BEIJING, Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Credit Card Holders in regions such as mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore will be able to start enjoying European shopping without going abroad now that Net-The-Globe.com has announced its online launch.
For a very long time, citizens from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore have been restricted by overseas online shopping for reasons including non-international credit cards not being accepted by overseas merchants and unavailable or too-expensive overseas delivery. Further issues are long delivery cycles, lack of shopping security and poor after-sale customer service. In answer to these disadvantages, allying with PayPal, international express delivery giant TNT and millions of British and European online merchants, NET-THE-GLOBE.COM has developed a unique cross-border online shopping platform.
NET-THE-GLOBE.COM offers two services: "BuyForMe" and "DeliveryForMe". When merchants are not accepting international credit cards or when international delivery is not offered, members can choose "BuyForMe" whereby NET-THE-GLOBE.COM will purchase the goods and deliver them to the member's chosen address. When international credit cards are accepted but merchants provide no international delivery, members can choose "DeliveryForMe" to instruct NET-THE-GLOBE.COM to deliver the goods to member's chosen address. NET-THE-GLOBE.COM provides every member with a unique UK address when they register free online so that merchants can deliver to a UK address.
Customers are able to access all British and European online shopping websites on NET-THE-GLOBE.COM, from which members can purchase products not yet available in Asia. They will be able to take advantage of any merchant's promotions in the first instance, enjoy competitive international rates and secure international delivery provided exclusively by TNT for NET-THE-GLOBE.COM.
NET-THE-GLOBE.COM is based in London, UK and founder Lin Johnson says: "Many International brands launch their latest products or lines in Europe first or they adopt different price strategies around the world, with European prices often being the most competitive. Our website sets up an overseas shopping platform so that Asian customers can enjoy International shopping anytime without going abroad. Also, customers will be able to use their local currency to purchase products not available in their country or to buy a product at the best price. Product categories vary from apparel, home, cosmetics, entertainment, electronics and many others. Our 15-day free storage will allow our members buy different items from multiple merchants and consolidate parcels to achieve maximum savings on international shipping costs."
There are millions of renowned British and European online merchants under NET-THE-GLOBE.COM's platform including many International brands' official websites like Burberry, Emporio Armani, D&G, Dior, Louis Vitton, Hugo Boss, Prada as well as well-known merchants such as Net-a-porter.com, Amazon.co.uk, ASOS.com, Harrods, Liberty, Harvey Nichols, Marks & Spencer and many more.
Martin Reed, national fulfilment services manager of UK TNT express says: "We are very pleased to work with NET-THE-GLOBE.COM to provide the possibility and convenience of European shopping for Asian customers. TNT is one of the leading international express delivery providers and has a highly efficient network in Asia. We are confident that NET-THE-GLOBE.COM's customers will receive timely and reliable international delivery services."
