companies that do not ship direct to international addresses or those that
do not accept international forms of payment (see Personal Shopper Option
below)

advantage of GetFeetWet Navigation, inc low FEDEX international

more huge savings by consolidating your purchases into a shipment. For
example, to ship multiple items having the same weight, here are the rate
comparisons:
