The idea for an archive of information dedicated to the topic of height evolved as the Internet developed into the World Wide Web. Because I'm 6ft11 I have always had to make due with limited options. Whenever I met other tall people in the hope of expanding those options, invariably the topic would turn to retailers that stocked tall-sized clothes or large-sized shoes. I was never wide enough to shop at the Big & Tall stores so I've always had to be a bit more resourceful.
Catalog shopping filled the gaps when a trip to the mall left me lacking. I've always enjoyed computers and technology and because I lived in San Francisco I met people who introduced me to the Internet in the early 90's. I've never been a programmer though I keep threatening to take a course or finish a book of tutorials one of these days - but I did get an email address in 1991 and traded info on a few BBS sites in the early days of the net. When the Web hit the scene it was hard to see how much it would improve my life as a tall man. Once the Web became more commercialized with secure places to shop, it began to augment or replace catalog shopping for me.
It just seemed natural that I continue the tall shopping conversations online. When it started, The Height Site was basically a one-page link repository - just one page of a 3 or 4 page personal site. Over the years I've had friends and aquaintances pitch-in with suggestions, articles, links and moral support. This is still an all volunteer project and I've written all of the material that appears here, unless otherwise indicated. This current incarnation of The Height Site has a more general lifestyle focus - it's equal parts Web Portal, eZine, and community directory.

Most online stores in the U.S. do not offer international shipping and they will deliver items only to addresses that are located inside the United States. Thus, if you are living in some other part of the world, how do you buy that Gucci handbag for your wife? Online ShoppingWell there’s an entire industry in the U.S. that exists primarily to solve this very problem of international shoppers who are trying to buy items directly from U.S. online stores that don’t ship overseas. They are primarily referred as “Mail and package forwarding” services. I recently bought a microphone from Amazon.com but since they won’t ship to India, I used a package forwarding service and the thing got delivered here without any problems.
Yes, there were some additional fees involved but that’s probably the quickest option you have if you desperately want to buy something from a US store
