US Parcel Forwarding Helps Snake Chinese New Year Gifts from America

Jan. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- The Year of the Snake is soon to arrive on the 4th of next month, with the Chinese New Year celebration being on the 10th.  Gifts are a happy part of the celebrating, with some of those gifts being ordered online from the United States.  With so many US companies not offering international shipping, how will these gifts get to China for the New Year?

Fortunately, US mail forwarding to China is but one service that companies like My USA Parcel offer.  Although Baidu may not list them.  Also called "parcel forwarding," this service quite simply explained, receives the requesting customer's items and then ships them to his or her address in China.

Another service that mail/parcel forwarding companies like My USA Parcel offer is called "parcel consolidation."  What this service does is take multiple items or packages, then bundles the items into one parcel.  "You can save an amazing amount on shipping by using parcel consolidation - sometimes up to 70% or more depending on the dimensions of the items," says Dezra Guthrie, US Customer Agent for My USA Parcel, an Oregon-based forwarding company.  

A third service that global shoppers may find valuable as well is "assisted purchase."  Guthrie describes this service, "Not everyone has a credit card that is accepted by the American POS (Point of Sales) system.  It can be frustrating to have ample funds in your bank or plenty of credit balance on your credit card, but still not be able to buy the American items you want.  Assisted purchase is a service that allows the customer to transfer cash to us and we buy the items for him or her.  It's really easy and is very affordable.  For items $300.00 and less, the cost is only $25.00."

The three services (parcel forwarding, parcel consolidation and assisted purchase) each play a unique role in support of the same end:  getting the customer the goods he or she wants from America.  And in this case, getting Chinese New Year gifts into the hands of some very soon-to-be happy recipients.

Popular American gift ideas range from Apple iPads, Best Buy electronics, Xbox and Wii game systems, Levis, Nike athletic wear, Kitchenaid kitchen items and Juicy Couture handbags.  The list goes on, even.  Or if you want that special one-of-a kind item, you can always shop through eBay.com or Amazon.com.  

With all the great gifts US mail forwarding to China can get you, no matter what the New Year brings, it's bound to start off right.
