hi, i wanted to ask if the an online store which delievers around the world ? i tried amazon.com but it doesn't reach here in the middeast... the online shops here charge three times the prices in the us and europe
 
I live in Honduras. Here we have many companies that give you a physical address in the US (mostly in Miami, FL) so you can get the stuff you buy shipped to this address. Then they fly it every other day to Honduras, so I get my stuff delivered at home 2 or 3 days after it was delivered in Miami. This companies actually give you the address for free, their business is in the shipping from Miami to Honduras, so the cost depends on the weight of the stuff I buy. They even take care of the import paperwork and tarifs when necessary, and charge it to you in your monthly statement. Works pretty well, the most I've paid was about $100 when I bought a complete PC about a year ago. When I buy small items, like a hard disk or a PCI card, I pay $10 - $20.
The only problem I have is that some on-line stores, like Newegg.com, don't accept international credit cards. In these cases I send them a check payable through a US bank.

So, look for one of these companies where you live. And if none exist, then I just gave you a tip on a good business oportunity :)
