International Direct from Amazon
6 October 2006Amazon has introduced an interesting and very useful service for customers of their online store called International Direct
International Direct offers Amazon customers a unique service: providing duty and tax estimation during checkout and customs clearance by the courier on your behalf. Your order arrives at your door without surprise duty charges. International Direct is also a great way to send gifts overseas. International Direct currently provides service to the following countries: Australia, Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand and United Arab Emirates.
Online orders can sometimes lead to nasty surprises for international customers when they find their great deal is only a small part of the overall cost. This service should help to eliminate the shock and ease international shipping.
