Couponsophy.com First Coupon Website to Offer US & International Online Shopping Tools

June 16, 2011 - PRLog -- LOS ANGELES – Couponsophy.com, a leading coupon codes website, has introduced innovative shopping tools that have never been found on coupon and coupon codes websites before. A user survey conducted by couponsophy.com from April to May revealed that 87% of international shoppers were not familiar with US sales tax laws, common merchant shipping policies, and did not know where to perform currency conversion online. 62% of domestic shoppers were unfamiliar with US online sales tax laws.

Therefore, couponsophy.com has gone the extra mile to help its visitors both from within and from outside the United States understand the basics of online shopping such as shipping costs, sales tax, parcel forwarding, currency conversion and more by compiling a comprehensive index addressing these issues. All these tools can be used at http://couponsophy.com/.

Domestic shoppers, especially those not used to the online way of shopping, are often confused with sales tax rules and how these do or don’t apply to Internet shopping, so couponsophy.com nails it down for them in plain English and with comprehensive, simple-to-understand examples. Couponsophy.com also addresses domestic shipping and offers helpful insights on how online shoppers can reduce their domestic shipping costs or even have them waived.

International shoppers are more of a complicated category, as many are eager to benefit from the good exchange rates of the US dollar and purchase products that are hard to find in their own countries, but they often stumble on problems such as US merchants not shipping abroad and foreign credit cards not being accepted. Couponsophy.com has it all down for them in simple words and examples. Parcel forwarding companies and their policies are explained, there are realistic comparisons between using such companies and having goods shipped directly from the merchant, and the use of Paypal as an international transaction tool is made clear. And because international buyers understandably want to know how much they can expect to pay in their own currency when buying something in US dollars, couponsophy.com has also offers an easy-to-use currency converter tool that updates daily and features the 50 most widely used currencies around the world.

“Here at couponsophy.com we are committed to providing our visitors with a smooth and pleasant overall online shopping experience” explains Christina Weber, Co-Owner of the website. “We feature coupon codes and promotions that help people save money on their online purchases but we also want them to know their options, their rights and the real benefits from shopping online. This is why we’ve gone the extra mile and developed these tools for domestic and international shoppers, because we genuinely believe that our visitors should know what to expect when shopping off the Internet and we know that in today’s online world, there’s not a problem without a solution. This is more than what most coupon codes websites care to do, which is why we take pride in being different and offering our online visitors the customer care they deserve”, Weber concludes.
