Coming to America

Online shopping is one giant phenomenon that has come out of the wondrous World Wide Web and chances are, if you know how to use a computer and how to surf the internet, you've bought something online and had it delivered to your home. Problems arise when you try and buy things from foreign websites and people are often devastated to find for example that enormously discounted goods can only be delivered within the United States.

It's a blow, especially for lovers of gadgets and sportswear, both of which are almost guaranteed to come out there first and be available in the UK six months later. Six months later is no good, you'll already have been outdone but some other fashionista or gadget wizard by then!

So is there a way around this if you don't have a kind friend who'll receive a parcel for you and send it on? Of course there is, where there's a niche there's a way as they say and wherever there's demand, you can guarantee that some clever clogs has got it covered. Now you can "rent" an address in America without even viewing it! All this means is when that website tries to stump you by asking for a zip code, you can happily enter an entire US address even if you don't know where it is and you've certainly never been there.

The problem of buying from your favourite American websites is over and now it's time to understand all about taxes, import charges and the like, it's boring unfortunately but it's well worth reading up on if you don't want any nasty surprises when the parcel arrives at your doorstep in the UK. Extra charges can completely defeat the point of buying from America in the first place and with so much information online, there's really no excuse not to be clued up on the situation before you start.

The first thing to remember is that you, the buyer, are ultimately responsible for making sure all VAT and customs duty is paid for any goods to which they apply. No matter how well an internet seller might try to under value a product to duck out of these charges, it's you who must check on the relevant government website what rules, if any, apply. The price you'll pay on top of the purchase price and delivery costs is largely dependent on the value of the product you've bought and what it is so while renting a US address allows you to buy from the States online, it also opens you up to potential pitfalls if you're not aware of your responsibilities when it comes to parcel delivery.

To be able to ship worldwide, you need to find the leading courier companies online to make sure your parcels reach their destination in a safe and secure manner.
