It doesn't get any easier than
this -- click your mouse and order from the first
online import store in Taiwan and skip the trip
to Tianmu or Costco. E-store Taiwan is the brainchild
of Landis, an expat who has been in Taiwan for
10 years. At www.estoretaiwan.com, you'll find
plenty of imported goods that are very reasonably
priced. Plus, you'll save money on gas, and the
shipping is cheap! Minimum orders of NT$500 or
US$20 are required; you can pay with either currency.
My recommendations include Blue Cheese and Ranch
salad dressing, any of the BBQ and hot sauces
(like Habanero Hot Sauce from Hell), PowerBars,
Kool-Aid packets, Hamburger Helper, Corn Nuts,
taco shells and stuffing mixes. Health nuts will
be happy to see that E-store stocks Fat Free Ranch
dressing, Crystal Light drink mixes and Atkins
bars. You can also order western shirts (authentic
cowboy stuff), LCD TVs and Body and Bath products.
Landis hopes to offer up to 500 products by this
autumn, so keep checking the website for updated
information. Soon a Sunday eatery will open in
Taoyuan County where you can buy products directly.
For ideas, product suggestions, or questions,
e-mail Landis at: theboss@estoretaiwan.com.
