HopShopGo!

Have you ever...
seen something on an online US website that you wanted to buy
but you can't,
just because you do not have a US credit card, OR
it just don't offer worldwide shipping?!

Well,
let me introduce you to
Hop.Shop.Go!
It's a service provide to you from Comgateway Pte Ltd and PayPal.
It's easy and simple,
all you need is a PayPal account :)

This is how it works.
STEP ONE
Get a PayPal account and sign in through
www.hopshopgo.com

you will then get a FREE US address and a US phone number.
and you're now ready to shop on any of the 300,000+ US websites ;)


STEP TWO
There are 2 ways to shop.
Both options will ship your items to your US address.

1. Ship it for me
This option is available for you if you are able to purchase the item by yourself,
meaning if the seller accepts PayPal or the credit card you are using.
However,
IF they do not offer international
shipping OR
you may have multiple items from multiple websites with separate shipping cost that's going to cost you a bomb.

You could use this option,
and get them to send it to your US address.
(and normally, US offers free shipping to US :))

2. Buy it for me
This option is available for you if you are UNable to purchase the item yourself,
as most US online store purchases requires a US credit card.
or a MAJOR US credit card.

then all you have to do is to use this option provided by them to
order through them
so they'll buy it for you!

*however, note that they'll charge 7% for this service provided

after you're done shopping,
just wait for your purchases to reach your US address,
once reached, they'll inform you through email.
titling
"your package has arrive at your US address"


STEP THREE
after your package arrive,
you have 30 days before you decide to ship the items to you,
or to wait for other items to arrive to do combine shipping.

there's also a repacking option,
to repack your items into smaller packages if your items are not too fragile.
only with a nominal fee charge.
and saves a lot on your shipping cost.


Currently,
There's a promotion going on whereby,
you'll get the FIRST 2kg shipping for FREE!
however,
this is only available for the first 1000 registered users of HopShopGo
who make a purchase AND pay for the purchase with PayPal.

How to know if you're still the one of the First 1000..
1. when you're in hopshopgo.com, you'll see

just type in the web address which you want to shop at
click "Hop Now"

2. a window will pop up whereby you will click "Shop Now"
to start shopping at the website.

BUT
before clicking "shop now"
on the most right hand top corner,
you'll see this
and yup! there's still 800+ more to go :)
hurry up!
(it's dropping quite fast)

this promotion will end on 30th September 2010 or when 1000 free 2kg shipping waivers have been given. Whichever earlier!

***
My Experience!
recently i bought something through eBay which do not offer international shipping
just because the brand do not allow items shipped internationally.
hence i used the Ship for Me option.

since i had nothing else to buy,
i got them to ship it straight to me after receiving it.
they took about 2 business days to ship the item to me through DHL.
it reached me within 4 days after they shipped to me.
DHL is super efficient :)
had a great experience that's why i'm sharing this with you guys! :)
don't miss the opportunity.
i saved so much not having to pay extra few hundred bucks buying in Malaysia!

i'm now trying their Buy for Me option and will let you all know about the service soon ;)

ttfn :)

Hey, when you ship via HopShoGo did they ask you for merchant invoice number? What is that? There's only transaction ID in my PayPal receipt.
Thanks

If you log back into your account of where you shop you should see your purchase history and there you should find you invoice number?
