And since prices are significantly lower in the USA, many customers use parcel forwarding (package forwarding, freight forwarding) services like Shipito for shipping even to distant countries like Russia, Australia, New Zealand.

My favorite shops shipping to Shipito warehouse in Tualatin, OR


Personally I prefer to use amazon.com more than any other US shop. Not only it is the largest shop in the USA, but also accepts international credit cards, ships to freight/parcel/package forwarders like Shipito, and it is great at refunds. And you don't need to pay sales tax (5-10% in many states) when shipping from Amazon to the no salex tax location in Tualatin, Oregon.

Also I like USA private shopping clubs especially the ones that support international debit and credit cards:

While you may use Assisted Purchases from Shipito or any other service when making purchases in online stores, such services won't work well with lightning fast sales that private shopping clubs offer. So it is really great that private shopping clubs support international cards and ship to freight forwarders (also known as mail forwarders, package forwarders).

And I make many purchases in sports online stores:

What freight/parcel/package forwarders do you use? Do you use Assisted Purchases? What shops do you like and what is your experience with them?

Is it worth purchasing Cybex Pallas 2-Fix car seat and Cybex Topaz baby stroller in German shops like www.kidsroom.de?

I've bought Cybex Pallas 2-Fix car seat and Cybex Topaz baby stroller at KidRoom for 425 EUR:

I was choosing a car seat by the German ADAC tests again:

http://www.adac.de/infotestrat/tests/kindersicherung/kindersitz-test/default.aspx?ComponentId=29903&SourcePageId=31900

Cybex Pallas 2-fix is the safest car seat in the category of 9 to 36 kg (1 to 12 years). I was thinking about getting something less universal, but I wasn't impressed by the results in the category of 9 to 18 kg.

As for the baby stroller, I was choosing between Cybex Topaz, Babywelt Moon Buggy Flac, I'coo Pluto, Hartan Buggy I-go and Maclaren Techno XLR. I'coo Pluto was my second best choice, but I didn't really want to buy any additional accessories. Cybex Topaz 2011 comes with a great sun canopy (unlike older versions of this baby stroller) and with a rain cover. It is not the most lightweight baby stroller, but weights only 7,5 kg. It was a great compromise for me between weight, comfort, functionality and price.

I didn't save much when purchasing in Germany. According to Yandex Market the lowest price for Cybex Pallas 2-Fix and Cybex Topaz is 11'000 + 8'100 = 19'100 RUR. This price may not include shipping.

Yandex Market: Cybex Pallas 2-Fix

Yandex Market: Cybex Topaz

It costed me less then 17'000 RUR when purchasing at KidsRoom. Note that you won't get any warranty in Russia on items purchased in Germany. Also note that purchasing 2 items at KidsRoom instead of just one allowed me to save on shipping.

KidsRoom.de is not the only web-site recommended by Russian shoppers.
There are several other baby shops in Germany that ship to Russia directly and exclude VAT, namely: maxis-babywelt.de, babyshop.de, kidscomfort.eu, Loopoo.de, PingPong Online.

I'm happy with my purchase. Will it be worth for you to buy car seats and baby strollers in Germany from Russia?

It was easy to resolve the problem. I just had to contact support once. I have explained that I was paying with my Russian debit card, but used my Shipito virtual address in Torrance, California for both shipping and billing. I also added that this worked fine in other shops including similar once like the Department Of Goods and Altrec (which is true).

Got my order without any problem. Luckily our ski pants and underwear had come before this year's abnormally freezing temperature affected us. So we've been enjoying them this winter.

Happy shopping!

Get additional discounts in the form of cash back from American online stores

Cash back services get a commission on each sale that is generated. Most shopping-based websites keep that commission for themselves, while cashback services return a good portion of that commission back to customers.

Cash back services are not stores, and they don't sell any products. They are just shopping services that pay you cash back for shopping online. There are no points to redeem, no forms to mail in, and no fees.


  • ExtraBux allows you to get cash back at any of 2,500+ online stores. ExtraBux members get access to thousands of money-saving coupons.

    Once you have earned at least $10 available cash back and made at least one purchase, you can receive a cash back payment via check in the mail or through PayPal. You can also donate your cash back to charity. Payments are typically sent within 5 business days.

     


  • Mr.Rebates allows you to get cash back rebate at over 2000 popular stores like Best Buy, Dell, JCPenney, Nordstrom and more. Besides their staff adds daily money-saving coupons and special sales/price drops on hot products. The combination of the Mr. Rebates cash back rebate plus coupons/sales insures that you will save money on your online purchases. This adds up to big savings every time you shop with Mr. Rebates.

    The program is open to US and Canadian residents for both check and Paypal rebate payments. The program is open to international residents but Paypal is the only payment option for Cash Back Rebates. Cash Back Rebates can be requested once the amount in your "Available Rebates" account equals or exceeds $10.00 US Dollars.

     


  • eBates allows you to get cash back at any of 1,500 stores any time you start your online shopping trip at Ebates. There are no points to redeem, no forms to mail in, and no fees. Stores pay Ebates a sales commission for sending shoppers their way, and Ebates uses the commission to pay you cash back. Members of eBates have already earned more than $100,000,000 and you can join them today!

    Payment is sent every 3 months. If you've earned less than $5.01 cash back, the amount of money will be carried over to the next check. Payment can be received by check or through Paypal. You may also send your cash back to a charity, organization or family member.

How to make purchases on Amazon and other online stores and ship them to APO and FPO military addresses

Shipping a package to an APO (Army/Air Force Post Office - for U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force postal facilities) or FPO (Fleet Post Office - for U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard postal facilities) address is really no different than mailing a regular domestic package. The problem is that some eBay sellers and online stores do not ship to APO/FPO addresses either because of the package carrier they use, or due to software or business process limitations, or due to ignorance. This article covers some of the APO/FPO shipping restrictions, and how to overcome some of them.

Amazon APO/FPO address shipping restrictions


Amazon has the following APO/FPO address shipping restrictions:

Having trouble entering an APO, FPO, or DPO address on our order form? Following these steps should help:

  • City field: Enter "APO,"FPO," or "DPO."

  • State/Province/Region field: Enter the two-letter code for the region where the recipient is stationed. Typically, but not always, the code is "AE" for recipients stationed in Europe, Canada, Africa, or the Middle East; "AA" for recipients stationed in the Americas; and "AP" for recipients stationed in Asia or the Pacific.

  • Country field: Always select "United States" from the drop-down menu regardless of where the recipient is stationed.


Following these steps will ensure that you're charged the correct shipping amount and that your order will be delivered in a timely fashion. All shipments to APO, FPO, DPO addresses are sent via U.S. Priority or First Class Mail. We estimate 5 to 7 business days for delivery once the order has been shipped; however, some destinations may take up to 21 days.

Most items can be shipped to APO, FPO, and DPO addresses, except:

  • cell phones and service

  • computers

  • furniture

  • grocery items

  • outdoor living items

  • Target@Amazon.com items



Amazon shipping restrictions: APO, FPO addresses Additionally, some apparel, baby, camera and photo, electronics, health and personal care, housewares, jewelry, software, sports, and tools and hardware items cannot be shipped to APO, FPO, or DPO addresses. An error message will appear at checkout if you enter an APO, FPO, or DPO address and the item isn't eligible to be shipped to that address. Check the item's product detail page for eligibility.


The only way to get packages to an APO/FPO/DPO address is via the U.S. Postal Service. The package is delivered to the military post office by the USPS, and then shipped overseas through the military postal system. This means that ALL USPS size, weight and content restrictions must be adhered to in order for a package/parcel to be mailed out to an APO/FPO address. In general package can't exceed 70 pounds, be larger than 130 inches when you add the length (the longest side) and the girth, or contain prohibited items (flammables, air conditioners, etc.) You can always break the packages/parcels down into several smaller packages that fall under the weight and size limit. Note that each APO/FPO address has its own specific set of Zip Code Restrictions, these restrictions always supercedes the normal weight limit of 70 pounds and normal size limit of 130 inches (length + girth).

Overcoming geographical restrictions of APO/FPO address shipping restrictions


Some online stores and eBay sellers do not ship APO/FPO addresses. There are several reasons for that:

  • Some eBay sellers and online stores use United Parcel Services (UPS) or Federal Express (FedEx) to ship parcels/packages only, while only USPS can deliver purchases to APO/FPO addresses.

     


    [caption id="attachment_922" align="alignnone" width="630" caption="eBay seller shipping methods: We only ship to the United States. Shipping is via UPS Ground. Please be aware that UPS can NOT ship to P.O. Boxes, APO or FPO addresses. We currently ship inside the United States only and do not offer shipping to international addresses."]eBay seller shipping methods: We only ship to the United States. can NOT ship to P.O. Boxes, APO or FPO addresses[/caption]

     




  • Some sellers just don't know an APO/FPO/DPO address is, or their website software does not allow the Military Mail States AA, AE and AP to be entered.

    [caption id="attachment_919" align="alignnone" width="398" caption="eBay seller shipping methods: Shipping to: United States. Excludes: US Protectorates, APO/FPO"]eBay seller shipping methods: Shipping to United States only. Excludes: US Protectorates, APO/FPO[/caption]



If this is the case, you may

  • Contact the eBay seller or online store and ask to ship to your APO/FPO addresses.

  • Use a parcel/package forwarding service (freight forwarder) like Shipito. By now you know that a package/parcel forwarding service must be able to deliver by USPS (The United States Postal Service).

    Note that some eBay sellers and online stores do not ship to package/parcel forwarding services:

    [caption id="attachment_921" align="alignnone" width="630" caption="eBay seller shipping methods: only ships to addresses in the 50 United States and District of Columbia. does NOT shio to PO Boxes, APO/FPO, Freight Forwarders, Hotels or internationally"]eBay seller shipping methods: only ships to addresses in the 50 United States and District of Columbia[/caption]



Note for online sellers and stores about shipping to APO/FPO addresses


If you are an eBay, online seller, store, you can easily ship to APO/FPO addresses by USPS. This will increase your customer base and sales. And you will be offering a valuable service to those serving the United States of America.

Share you experience on shipping to APO/FPO addresses


Have you ever shipped to APO/FPO addresses? Did you use USPS or any parcel/package forwarding services? Did you have ship any prohibited items by mistake?
