Give the Gift of a Hobby Anywhere in the World this Holiday Season

Oct. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- Bridgeport, CT

The Christmas holidays are celebrated in varying capacities around the world, but shopping lists and exploding budgets are the same.  Between rapid upgrades in technology, kids growing up fast, and the person who has everything, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the right gift.  Every year it’s the same thing; a tie for Dad, a book for Grandpa and a video game for a little brother or sister.  This year the opportunity to expand the horizons of someone special is becoming recognized by an international seller of new and old hobbies, Hobbytron.com.  

Hobbytron.com is an e-tailer that indulges in all types of hobbies.  Their products cater to all ages and varying levels of interest.  There are so many items to choose from.  Hobbytron offers an array of remote control items such as cars, boats, helicopters, and trucks.  Magic, Science, Electronic, and Robot kits sharpen the mind and create a great opportunity to do something fun with someone special.  

Hobbytron has partnered with Bongo International for international parcel forwarding.  Items can now be shipped to over 220 countries.  This is a huge improvement for Canadian customers in particular, “before we had major problems working out the actual cost to ship to Canada.  Sometimes it would be a lot higher than quoted and we would be stuck with the bill if the customer didn’t pay taxes or duties,” states Hobbytron’s Ben Ibarra.  Now, the process is simple.  Set up a US Address with Bongo International, order something from the website and your items are as good as under the tree.  With Hobbytron’s daily deals, ongoing clearance of specific items, and constant additions to the product line, holiday shopping has never been easier.  Bongo’s subscribers have the ability to ship to 5 personal delivery destinations worldwide.      

Many companies large and small are desperately searching for ways to increase 4th quarter revenue for 2009. Business owners want to expand but can't afford any added expenses to their overhead. Justifiably, retailers worry about things such as customs compliance and credit card fraud. BongoUS offers a free service to US retailers and handles all customs requirements, customer service and thoroughly fraud screens applicants before activating their account.

"Our processes are extremely easy to implement. If you can put a hyperlink in your shopping cart, then you can sell to international customers in over 220 countries using BongoUS's service", says Craig Turnbull, President and CEO, of Bongo International.
Bongo International provides an easy transition into international e-commerce for companies based throughout the United States and with varying products.  By utilizing the US Address, a retailer only has to ship their product domestically to Bongo’s warehouse in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
