The Best Websites Offering International Shipping

Since my husband is from Northern Ireland I’m regularly mailing gifts to family members overseas. Sometimes I shop at websites that don’t offer international shipping so I have to get the gifts sent to me before I can mail them across the pond. Thankfully there are some great online retailers offering international shipping at affordable rates so I can save myself a step and make sure my gifts arrive to their destination on time.

Computers and Electronics - If you need to ship audio or video equipment, games, movies or gadgets try shopping at Frys.com. Frys quickly ships international orders to almost anywhere in the world within 48-72 hours. USB Geek is another gadget supplier shipping worldwide. Their website even offers estimated shipping times to countries all over the world.

Gifts and Trinkets - If you’re looking for unique gift items and need a website that ships around the world check out ThinkGeek.com. International orders are shipped through DHL or UPS.

Photo Gifts - Photo albums and keepsakes make great gifts. Now you can share them with your Uncle in the United Kingdom or your fiancé in Finland with the help of Keepsy.com. According to the site international orders usually take about 15 business days to arrive. Mixbook.com also offers international shipping, but it takes time. Orders shipped via economy arrive within three to six weeks and could even take as long as 12 weeks if there are customs delays.

Clothing and Accessories - If you’re trying to ship clothing outside of the US, check out RevolveClothing.com where international shipping is free on orders over $100. Orders less than $100 are charged a flat $10 shipping rate. Shopbop.com offers the same free shipping offer on international orders.

Furniture and Décor - West Elm offers lots of information on how to get their products shipped to destinations around the world. Check out their International Shipping landing page to change your currency and destination.

Cosmetics and Spa Items - While some of the most popular sources for makeup and cosmetics in the US don’t ship internationally thankfully BuyMeBeauty.com does. They ship to over 40 countries worldwide. Another website that ships around the world is CherryCulture.com. Their website is very foreign-friendly and includes plenty of information about available destinations, estimated arrival times and shipping fees.
