ShiP It Social

ShiP It Social operates with this mindset:

1. We believe that people all over the world want items from Amazon, WalMart and other major internet retailers. However, it is not practical due to #3 and #4 below, which can double or triple the original price of the item.

ShiP It Social can revolutionize the way products are bought, sold and shipped worldwide. By socially shipping  items, ShiP It Social eliminates the unknowns and ridiculous charges that are today's shipping options for most of the world's people.

2. We believe that one's "social profile"  is a key to vetting and cultivating new trading partners. "Social Opportunity"  has existed only during the "Facebook Era". ShiP It Social can harness these connections to break down barriers to shipping products internationally.

3. We recognize that many, if not most countries in the world, have inefficient, expensive or corrupt shipping options.

4.  We recognize that many, if not most countries in the world, have inefficient, expensive or corrupt customs, taxes or duty charges.

5. We believe most people are good.

6. Feedback on ShiP It Social connections is imperative.

7. When you  fly somewhere, it is fun to meet someone new!   ShiP It Social!
