Shipping Computer Products International and Over Seas
|

|
When you receive the product from the distributor, then you will have to attach 3 of your own invoices on the top of the package for the customs agency. (2 invoices for customs and 1 invoice for the customer).
Then make sure the “ship to” address is spelled out and filled in correctly in order to avoid shipping the product to the wrong place over seas. Because when it comes to shipping products internationally, you can not afford to make mistakes. |
Then you can either call FedEx or UPS to come pick up the package at your location or you can drop off the package yourself at your local FedEx or UPS shipping location. Once the international customer receives the package then they will have to pay duties (taxes) on the product according to the rate of their customs agency office. (This can also be calculated before hand online).
If you allow the distributor to ship the products to your international customers then the distributor will add 3 copies of their own invoices with the true cost of the product which will allow your customers to see your pricing as well. This will cause the customer to become confused and possibly discouraged when they see how little you paid for the product compared to what they paid for that same product.
Therefore, in order to have a smooth transaction, it will be best to have the distributor ship the product to you first, and then add 3 of your own invoices displaying your prices and ship the product directly to your international customer yourself.

You can charge your international customers the same rate that FedEx or UPS charges you and then add on a few extra dollars for handling as well.
Opening a FedEx and UPS shipping account:
When shipping international or overseas, you’ll need to have your own FedEx and/or UPS shipping account where you can ship the products now and be billed for the shipping costs at the end of the month.
Furthermore, when the holiday seasons arrive, some resellers prefer to stock a few hot selling items in order to make sure they don’t mess out on any opportunities since hot selling items are in high demand during Christmas for example. And when it’s time to ship the products, then you can call FedEx or UPS to come pick up the product at your home or office and have it shipped out that same day.
Or you can bring the package yourself to your nearest FedEx or UPS shipping location and still have the product shipped out that same day.
To open a FedEx shipping account, please visit the “New Customer Center” on the FedEx website, www.FedEx.com
To open a UPS shipping account, please visit the registration center on the UPS website, www.UPS.com
Shipping products internationally and over seas does not have to become complicated. And if you want it done right the first time, then you’re better off shipping the products to your international customers yourself.
