PROMOTIONAL FEATURE
From Wherever!
Shopping in Singapore, whether offline or
online, is plentiful, but sometimes it’s just not
enough. You can’t always get your hands on
the latest smartphone or tablet, that brand of
jeans that fits you perfectly, or that discounted
handbag. You’ve tried to purchase from online
stores back home but, sadly, most don’t offer
shipping to Singapore. So, what then?
New freight-forwarding company Borderlinx.com has
the solution. The principle is simple: sign up and get free
personal shipping addresses in the US and the UK, which
enable you to purchase from any website that delivers
to those countries.
Your new address lets you shop at stores such as
Target, Harvey Nichols or Macy’s, Apple or BestBuy –
just as if you lived there. Simply enter in your new US
or UK address as the shipping address at the online
checkout, and Borderlinx.com will handle the shipment
to Singapore for you.
Borderlinx.com also has multiple means of saving you
money on shipping fees. For one, you can consolidate
your shipments into one delivery. All you need to do is
wait for your shopping to arrive at their hub (you’ll receive
a notification), and then ship everything home in one go.
They also offer 30 days of free storage, so you’ll have
plenty of time to buy. If your type of credit card is not
accepted, the Concierge Shopping Service can buy the
item for you upfront for a small fee.
Borderlinx.com will also repackage most boxes to
reduce their volumetric weight – an international shipping
standard that estimates the weight and space a parcel
takes up in a plane. By reducing the size of the box, it
can save you up to 25 percent on your shipping fees.
Borderlinx.com also pays all taxes and duties up
front, and looks after all customs paperwork for you.
A few days after your shipment is released, you’ll
receive your parcels at your address in Singapore
as if you’d shopped locally.
So, what are you waiting for? You can now
purchase that new product as soon as it hits the
shelves, or benefit from the 60-percent discount
promotion that your favourite US store is having
this week. And for that designer handbag you’ve
been eyeing, you can visit oneworldavenue.
com, Borderlinx.com’s luxury handbag and
accessories service.
Borderlinx.com is offering a special 25-percent
discount on shipping fees if you ship before the end
of January. Just use promo code SHIPIT25*.
