Good Points: MyOrbital.com enables internet shoppers to view and shop any site in the user's own currency. It also provides shoppers with global delivery solutions for orders from USA and UK based merchants (more delivery options and countries to come soon). MyOrbital.com has an easy to use interface, and an extensive directory of product and service categories. The service is free!
Bad Points: The site is still in BETA, so some errors might occur (yet none were encountered by me). It only provides global delivery solutions for orders from the USA and UK, but more delivery options and originating countries are to be introduced soon.
General comments: MyOrbital.com is a site that enables internet shoppers from all over the world to shop from any site in the shopper's own currency. It works for everything; music downloads, travel bookings, and clothes etc. The greatest aspect is that the service is totally free!
All you need to do is to select your own currency and tick the T&C's box. You go through to a directory page with an address bar at the top, and a directory of product and service categories. Now all you have to do is either type a specific site you want to shop from in the address bar, or select from the directory. The site you go to will be in your selected currency, never mind if it normally works in Euros, US$, £'s, or whatever.
I found it very useful because I shop on Amazon.com and other USA based sites rather often, and now it is all in £'s!
Myorbital.com do provide global delivery solutions, but the options are limited currently, and is just available for orders from the USA and UK based sites. More options and countries are to be introduced soon.
MyOrbital is Free, easy to use, and is great for shopping on sites in the USA, where prices are generally a lot cheaper and have a wider selection of products. It is normally an effort to convert currency when shopping on non-local sites, but MyOrbital does it automatically.
The site is new, so there are some design aspects that can be upgraded, and there is no feature that allows users to review/rate merchants. I'm sure it will improve over time though.
Overall the site is a pleasure to use, and very useful for international shopping.
