With billions of people having access to the Internet today and a smartphone in the pocket, the e-commerce industry has been experiencing a huge growth during the past decade. Thanks to the conveniences of online shopping, more and more people are turning to their computers to shop. More often than not, the price of the product you see online is going to be lower than the price in the store.

The competition between companies and online shops is fierce, and for them to stay relevant on the market, their prices need to be as low as possible. Many companies will use cookies to keep track of the preferences of users and use that information to direct and guide their shopping behavior.
The goal of the online shops is to try and present to you the most relevant product based on your most recent search and interests. Your goal, however, is to find the best deal and there is something that can help you with that.
Surf2Ship is the world’s first price comparison website to offer cross-border shipping. It is a truly useful tool for any online shopping enthusiast. Beta testing is currently in progress, but you are welcome to take a look at the website and admire the user experience.
The person who takes the credit for creating this website is Ravidu Mario Weerakoon, a 21-year-old entrepreneur. He is a product innovation manager at Connect Lanka and a founder of Surf2Ship. He has a lot of experience in the field of technology and logistics. Him being the only child in his family means that he got a good insight in what is like to be forced to fix your problems on your own which proved to be a very useful skill later in life.
