How to purchase on Groupon - Ideel from outside the U.S. and ship purchases worldwide
You can get a virtual address in the USA using a freight forwarder (package forwarding company) like Shipito.

Use your US virtual address when registering. When making a purchase on Ideeli just use your US virtual address for billing and shipping. If your international debit or credit card (Visa, Mastercard) doesn't work on Groupon, use the "assisted purchases" service provided by many freight forwarders (parcel forwarders).

Here is my package from Ideel in the Shipito warehouse in Torrance, California:



Shipito allows you to consolidate your packages and send them to international destinations by USPS Express Mail, USPS Priority Mail, Polonez Parcel, USPS Flat rate box and Flat rate envelope, FedEx, FedEx MPS, Fedex Freight, Shipito Air Mail, DHL, TNT.

Ideel + Shipito combination has been working fine for me for several months.
