli is an american private shopping club (fashion sale site, private sale club, flash sale site, sample sale site). It offers designer clothing for men, women, kids at discounted prices. Private shopping clubs organize sales events for its members that typically last 1 to 6 days. Members can buy fashion clothing as well as other stuff at a 30-90% discount.

Billing and international shipping restrictions on Ideeli

Ideeli.com states the following:

You must be a legal resident of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia, who have reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction (which is generally 18 years old, but does vary state to state). You cannot have more than one membership.

You need a US debit card or credit card to make a purchase on Ideeli. No other payment methods accepted:

Screenshot: Ideeli.com: Payment method

And Ideeli can ship to the USA addresses only.

Overcoming billing and international shipping restrictions on Ideeli

You can shop on Ideeli.com from outside the USA even, if you want your purchases to be shipped outside the USA. You need to get a virtual address in the USA using a service like Shipito.

Here is a package from Ideeli.com delivered to my virtual USA address:

Package from Ideeli.com on Shipito before package consolidation and international shipping

Screenshot: Package from Ideeli.com on Shipito before package consolidation and international shipping

I use a U.S. virtual address from Shipito to get my purchases. Then I use Shipito to consolidate my packages and send them overseas. So international shipping is no longer a problem.

How to shop on Ideeli.com from outside the USA

  • Get a virtual USA address from Shipito or any other parcel/package forwarding service.
  • Register on Ideeli using an invitation link: www.ideeli.com/invite/outlogic
    Use your virtual address when registering on Ideeli.

  • When making a purchase on Ideeli.com just use your USA virtual address for shipping.
  • Billing can be more complicated.
    • If you have a U.S. debit or credit card, then pay with this card and use the address associated with it for billing. This is the best option.
    • Alternatively you may use the address from your debit/credit card, but change the country to the USA and choose some state and ZIP code associated with this state. I know several people who managed to pay for their Ideeli purchase this way, but of course there is no 100% guarantee.
    • Also some Ideeli customers use the virtual US address for billing successfully while using a non US credit/debit card.
    • Update (05 November 2011:
      Use your virtual address as a billing address, and pay with your International credit/debit card. don’t need to masquerade your IP address and pretend you’re in the USA. I’ve done this multiple times with my russian debit card and my virtual Shipito address in Torrance, California and Tualatin, Oregon. Many international customers have the same successful experience with Ideeli, but I can’t guarantee it will work for you.
  • After getting a package from Ideeli delivered to Shipito, fill the customs declaration form, consolidate your packages if needed, and ship them to any country you like.

Share your experience on international shipping from Ideeli

Do you use a U.S. debit or credit card for making purchase on Ideeli? Do you use a virtual USA address? What parcel/package forwarding service do you use?

I love Ideeli and will continue shopping on their site. But you may find it easier to use Private shopping sites / private shopping clubs / fashion sale sites offering International Shipping. Then you won’t need to deal with parcel/package forwarding services (freight forwarding companies), and you won’t have problems paying for your orders from outside the USA.
