In the past, you have stated that you reside in the US, and have
relatives in France. Therefore, it is understandable that you, being a
generous person, are looking to ship so many gifts and goods ranging
from shoes to camcorders to your relatives. However, please take
serious consideration of the fact that electronic goods designed for
American customers are not appropriate for end-users in Europe.
Everything from power adapters, video formats, the language used in
the instruction manuals will be inappropriate. Most importantly, most
manufacturers limit the warranty coverage on their products by sales
region, partly to discourage grey-market sales as well as to ensure
that products are not used improperly.
You have also stated in the past your preference to use credit cards
to pay for your purchases. With the extremely high rate of occurence
of credit card fraud these days, you really should stick with dealing
only with proven online retailers who can protect your credit card
information through close cooperation with the credit card issuers.
The last thing you would want is for your personal credit card
information to end up in the hands of an online thief!
In light of this, I would suggest that a possible alternative to your
question would be to ask for stores based on France that accept
payments using foreign credit cards (note that you will undoubtedly
need to contact your credit card issuer to provide them with the
French shipping addresses that you want the goods sent to). Another
alternative would be to ask for ways of providing your relatives with
money transfers so that they can purchase goods designed for the
French market themselves. |
