Expert: John Hargreaves Date: 10/9/2007 Subject: Want to purchase from UK
Question QUESTION: I want to purchase a dress on the Tommy Hilfiger UK website, but they only ship within UK. Is there any UK company that offers international forwarding and shipping service? I have heard about these companies but not many are shipping from UK. Thank you, Kelly
ANSWER: The only company that I have come across is:
If your order is for a significant amount from Tommy then perhaps consider e-mailing them to ask if they would deliver internationally. If your order is big enough then they should be flexible.
Regards,
Scott.

QUESTION: I am using an international credit card. I know that some websites do not accept payment by international credit cards. Is there any kind of service that can help me purchase things from a website like this or any ways I can solve the problem in my case? Thanks for your suggestions.
Kelly
Answer Ok, I can see how that may be a problem.
Firstly, I would just try to see if the system will accept your card. If not then more and more places are starting to accept PayPal and Google Checkout, both of which you will be fine with.
Alternatively, you could contact customer service and ask if they will accept another form of payment.
It will really depend upon which store you are shopping with and the policy of that particular site.
