How are you going to establish trust with your users?
Hi, thanks for your question. We realize we are newcomers to this market, so we will establish trust the old-fashioned way: by providing an excellent service which leaves our customers happy. Ultimately, just like any other company which provides a service in exchange for payment (Bitcoin OR fiat), the only way to really establish trust is to actually begin accepting payments and providing our service. This is why we're offering the opening promotion above. We're in it for the long haul, so we want to leave our customers happy so you'll come back for more and tell all your friends. If you like, just try a smaller order to start with. You'll see how great our service is! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Since we are physically located in the U.S. we are able to provide a service which, to our knowledge, no one else currently offers: shipping items from the many U.S. retailers which require a U.S. shipping address (and/or U.S. credit card) AND accepting payment for these items in Bitcoin.

We had a big influx of traffic yesterday (mostly from reddit), and received a good number of orders, and well over 2.5 BTC (~$1600) in orders already paid and in progress. And we're ready for more! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks mate.

Well that would save me a PITA of buying expensive Canadian Textbooks and getting cheap US ones lol ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) So keeping this under observation Indeed!

I REALLY suggest you ask your customers to post about their positive success either in this thread or in some kind of subreddit. It helps a TON with building reputation and getting people to fucking love you.

By the way, we are totally working on this. Of course, Bitcoin buyers love their anonymity, not to mention that the process of purchasing U.S.-only items, waiting for them to ship to our U.S. address, then waiting for them to ship overseas can take a week or two. But, all in due time ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Order Total $189.99 Estimated Shipping (to you): [Shipping Weight 2 lbs] via DHL Express (1-4 business days): $28.08 (this is to Europe) Subtotal: $218.07 Coinsfer.com Tip (5%): $10.90 Handling: $10 Total price : 238.97$ 50$ more expensive for S&H? It's a bit over the top if you ask me....I'll think this over, but by the current look of it, I'll have to pass ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

It's a bit over the top if you ask me....I'll think this over, but by the current look of it, I'll have to pass ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Well, the shipping ($28.08) we unfortunately have no control over, that's just how much it costs to ship your item international. The handling ($10) is approximately what it actually costs us to order your product, ship it, etc. Lastly the 5% tip ($10.90) is our actual profit on the whole order. $10.90 is not really a ton of profit in USD, just enough to make it worthwhile really, but a big part of the reason we're doing this is just to further the cause of Bitcoin to transform international commerce (because screw the fiat protectionist bankster system ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) ).

Your profit margin is indeed fairly low, and it wasn't my intention to criticize it ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) The only other cost to factor in, for me, would be import fees, which can run up to another 35 euro or more, so it wouldn't be worth it, if you factor everything in....

In addition to our normal purchasing service, we now support subscriptions as well. For example, we recently had a customer inquiry about purchasing a subscription to http://ustvnow.com - a service which provides U.S. TV channels overseas. We are providing this subscription for just $39/mo! If you're interested in a subscription to other online services, please let us know and we will provide a quote. Important note: for the time being we are only taking a limited number of subscription accounts. We currently have 3 subscription accounts remaining, so contact us now!
