Everybody loves an online deal. When it comes to cross-border shopping, though, not every online transaction turns out to work to your advantage. Shipping fees, customs delays and a fluctuating dollar can sometimes turn a great deal into a so-so one -- or even a losing proposition. Cross-border shopping is showing "huge increases," said Wishabi VP of Business Development Johnny Dick. The biggest growth is with companies whose Web sites "show everything up front. ... The big thing for consumers is always trust and transparency."

Has any anyone tried shopping bots to quickly search for merchants carrying a wide variety of sites? I prefer bots compared to cross bordering in the sense that they surface great deals while providing consumers with information on merchant offering those deals. Thefind and Onewayshopping.com (www.onewayshopping.com) are resourceful bots.
