My best friend, who was living in Germany, move to his new house last week. For sure, I should prepare presents for his housewarming. The problem was that I was not able to bring the presents to his new place as I was living in China. So I was trying to order a present from German online and then ask for the retailer to ship to his door. But finally failure as I couldn't read German at all. Later, I went to English online stores instead of German ones to see if they would allow me to make orders with the destination in Germany. As to what presents were better for my friend's housewarming, I thought it could not be better without cutlery sets.
With a lot of comparison, I found there was an online store, which was based on the US, was specializing in cutlery sets. Henckels Cutlery Set, made in Germany, was good fit for my requirements. In order to make sure the store was able to ship internationally, I review especially its shipping information. Bad answer I got! The store would not like to ship to other countries other than USA and Canada.
I kept searching online to see if there were other online stores which allowed me to make orders with the destination as Germany. The result looked like not good. All of them I met up would either not accept oversea orders, or offer the item with higher price. I continued to search to see if there might be other ways to let the international shipping on the go. With my luck, I met up a US logistics company called Bongo International, which allowed me to request the retailer to ship the cutlery set from the US to Germany by mail forwarding. The concept was I would be provided a US address after setting up account with it. With the address as destination, I was able to make orders from multi US online stores. After the items got to the address based on Bongo's warehouse, I could give a command to it via Internet to ask for forwarding them to my friend's door in Germany.
In fact, mail forwarding service will let the cutlery sets go to not only Germany, but also other countries like Australia, China, France, etc. it means any one in other countries all can make any orders from any US online stores. It's really exciting, isn't it?
