Shipping Your Personal Items When You Travel Overseas

Almost everyone loves traveling and there are ample researches done to suggest that traveling is highly beneficial for your physical, mental and emotional health. Let’s dive in and take a look at some of the scientifically proven health benefits that you’ll reap when you travel.

Benefits of traveling:

It makes you a happier and more satisfied person.

It makes you healthier.

It helps relieve stress.

It enhances your creativity.

It lowers the risk of depression.

It improves your communication and social skills.

It broadens your horizons.

It is confidence boosting.

It helps you improve your knowledge on other cultures.

It gives you the opportunity to try amazing cuisines.

When you travel overseas for a holiday, you’ll be very tempted to shop and buy everything that catches your fancy. Many people love to shop when they travel and some who travel just to shop and eat amazing food. You’ll love how you can find custom suits and dresses for a fraction of the price you’d pay back home in countries like China, Vietnam and Thailand.

Here are some shopping tips for you when you shop overseas:

  1. Always double check prices. Thanks to smartphones, internet and WiFi, you can do a quick check on the price of the item that you’re going to buy to make sure you aren’t being taken advantage of.
  2. Use a Currency Converter. It can be a challenge when you travel to countries with different currencies. You can use the XE.com app or website to find out what the current currency exchange rates are.
  3. Bargain. In some countries like Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia, when you shop at stalls, you can bargain for the item to get the best price.

When you are holidaying in a foreign country and need to send souvenirs that you’ve bought back to your own country, finding the right international shipping company to ship your items can be a daunting task. Many questions and worries will run through your mind — is the shipper reliable, is it very costly, how long it takes to ship your stuff to your destination, what if the belongings get lost in transit and whether the shipper is legit.

Today, most airlines charge for each checked or overweight bag, and cruise lines and tour operators limit the number of bags you can bring. Check your airline, cruise line, or tour operator’s website to find out which baggage policies apply to your particular trip. Then, research shipping costs for the types of souvenirs you plan to buy. In addition to the local post office, you may want to consider Shiply to engage one of their shipping companies to ship your souvenirs back home.

At Shiply, there is a vast range of licensed and insured movers ready to give you personalized international transport rates, often up to 75% cheaper than usual rates, but to get the cheapest and most accurate quotes you first need to provide them with a few details about the move via a simple online form.

The money you spend on travel is an investment in yourself and it doesn’t make you feel as bad for spending money. It’s definitely money well worth spent on yourself.
