Tune Into Buyers’ Preferences

Extraordinarily high international shipping rates — or a company's insistence on requiring a U.S. shipping address — can obviously hinder online sales in a BRIC country. Shipper Aramex has a creative solution: a “Shop and Ship” service, which provides its customers with a local address in the U.S., U.K. or China. The purchased items are delivered to Aramex's local address, then shipped by Aramex to the customer wherever in the world they reside.
