Getting some products from the US to Iraq is becoming very easy right now. We can shop at major online stores such as amazon, ebay, and others and then ship them to Iraq. How to do that? All we can do is using
Boombinere . I think this is a brilliant service ! I have been using Boombinere and so far I am so satisfied.
We need to sign up and make an account. After that, they will give us an address in the US. Then, whenever we finished shopping and the goods were collected at the given US address, we only need to punch a button to ask them to ship the goods it to us. The shipment fee will be calculated based on the weight of the overall package. There are some collections points in Iraq's major cities such as Erbil, Sulaimaniya, Baghdad, and Duhok. In Sulaimaniya, the collection point is located in Bakhtiari Khon. Boombinere will send notification about the status of our purchase and shipment. Another good news is that we don't have to pay any charges (custom) fee for our goods. Bringing products from US to Iraq is much easier and cheaper than to my own country, really!
I was wondering about the meaning of Boombinere and someone told me that it may come from a Kurdish expression "Bo Men Bena" it means "Bring (to) Me". In Kurdish, the word "Bo" is used to say for or to. Men is used to say me or mine. Bena means bring. They shortened it to be "Bombena" and to make it easier for an English speaking people they write it Boombinere. Interesting !
