Most stores in the USA do not accept French cards and those that do usually add a shipping fee that is greater than the cost of the product. That is the major challenge that is holding most customers back before they even reach the payment counter. The best solution to shop from the USA is to get a free U.S. address, make purchases as a regular U.S. customer, and have your package forwarded to France as soon as it is shipped to your U.S. address.
Ship7 gives you that address in minutes, combines multiple orders into a single box and pays a single shipping charge rather than multiple charges. This leads to actual 80% savings on brands and prices that you don't find at the local market and thus we help you at checkpoints or get lost in customs.
Brands, sizes and models that can't sell in France are sold in the US and even with the shipping costs electronics, snippers, beauty products are sometimes cheaper. Sales occur regularly, for example, on Black Friday and Prime Day, and they offer discounts that aren't the same in French stores.
Certain items are only available in the United States and are not released overseas at all, which means you can only purchase them directly from them. Most retailers in the USA verify your card and address, and if you use a French address, you won't even be able to view a shipping quote before getting blocked. If you have an address in the United States you can easily shop and ship internationally.
There are ways to save money and cut down on shipping delays without much effort. Before you confirm any shipment, here are some things to remember:
The one most simple way to reduce your shipping bill is to bundle your packages into one shipment, and only pay the shipping bill once. If you are ordering from multiple US retailers, order all packages to the warehouse and ship them at once, rather than one at a time.
All of this begins with your free US address, which is free to open. Use it at the checkout at any US store just like you would if you were ordering in your home country.
The choice of the right courier is as important as the choice of the store you choose to buy from. DHL and FedEx Priority deliver your parcel in no time, budget and economy reduce your expenses when you're not in a hurry.
Most shipments to France are subject to customs and VAT, which can be calculated based on the goods' declared value, shipping and insurance. The completion of a complete and correct customs form will prevent unnecessary delays at the border.

Always make a comparsion to get a best rate because it varies by weight, season and city of destination. Checking first will save you from any surprises later on when ordering.
If you know how heavy your package is, and you know the city you will be sending it to in France, you can get an accurate shipping charges. This little step will help you avoid some unwanted fees when shipping.
The delivery time varies depending on which carrier you select. Match your selection to the actual time you need the item.
