@njdevilsfan85 Hello Andrew, thanks to global credit card companies, most of the credit cards are able to pay in other countries. But for the ones that has the problem you mentioned, we are going to lunch purchase assistance service for our hosts. Thank you for your feedback.
Looks great, but other shipping options apart from express couriers should be added. Not because I prefer my packages to arrive slower, but because how express couriers treat customs and taxes. I always avoid them as much as I can, so using this service would not be an option at all for me :(
Great idea! It would make sense to have a "ship now" landing page that lets you define what to ship and who to ship it to, fill in all details and then on "Next" you have to create an account. Also, we have a pretty large office in Stockholm where we already handle logistics, thought about a solution for businesses?
It looks like a great service to buy Snapchat Spectacles or Amazon Echo/Google Home 😉
@nazimahat, this is a great idea! Honestly, I had to do a double-take on the title of this launch, haha. Why would I buy something from a country that doesn't ship to me? Then I answered my own question! Congrats :)
love the idea, there are some good options for this kind of thing already available. Just a small question..what prevents me from using a host and then having the host go through my stuff? What kind of assurance / insurance is there that guarantees I will receive what I bought?
Ahh, this is awesome! I recently signed up for Sprint and saved about $200+ in taxes and fees by renting an address in Portland, OR (0% sales tax) vs Houston, TX (~8.25%) and just paid $17 for the express shipping back to me. I will certainly give this a try when I see an Portland address listed. :)
This is very cool, just moved countries and will definitely use this. Just signed up as a host as well. Can't wait to be approved.
Is the product available for all countries? In particular Israel and India? Gonna try it out this week! Good luck!
Great idea! Really excited about this.. I might use the service today.. Will update here how it goes!
This is a very interesting problem, and something I would want to use myself as an American living in Vietnam.
One thing I don't get though is that everyone trying to solve this problem tries to solve it with "gig economy" based network.
Why do it this way? It seems so inefficient and more expensive. It seems to me there are plenty of fulfillment shipping centers that can do this for a fraction of the price, plus the right partnership can give huge volume discounts.
As a user, I don't want to worry about whether or not the host shipper can be trusted, I just want the company to take care of it. I don't care how my package gets here, I just want it to get here cost-effectively.
The best system I can think of from my user perspective, would be a chrome extension that overlays a button on Amazon, which adds products to my shippn "cart". Then I check out with shippn and 1-2 weeks (or less 😃) later my order arrives. How it gets here is not of concern to me as long as it arrives.
Great idea - can't wait to use something like this. Especially as I have seen plenty of firms & launches recently which were US only.
@david_west Thank you David! If you have any questions we will be happy to assist you. :)
