If your answer is yes, this article is definitely a must read for you!

It’s a well known fact that you can’t actually buy all the goods you want from the markets in Nepal.

But should you lose your hope and just give up on the idea of getting your desired products in Nepal altogether? SURELY NOT!

At iWishBag, we receive a lot of inquiries every month from people asking us if its possible to get the products they found on Amazon or other international ecommerce website shipped to their address in Nepal.
