Danish Online Shoppers Shop Easily From the US, Thanks to Borderlinx and Post Danmark


BRUSSELS, May 11 /PRNewswire/ --

- International e-Commerce Service Lets People Import Goods From the US
as Easily as Buying From Local Web Site and Have Them Delivered to Their Door

Borderlinx, the cross-border e-commerce solution provider, has joined
forces with the Danish postal service, Post Danmark, to make it easy and
cost-effective for people all over Denmark to buy goods easily and
cost-effectively from the US. Borderlinx will handle receipt of goods in the
US and will organise for them to be shipped to Denmark - including dealing
with customs and import issues. Post Danmark will either deliver the goods to
the customer's door, or give them the flexibility to collect them from their
local post office if it's more convenient.

Many US web sites will not accept orders for goods from customers who do
not have a US address - but Borderlinx solves this problem. When people join
Borderlinx via the Post Danmark web site, they receive a US shipping address
that they can use to order directly from US web sites, enabling them to shop
from any site they wish, including auction sites such as eBay. Shoppers can
take advantage of the beneficial Krone/Dollar exchange rate to make savings
and can source desirable items such as electronic goods long before they are
available in Scandinavia.

The new service removes the unpredictability traditionally associated
with importing from the US, as it enables shoppers to calculate a 'fully
landed cost' for their goods, including the shipping from the US to Denmark;
import duty and sales tax. In addition to offering highly competitive
shipping costs, Borderlinx also promotes global brand names such as Sony,
Lego and eBags to offer additional discounts to its members.

David Spottiswood, Chief Executive of Borderlinx explained, "This new
service is opening up a whole new world of shopping, particularly for people
in more remote areas of Denmark who can't easily get to big city stores.
Borderlinx is the only international shopping and shipping solution that lets
consumers calculate a fully-landed cost of their goods before they buy -
including tax and duties. We also give online shoppers the flexibility to
consolidate several purchases into a single shipment, saving them money and
making receiving their goods even more convenient."

Carsten Dalbo Pederson, Deputy Executive at Post Danmark added, "We are
delighted to be working with Borderlinx and this partnership is another step
in building on our already high standards of service to customer. We know
that our customers want to be able to buy goods from all over the world, but
that they want to have them delivered by an organisation that they know and
trust and to have the flexibility to collect them from a convenient local
post office if they can't take delivery at home during the day."
