About SkyShop Logistics - USA Shopping Facilitator
SkyShop Logistics, is a shopping facilitator for international online buyers
that enhances the shopping experience from the time of purchase through
cross-border delivery. SkyShop is designed to be the only web address
international shoppers need to be able to realize all of their online purchases
from the United States. GlobalShop's offering includes product pricing
comparison, secure online purchasing and overseas shipping, a landed cost

addresses many of the challenges of online cross-border shopping -- lack of
familiarity with U.S. clothing sizes, expensive express-courier delivery
services, U.S. merchants that do not accept foreign credit cards, lack of an
integrated package return system, unexpected and high fees associated with
customs duties and taxes, and poor parcel post service provided by the national
postal service in their local country. For more information, visit
