Hi,

I have been looking around for some jeans and shoes. Frankly speaking they are more than twice as expensive as they are in US. Do you guys know if I can buy them online and get them shipped to Switzerland ? Are there online shops in say Germany (which seems to be much cheaper) which ship here within reasonable rates ?

Regards,

I guess a shopping trip over the border makes most sense... try Konstanz, beautiful town with plenty of shops and even connected by SBB .

I'd agree, if you'd like to shop in person, head across the border.

If you are not so keen on "shopping" there are some online shops from UK which ship to Switzerland (I've not tried any myself as yet), maybe (hopefully) good quality for the price.

Meanwhile, my m-i-l has been buying from Bon Prix for quite some time and I have ordered a few things from them myself. I won't say it is top quality but it also isn't horrible - plenty good for home and about doing day-to-day things, I'm less confident they'd have anything on offer that you'd want to wear to a job interview.
