anyone knows an online store that ships outside US?
February 192010
Im planning to give my brother a gift for his 32nd birthday. Unfortunately he is outside US because he is a photojournalist for an international newspaper. Im planning to give him a new digital SLR or a HD video camera. Anyone who knows an online store that can ship outside US and accepts credit card?
B& H are a reputable company and I have bought from them using a credit card and received the goods in Australia.

I think most of them do. UPS and FedEx ship worldwide, so just buy the item and have it shipped. DHL goes all over the place, too. I once had a man tell me he sent a package to his missionary daughter in Africa. The DHL guy showed up on a bicycle. Just try ordering and see if they will send it to the country your brother lives in.

The B&H suggestion is good. Adorama does likewise.
Only to add:
If this is a gift, bear in mind that when your brother (wherever he is) receives the package – even though it is a gift – will be liable to customs and excise duties. How much will depend on the country he is in and the value of the package.
Let’s say a camera costs $2000. When he receives it he might be liable for (typically) 17.5-25% of the cost in value added tax when he picks it up. That’s a lot added to the camera cost. It is a cost which which he pays…
