X Marks the Scot - An on-line community of kilt wearers.

We have gotten at the Scottish Tartans Museum numerous emails over the years from people asking if we will ship to a foreign country that we have been 99% certain are from scammers. Two tell-tale signs; 1) they generally are asking to purchase odd items in bulk, sometimes not even items that we carry, and 2) they always want to pay on a credit card, the details of which they promise to email to us once we agree to the order. They never are willing to just place their order through our normal shopping cart system on our web site, which uses PayPal.
We ship internationally all the time. We get orders in from France, Austria, Australia, Japan, etc. (Even an occasional order from the UK!) We find that our legitimate international customers have no problem at all just using our regular PayPal shopping cart on our web site.
So when we get an email request from someone for an international shipment, which smells like a scam, we always reply that we will be happy to ship to their country if they will complete their order with PayPal. We generally never hear from them again.
I believe that this is due to the extra security measures that PayPal has in place to protect both the seller and the merchant.
In any case, we'd be glad to send you a kilt to Singapore. :-)
