Many american shops use FiftyOne for international shipping. This is a real problem for me, because I reside in Russia.

The only alternative I have found for Gilt is Myhabit. It uses SPSR Express and UPS for shipping to Russia. Shipping can be more or less expensive than when using Gilt. But Myhabit is much better than Gilt from many prospectives.
