Where to buy artificial wisteria flowers

Flowers have always been a home decorating staple. A vase of roses, for instance, instantly livens an otherwise lifeless room. Some owners prefer to use fresh flowers, but that could be expensive. The cheaper alternative would be getting artificial ones.

The most popular type of artificial flowers is those like long-stemmed roses that could be easily arranged in a vase. Today, however, the vine types are gaining traction among decorators but they can only be found in a few stores. Over at Amazon, a number of sellers are offering a wide variety of artificial flowers, including vine types like wisteria and small-petaled ones such as lavender. The wisteria is particularly popular among Amazon reviewers who appreciate its lifelikeness.

So if you want to bring some life into your home by “growing” a garden in it, or decorating the reception venue of a wedding, head over to Amazon where you’ll find artificial flowers of every shape and make. Shipping them overseas, if you’re a non-US resident, has become easier, too. Although most Amazon sellers don’t ship internationally (If you’re from Singapore, they can’t do a direct Amazon-to-Singapore shipping) you can ask a parcel forwarder to ship your purchases for you from the US to your home country. A parcel forwarder usually works this way: when you sign up, it provides you with a free US address. Since you can’t use your actual address when you shop at a US-based store like Amazon, you then use this address instead. This is actually the parcel forwarder’s warehouse in the US, where the store would deliver your purchases to. Then the parcel forwarder would ship them to your doorstep overseas. Know how to get a free US address from comGateway here.

ComGateway is one such parcel forwarder. It’s been in the business for 11 years and ships to around 220 countries. In terms of shipping costs, comGateway’s rates are competitive. It has an international shipping calculator that customers can use to get an estimate of their shipping cost.

Another thing about comGateway that most customers appreciate is its repacking service. If you’re buying a number of items, comGateway can repack them for you in a way that they don’t take up much space and incur high shipping cost. In a multiple repack, as comGateway calls this service, the items are taken out of their original packaging and transferred into less bulky polybags. If the boxes your items would allow, they’re cut to become smaller. Then all repacked items are shipped in a single box.

Gift the special man in your life with a beard bib

Amazon has released its gift guides for Christmas, including that one for men. The For Him guide includes an item which many shoppers wouldn’t be sure how to react at. It’s a beard bib, which looks so strange it could prompt laughter.

As its name suggests, the beard bib is an oversized nylon bib similar to that used in barbershops, except that the user can attach one end to the bathroom mirror to catch beard clippings. The result looks like a hammock hangs between the user and the mirror, so it’s hard not to laugh.

Weird design aside, the beard bib will save you from the tedious task of sweeping beard clippings off furniture and floor. If you’re sporting a beard or a special man in your life is, this may even become an indispensable tool in your/his regimen.

How do you get one now when Amazon doesn’t ship internationally (Nope, Amazon doesn’t do direct Amazon-to-Singapore shipping). The answer: Go get a parcel forwarder.

Parcel forwarders are businesses which can help you ship an item bought from the US to your home country. A parcel forwarder like comGateway will provide you with free US address. You then use this address to shop: when you’re being asked to provide a shipping address at checkout, give this address.

This address is actually the parcel forwarder’s warehouse in the US. ComGateway’s warehouse, for instance, is in Portland, Oregon. It is where US merchants send your purchases, from which the parcel forwarder would ship your purchases whichever country you may be from.

Parcel forwarder’s fees vary depending on the country of destination. ComGateway has an international shipping calculator in its web site which  customers can use to estimate their shipping fees.

Many shoppers, when buying from the US, buy lots of items, from different merchants. ComGateway offers a service to make shipping your many items less expensive: Multiple repack. With multiple repack, comGateways makes your shipment lighter by removing your items’ original bulky packaging and transferring them to lighter polybags. Then all repacked items are placed inside and shipped in a single box. This way is way less costlier than when you ship your items in their original packaging, one by one.

Have a fan-tentacle Halloween

Thinking of tricks to play on your guests this Halloween but want to go beyond ghoul masks and fake severed body parts? Consider those mugs by seller CashCo1000, Inc at Amazon. They’re sculptured ceramic mugs designed to look like a rattlesnake and an octopus. Serve hot chocolate in them and they’re sure to be a hit among your guests.

Having been included in Amazon’s Interesting Finds section, they’re expected to be best-sellers soon. So buy your own now while they’re still in stock. If you’re from outside the US, sign up with a parcel forwarder to get your free US address Amazon can ship your mugs to.  (Know the sign-up process here) Note that the mugs’ sellers don’t ship directly to Singapore so a direct Amazon-to-Singapore shipping isn’t possible. comGateway’s warehouse is in Portland, Oregon where they don’t impose a sales tax so you won’t be charged for one.

At the comGateway website, there’s an international shipping calculator you can use to estimate how much shipping your mugs would cost. One great feature of the calculator is the table of common products and their weights. They include the products’ pictures, so you have a better idea of how much space a particular product of a certain weight would occupy. It’s a handy tool especially for the visual types. Make use of the calculator to avoid unwanted surprises when the parcel forwarder sends you your bill, e.g. your shipping costs being more expensive than the items you bought

Besides getting a good estimate, there are other ways you can keep your shipping costs within budget. ComGateway offers a service called “multiple repack” where it repacks you items to get rid of bulky packaging or cut its box smaller, to bring down the shipping costs. The items are removed from their original packaging and transferred into lighter polybag. If an item comes in a box, the box can be cut smaller so it occupies less space.

How businesses and parcel forwarders can be partners

As your business grows, you would find yourself in a situation where the raw material or equipment you need isn’t available in your home country. In this case, you would have to source the items you need overseas. For many Singaporean businesses, the US is the most frequent destination, and this is in no small part due to parcel forwarders.

The growth of online shopping in Asia is partly driven by the advent of parcel forwarders, companies that help shoppers buy things from the US and Europe. Often, US- or Europe-based merchants do not ship internationally, leaving many shoppers from Asia frustrated. For instance, Amazon US ships only within the US. So to do an Amazon-to-Singapore shipping, a shopper has to get the services of a parcel forwarder.

What parcel forwarders do is provide these shoppers with a US or European address that they can put in the checkout form. This address is actually the parcel forwarder’s warehouse in the US or Europe. For instance, comGateway, an 11-year-old parcel forwarder, runs a warehouse in Portland, Oregon. From this warehouse, shoppers’ purchases are shipped to their respective home countries. Shipping fee varies depending on the country. For Singapore, a parcel is charged US$11.80 on the first half kilogram and $3.25 for each of the succeeding half kilograms. To estimate your shipping fees, you may use the international shipping calculator in comGateway’s web site.

Parcel forwarders not only make international shipping easier for non-US resident shoppers, they also make it cheaper. One of the reasons why shipping online purchases internationally can be expensive is that items are shipped individually from their respective merchants. ComGateway helps shoppers bring down the cost of shipping through a service called multiple-repack, or by repacking items and consolidating them.

Because packaging adds on the package’s weight, comGateway, when it repacks items, removes them from their original packaging and transfers them to lighter polybags. If possible, the box an item comes in is cut to make it smaller. Then all repacked items are consolidated or put together in one box. Shipping all your items in one box is significantly cheaper than when you ship your items one by one as you have to pay for the first half kilogram as many times.

How to source items for your business from the US

Starting your own business? Set yourself from the competition by offering unique goods and services. Consider sourcing your products and tools from overseas, such as in the US.

For instance, a friend just recently started out as a makeup artist. Shopping for makeup in local department stores, she was frustrated with the limited selection of makeup products available. Now she’s buying most of her makeup online from Sephora and Amazon.

Take note, she doesn’t have a relative in the US who could receive the items on her behalf. She instead ships her items through a parcel forwarder, comGateway. comGateway keeps a warehouse in Portland, Oregon, so when my friend goes online shopping, she provides the warehouse’s address at checkout. The merchant then delivers her purchases to the warehouse. From the warehouse, comGateway ships her items to her doorstep in Singapore. Most sellers in Amazon don’t ship internationally, but thanks to parcel forwarders, Amazon-to-Singapore shipping is now possible.

To save on shipping costs, my friend buys everything in one go. There’s a significant difference between shipping all your, say, five items at once and shipping them one by one when it comes to shipping costs. Shipping fees are usually based on a per-half-kilogram rate, with the first half kilogram charged higher than the next half kilograms. For instance, in comGateway, the rate for Singapore-bound packages is $11.80 for the first half kilogram and $3.25 for each succeeding half kilogram. So when you ship all your items in one box, you’re paying only for the first half kilogram once; while when you ship them one by one, you pay for the first half kilogram of each of your five packages. comGateway has an international shipping calculator in its website you can use to estimate your shipping costs.

But how do you put together all your items in one box when you’re buying from different stores? comGateway offers a service called multiple repack. Not only do they consolidate your items as a single package, they can also repack your items so they weigh less. When  you’re items are repacked, they’re removed from their original packaging and transferred to lighter polybags. Sometimes, if your item’s box would allow it, it is cut to become smaller. Of course, comGateway won’t repack your items if doing so would damage them or you just want to keep the pretty packaging.

The Ber months: the best time to shop in the US

The Ber months – September through December – are, hands down, the best time to do your online shopping in the U.S. Sales are held everywhere, with stores offering huge discounts on everything from clothing to electronics. It would be a shame to pass up this chance to go on a U.S shopping spree.

But while shopping at US online stores has become way easier for people living outside the country -- Amazon-to-Singapore shipping is now possible, thanks to parcel forwarders -- many are still held back by the cost of shipping. Many find themselves having to pay for a shipping bill that is far higher than the cost of their bought goods. One reason is that products can come in bulky packaging and add on your shipping cost.

Fortunately, parcel forwarders offer repacking services. For instance, comGateway offers a value-added service called “multiple repack”. Those who buy lots in the US will particularly benefit from this service. In multiple repack, comGateway takes the items out of their original packaging then transfers them into lighter polybags.

If the box’s size would allow, it is cut to make it smaller. Then all repacked items are shipped to the customer in a single big box. Having your items multiple-repacked saves you more money than when you ship your items one by one. This is because the first half kilogram of an item is charged much higher than the next half kilograms. For Singapore, the first half kilogram cost US$11.80 while the succeeding half kilograms are priced at $3.25 each. So when you ship all your items in a single box, you pay only for the first half kilogram once, while when you ship your items one by one, you pay for it as many as the number of your packages. To estimate your shipping costs, you may use the international shipping calculator in comGateway’s web site.

Multiple repack: little-known trick to save on shipping costs

One of the things that keep people from shopping online, especially in stores based in the US, is the shipping cost. It’s common to hear complaints about shipping costs almost equal – sometimes, even higher – than the actual product’s price. Shipping, however, need not always break your bank. Parcel forwarders like comGateway offer value-added services that allow you to lower your bill.

For those buying items from different stores, the usual way is to ship each item one-by-one. Since most parcel forwarders charge a larger amount for the package’s first half kilogram than the second and next half kilograms, such arrangement can be expensive as you pay for the first half kilogram for several times. For instance, at comGateway, Amazon-to-Singapore shipping can cost you $ 11.80 on the first half kilogram, and $4 for the next half kilograms. (You can see the respective rates for each country when you use comGateway’s international shipping calculator at its web site) Multiply this rate by several times if you’re also buying from Gap, J.Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren. How about shipping many items but paying only for the half kilogram only once?

With comGateway, that’s possible. The parcel forwarder offers a service called multiple repack where customers can ask to have their purchases put together in one single box. ComGateway will remove the items from their individual packaging, put them in polybags, then ship them all together to as a single parcel. If you’ve been shopping online in the US but haven’t tried multiple repack, do so in your next shopping spree. You’ll be happy to see how much you’ll be able to save on shipping.

3 Online shopping tricks to learn for the holiday sales

It’s already September, and stores are beginning to hold sales. They have started with the Labor Day Weekend and will continue until the Black Friday sale in November. If any shopper knows, the sheer volume of goods offered at discount can be overwhelming. If you aren’t savvy enough, you could end up spending more than you should. So it’s best to learn a few online shopping tips and tricks to make most out of your shopping.

1. You can shop directly at U.S. stores.  Since an Amazon-to-Singapore shipping is not possible yet, many non-US resident shoppers who want to get something from U.S.-based retailers turn to spree organizers, or those who goes on a shopping spree, buying items in others’ behalf. Skip the spree organizers and go to a parcel forwarder instead.  Parcel forwarders make it possible for everyone to shop at U.S based online stores by providing overseas shoppers with a U.S address.  Some, like comGateway, provide the address for free, while others ask for a subscription fee. Because most US retailers like Amazon ship only within the continental U.S., this U.S. address is where Amazon -- or other stores – deliver the shoppers’ purchases. The address is usually the parcel forwarder’s warehouse in the U.S., where purchases are delivered and received; and then shipped to their owners’ homes overseas. For shipping, comGateway charges by the half kilogram. The first half kilogram costs the most, and varies per country; while the next half kilograms are priced at $4 each. For Singapore, the first half kilogram costs US$11.80. ComGateway keeps an international shipping calculator in its web site customer can use to estimate their shipping bills.

2. Shop for many but ship for the price of one. When you’re shipping your purchases through a parcel forwarder, you can ask the company to do a multiple repack. A multiple repack is a service where your items are repacked and placed in less bulkier packaging then combined in a single box. This is particularly beneficial to those buying lots of things. Those who have their items “multiple-repacked” see their shipping fees significantly reduced.

3. Take advantage of the promos. Parcel forwarders often partner with other brands, i.e. banks, payment services, for promos. For instance, comGateway is currently running a Visa promotion that offers a  $10 dollar discount on shipping for users of the payment method Visa Checkout.

Pretty and functional organizers sold at Amazon

If you like to keep your things in order and loves a minimalist aesthetic, check out the Yamazaki organizing containers and racks over at Amazon. On top of staples like boxes and wire baskets, the line from the Japanese homeware brand also includes those you never knew existed, i.e. tower and lid stand. I particularly love the plain white caddy with wooden handle for its multifunctionality as well as its decorative quality.

One-of-a-kind items like these Yamazaki organizers abound in Amazon, and it would be a pity if you wouldn’t get one for yourself. Most Amazon sellers don’t ship internationally, or don’t deliver purchases by shoppers from outside the U.S. However, thanks to parcel forwarders, Amazon-to-Singapore shipping is now possible.

Parcel forwarders work this way: When you want to buy something from an online merchant but the merchant can’t ship to your country, you can sign up at a parcel forwarder, i.e. comGateway, to get a U.S. address, free of charge. You then use this address as your shipping address – the address where the merchant is supposed to send your purchases.

This address actually refers to the parcel forwarder’s warehouse, where customer’s purchases are collected. After receiving your purchases on your behalf, the parcel forwarder then ships them to your actual address overseas.

Parcel forwarders usually charge shipping fees based on half kilograms, where a package’s first half kilogram is charged a higher fee than the next half kilograms. For instance, for Singapore-bound packages, comGateway charges US11.80 dollars on the first 500 grams, while the next 500 grams costs $4 each. ComGateway keeps an international shipping calculator at its web site which customers can use to estimate their shipping fees.

Another perk of shipping through a parcel forwarder is you can put all your purchases in one box, saving you lots on shipping fee. ComGateway calls this service “multiple repack” where your packages are removed from their original packaging and transferred to less bulkier containers then consolidated in one box.

Besides repacking purchases, parcel forwarders help customers save by running promo offering discounts. For instance, comGateway is currently holding a Visa promotion where users of the payment service Visa Checkout are given a $10 discount on shipping.

Why you should ship with parcel forwarder when you shop online

The excitement over Amazon’s expansion to Singapore since shopping at Amazon’s U.S.-based site is virtually impossible for Singaporeans as the online store and many others like it does not ship internationally. The e-commerce’s Singaporean branch is expected to resolve that woe. When shopping at U.S.-based retailers, many Singaporeans get to do so by borrow a stateside relatives’ address and use it as their shipping address.

But this is not the only way that an Amazon-to-Singapore shipping can happen. Instead of a relative living in the U.S., you can turn to a parcel forwarder to provide you with a U.S. address. This address – usually the parcel forwarder’s warehouse in the US – is where the merchant would then send the package containing your purchase. Then the parcel forwarder ships it to your doorstep in your home country.

For fees, parcel forwarders charge higher at the first 500g, while the next 500g are charged lower. For instance, at comGateway, which is already a household name in Singapore, packages bound to Singapore are charged $11.80 for the first 500g and $4 for each next 500g. An international shipping calculator at its web site can be used by customers to know the flat rates for shipping to their respective countries and estimate shipping costs.

Another advantage of getting the services of a parcel forwarder is that it can repack your packages. comGateway offers its customers a service called multiple repack, where it removes items from their original packaging, places them into less bulky containers, then puts all repacked items into a single box. This saves customers a lot as shipping every item as individual shipments can be too costly.

The promotions are another way customers of parcel forwarders can cut costs. comGateway regularly come up with promotions that offer big discounts. For instance, it is running a Visa promotion where users of the payment service Visa Checkout are given $10 discounts on shipping.

Parcel-forwarders, promos make U.S. online shopping easy for Singaporeans

Although Amazon Prime has opened a branch in Singapore, some Singaporeans would still want to shop at its U.S.-based online store. For one, the Singaporean outlet offers only groceries and other small consumer goods. So for clothes, shoes, books, gadgets and other items, Amazon U.S. remains the choice for many.

A challenge for many of Amazon’s customers in Singapore is shipping. Amazon U.S. ships only  within the U.S. So unless you have access to a U.S. address – i.e. your stateside relatives – Amazon can’t ship your items to you.

Thanks to parcel-forwarders, Amazon-to-Singapore shipping is now possible. What parcel forwarders do is give you a U.S. address you can use when you shop online. Merchants then send your purchases to this address, which is actually the parcel forwarder’s warehouse in the U.S. From the warehouse, the parcel forwarder then ships your purchases to your doorstep.

Parcel forwarders shipping rates are usually based on your package’s first half kilogram.  At comGateway, the first half kilogram for Singapore-bound packages costs $11.80, while each next half kilogram is priced at $4. The company keeps an international shipping calculator in its web site; you can use it to estimate your shipping costs.

Another thing to look forward to with parcel-forwarders are the promotions. Usually, they partner with another brand and offer huge discounts to users of the brand. For instance, comGateway today is running a Visa promotion where Singaporeans who are also users of the payment service Visa Checkout are given a $10 discount on shipping. This is a lot, considering the first half kilogram for Singapore-bound packages costs $11.80.

Visa promotion at comGateway offers $10 discount

A recent online purchase has just arrived in the mail, a brown tote bag from an Amazon seller. I love how the bag can have virtually no ornament and still look very elegant. What it lacks in decoration it more than makes up with functionality: it’s so roomy my 12-inch tablet can fit inside. It also has an adjustable strap I can use on days when I feel like slinging the bag from my shoulder.

People often ask me where I buy all my pretty stuff. When I say it’s Amazon, Sephora, or any other U.S online retailer, it’s always met with surprise. As far as they’re concerned, shopping online at U.S. stores can be difficult for those living outside the U.S. Most shops don’t ship overseas, so unless you have a relative or friend living in the U.S. who can lend you her address, Amazon-to-Singapore shipping is practically impossible.

It’s true, Amazon and most other online retailers based in the US ship only within the continental US but there’s a get-around for that. You can have a parcel forwarder receive your online purchase in your name. Parcel forwarders keep warehouses in the US; they provide these addresses to their customers as the addresses they can indicate at checkout. From the warehouse, a parcel forwarder then ships your package to Singapore, or to wherever you’re from.

The parcel forwarder which has been receiving my purchases for me in the US and shipping them to me in Singapore is comGateway. ComGateway has been around for quite a while and is well-known in Singapore. Its rates are reasonable, and it has all these options that help customers save on shipping fees, i.e. package consolidation, 60-day free storage, etc. At its web site is an international shipping calculator for customers who want to have an estimate of their shipping costs before they actually ship their packages.

ComGateway also frequently comes up with promos that offers big discounts. Right now, it’s a Visa promotion: Users of Visa Checkout – Visa’s answer to PayPal -- get a $10 discount on shipping with comGateway.

Visa promotion at comGateway gives customers $10 discount

If you’re a Visa Checkout user, you might want to look into the new Visa promotion at comGateway. For the uninitiated, comGateway is parcel forwarding company. If you want to buy something from a U.S. based merchant but doesn’t have a U.S. address, comGateway will provide you with one – its warehouse in Portland, USA. You can use this address when shopping online. ComGateway will then send your packages to Australia from the US warehouse.

So comGateway regularly partners with other brands for promotion. The latest is with the online payment service Visa Checkout. Users of this service who will ship with comGateway will get a $10 discount on their  shipping fee. That’s a lot, considering that the standard rate for Australia-bound packages is $24 on the first 500g and $4 on the next 500g. Let’s say you’re buying a 500g item, you will pay only half of the normal rate for shipping. ComGateway has an international shipping calculator in its website customers can use to estimate their shipping costs.

ComGateway’s aren’t the cheapest US to Australia shipping rates, but it offers many options to save. When you’re shopping across different merchants, you can ask comGateway to put them all in one box and ship them as a single shipment. Also, you don’t have to ship your items right away. The Portland warehouse can keep your items for up to 60 days, so you can do your online shopping within those days and ship your purchases only when they’re complete.

Avoid Australia Tax. Shop in the US via parcel forwarders

Like many Australians today, I buy directly from the U.S. where goods, especially clothing, are priced significantly lower than those sold locally. Australians who shop in the US usually have two options: have spree organizers buy the item for you or buy directly at the U.S online store and have a parcel forwarder send the package to Australia from the U.S.

I choose the latter as it gives me more flexibility. The parcel forwarder I go with, comGateway, provides me with a free U.S. address.  Since most American online stores do not ship internationally, this is the shipping address I indicate at checkout and where my purchases are sent to by online retailers. From the warehouse, comGateway ships to my home here in Australia.

One thing I like about shipping with comGateway is the package consolidation option.  I can buy from across online stores and ask comGateway to put them all in one box. This way, I save a lot since I pay only for a single shipment.

ComGateway also offers the cheapest US-to-Australia rates a flat rate of $24 for the first 500g for Standard delivery, and $4 for the next 500g. Fuel surcharge is usually between 11 to 12% of shipping cost, while the delivery time for Standard plan is 5 to 8 days. So to Australians who want to shop in the U.S. minus the headache, I recommend comGateway.

Keep calm and ship packages from the US to Australia

In spite of the fact that I've done web based shopping ordinarily some time recently, it wasn't just a month prior that I had a go at purchasing something from a U.S.- based online store, a Polo shirtdress from Ralph Lauren. All the previous buys I've made have been with Australian businesses. In any case, in the same way as other Aussies today, I've seen that numerous products, particularly garments, can be less expensive when you get them coordinate from the U.S.

Be that as it may, there's an issue numerous Australians frequently manage when shopping at US online retailers: these businesses don't transport internationally. The few that do dispatch, transport just to choose nations (Canada, Puerto Rico, and so forth.). Not all Australians has a relative living in America who could loan them their address, either. So I made a few inquiries how to determine this, and my companions had just a single thing to state: Use a package forwarder.

Since it's my first time to shop abroad, I for all intents and purposes now next nothing with regards to package forwarders. I must concede that I was bit produced when I marked with comGateway, the package forwarder I picked in view of companions' suggestions. That is to say, yes, connecting with the administrations of these organizations is normal among Australians customers to send packages to Australia from the US now however frightfulness stories about them likewise flourish (shrouded charges, missing packages, and so forth.). So I put aside whatever uncertainty I have as a main priority and go ahead with (It's just a dress, for chrissake).

Long story short, it was a decent involvement with a comGateway. In spite of the fact that comGateway's rates aren't the cheapest US-to-Australia shipping rates, I didn't feel I was cheated for my 0.5 - kilogram dress. It helped that comGateway has an international shipping calculator I used to assess the shipping cost. I picked Expedited service so my bundle landed in Australia four days after I gave comGateway the go flag to deliver. Much appreciated, comGateway, for making US internet shopping less frightening for me.
