GREAT SKINandLIFE: REVIEW ON MY SHOPPING EXPERIENCE WITH SHOP AND SHIP COMPANY ARAMEX

If you are not living in Kuala Lumpur where most beauty brands gathered, I share your same woes and problem.

I am living in a place where I am starved of beauty products. Don't talk about Innisfree, even Loreal which is readily available in Kuala Lumpur is virtual none existent here.

I can't live without caring for my skin and being away from the beauty world. I can't stand looking into the mirror with bad skin and only using water and harsh bar soap for my face?????I am sure you would understand my feelings.

Online shopping has become a habit living in such place. However, many online companies will deliver to our neighbouring countries but just won't deliver to Malaysia.

Watching people raving about those products only torment myself because I just can't get a hold on it without breaking my bank.

To solve that problem, you can use Shop and Ship company which can make your dream of buying things around the world which doesn't ship to Malaysia comes true.

So, here is a break of what is Shop and Ship company is about:

When you sign up at Shop and Ship , it will:

1. Provide you with 14 addresses and phone number. You make your purchases online to be sent to any of the 14 addresses provided or the nearest countries.

2. When, all items arrives in Aramex Malaysia’s HQ, you will receive a call from them to arrange a suitable date for your package delivery

3. They will also ship your parcels to your house here in Malaysia even if it is not in KL area. I got a sms informing me that my parcel is already on the way to me.

*you can’t control the accumulation of products on your SNS addresses.depending on the countries, item are usually dispatched within 2-3 days.

My experience with it

I think their service is good and delivery is fast. Generally, Express shipping cost would have killed me but Shop and Ship reasonable rates makes shopping online at other countries very much easier and cost effective too. No more being upset after something that others can get but I can't. Most of the time, you can get good deals online. Don't worry even if you are not from big cities like Kuala Lumpur or Johor Bahru as Aramex deliver the products as long as you have an address.

My things were also safe as there is no spillage or the jar broken even if my products is not in a box so I am very sure that they are very gentle in handling my cosmetics.

I hope that this will solve some problems about shopping from some website such as Amazon, Itsy, Memebox, Sephora, Taobao, beauty boxes or from private mall that just don't deliver to Malaysia. If you do not know any good website to shop, Shop and Ship Facebook page constantly has latest promotions from international websites, and they even collaborate with some of the online shops to give you better discounts for Shop and Ship members.
