So, there you are: Shopping on a major U.S. retailer's website, with your online cart full of back-to-school supplies, when you hit a snag. During check out you realize that there are few, if any, international shipping options available for the island or country you call home. Schools starts at the end of summer and you or your students need the materials before classes begin. Now what?
This challenge is all too common for residents in the Caribbean and destinations throughout Latin America. It not only adds hassle to the critical back-to-school shopping window, but also can cause headaches around gift-giving during the holidays or when replacement appliances and furniture are needed.
