Here’s some stuff I’ve been lusting over online 😀  You can guess which ones I actually got.

Ripped denim jacket!  Can’t get over denim jackets I have like three and still keep looking at more >.>  Until last time we went shopping Cheesie huffed at me to stop looking at denim jackets .  But it’s ripped… and beautiful….

Yellow midriff dress.  If I get it I have to use bronzer to draw a line on my stomach WTF.

Baroque cutout shirt.  This makes me cry tears of joy.

Another cutout skater dress.  Nobody will look bad in a skater dress!

Not gonna say which website this is because if you know, you know.  The hint is, it’s a US website.

And you know what US website means most of the time.

NO SHIPPING OUT OF THE US.  Or if got shipping, NO FREE SHIPPING.

The same goes for UK.

Right now I’m still in the US so I fasterly took advantage of my location and purchased some things from a US retail website.  Waiting for them to arrive now!  And every time I’m here I get requests to buy things for friends and family – helped Cheesie buy a Kindle last trip, going to buy another for Wafu, Ooib asked me to help him buy a Nexus 4 but fhl it won’t be released until tomorrow which is too late to ship cos I’m leaving soon.  Mumsy also tumpang me buy Clinique skincare while I’m here, while Fatty looked for some Nike field product for Pierre.

But what if I’m not in the US?  And what about people who don’t get to come here as often?

Cue Borderlinx Maybank.

Borderlinx Maybank provides shoppers with a US/UK shipping address so we can shop at US/UK websites and have them ship to the local address.  Borderlinx partners DHL which will then ship the stuff back to Malaysia.

Obvious benefits are…

1. getting products not available in Malaysia … like the Kindle!
2. getting products early (Google Nexus 4 like Ooib)
3. getting stuff for cheaper (like Forever21 which is crazily overpriced in MY hmph.  There are also websites available here in the US that sell items at cheaper prices compared to normal retail stores which you can take advantage of!)

And benefits of shopping with Borderlinx are…

1. All shipping costs, tax & duty paid in advance (‘DDP’) so no surprise or additional costs upon delivery
2. Reliable & fast delivery : 2-4 days (through DHL Express)
3. Track and trace: full traceability of shipment from US or UK to local delivery address

To ensure there are no nasty surprise costs, you can estimate the full landed cost of an item, using the Total Cost Calculator on the site.

Also here’s a bunch of stuff you should know about Borderlinx.

If you’re already planning what stuff to buy, wait until Black Friday & Cyber Monday to get crazy deals!  Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving here (this Friday FYI, but keep in mind US time zone when you’re shopping), traditionally the day Christmas shopping starts, and it’s when the stores all open very early and have mindblowing sales.  Like more than 80% off kind!  Cyber Monday is the Monday after that and is also crazy sales but ONLINE.

Black Friday the way back in 2004!  I had dark brown hair and 5kg more on myself today lol.  Angela and I woke up at 3am to catch the Black Friday sales in NYC.

Don’t need to do that cos you can just go to your favorite US websites on those days from the comfort of your own homes to gain access to the sales.

All you have to do is register here to start shopping!!
