    Shopping at Amazon from the Philippines

    An old high school friend sent me a text message asking if I had any experience with shopping at Amazon and how to go about it when you want the goods delivered into the country.

    I actully don’t have any Amazon-shopping experience so I can’t help him either.

    I have a $200 gift certificate there hanging around and waiting but from what I’ve read on their site, Amazon doesn’t deliver in Asia (except for books).

    I thought the only way around it is to have the package shipped to a friend or relative in the US then have them send the package here.

    Is that really the best way for now?
