American Clothes Ordered From the Us

Postby Rodry » Wed May 26, 2010 3:27 pm

Hello everybody!

I'm new on the forum and i'd like order some stuff on us websites. I'm now living in geneva and i wanna order some levi's jeans on the official website. However, they're only shipping within the us.

Does anyone got a tip for me? Thank you

Hey rodry you should look at the service shop&ship powered by aramex. It might be your solution, they provide you an us & uk adress to order on the websites and they forward to switzerland.

Well thank you jepget, this service looks interesting. An adress with the usa and uk for only 40 chf for a one lifetime, and an express shipping for 20chf (1 lbs) and tracked.

I'll see if i can order a levi's jeans and get shipped by aramex.

I'll keep you updated.

Funny enough those 2 posts are made from the same IP address... They probably think we are stupid and they are doing "intelligent" hidden advertising for the service of shipping abroad :twisted:

Well that's true, i just wanted to advise my expats mates living in switzerland that here exist a useful service to order in the us.
However on forums, when you publish a link you always get moderated and you can't share any informations you've found.

I've already checked the links you've posted above but they are more expensive than the one powered by aramex, check the shipping rates.

The price difference of clothes between switzerland and the us are around the 40% with a $1 = to 1.10chf, i've bought ralph lauren and tommy hilfiger polos for $49 per unit, here in geneva they cost 159 chf.

Use an expensive service or not ? That's your call. I just wished to get everyone aware.

See ya all

As you can see here, when it's real information posted by expat people, with some explanation (as you did just above), and not disguised ads, we keep it :-)

We take great care of the site and the forums, for visitors to have nice discussions and share opinions. Therefore we moderate drastically all spams and associated messages :evil:
