Today Paul Gartlan tells us about SkyBOX, where he has been for over a year, registering unprecedented growth. He speaks of ’Why SkyBOX?’, benefits offered, and what it means to be able to shop in the U.S.

1. What does this service consist of?
SkyBOX is a shopping facilitator, where Latin American, Central American and European clients register to have a suite number with a physical address for their internet or catalog purchases in the U.S. This means that all the products bought by clients can be delivered by SkyBOX directly to their homes or offices.

2. Why SkyBOX?
There is no SkyBOX competitor offering the facilities, size, or wide, complete range of services SkyBOX does.
SkyBOX alone can offer:
- All deliveries guaranteed 100%.
- Presence in over 52 countries.
- Over 2 million packages delivered since 1991.
- More than 1.5 million hits monthly at our website: www.SkyBOX.net

3. What are the advantages of choosing SkyBOX addresses as compared to direct shipment to the Buyer’s personal address?
- U.S. stores do not usually accept international orders. Even if they do, it is more expensive and they do not handle customs procedures.
- SkyBOX takes care of all customs procedures.
- SkyBOX makes shopping easier by delivering the shipment to clients’ home or office doors.
- Clients can follow-up their shipments every part of the way, by means of our Tracking System.
- Online Chat in 3 languages (Spanish, English and Portuguese) to clear up any doubts and/or guide Clients through the purchasing process.
- Shipping charges from the United States to final destination are an average 20% cheaper than international couriers.

4. So far, what has worldwide reception by Clients been like?
Reception has been excellent worldwide. People can get the latest products, or simply things that are unavailable in their own countries. At this time SkyBOX has more than 250 thousand registered members and a presence in more than 52 countries. Our main markets are Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Spain, Ecuador, Colombia and Caribbean Islands. 2008 has brought 50% growth as compared to 2007, even though at that time we were already by far the largest in the industry. This is the best possible indicator of the advantages we offer as an organization and as absolute leaders in the sector.

There are many small firms offering shopping services in the U.S., but none is our size or offers our service guarantee.
