Online shopping dilemma

Aside from finishing some pending tasks, I stayed up late last night to read up on some new developments about international shipping for some promotional items. I’m not new to e-commerce but living outside the US makes it difficult to order some favorite items when I see them on online stores which require one to have a US credit card or an address in the US. There’s a new service that could solve this dilemma, but reading through the specifics, I am not sold out with their high cost of shipping. Oh well… Just like other online shoppers, I’m crossing my fingers for better shipping services to come up.
