 Are there local online sellers shipping from Pakistan? Or is most of what you purchase online imported?

 International shipping on things like SATA cables doesn't make sense, when there are probably thousands sitting unused in your own country with local shipping.

 @matthew - retroedge.tech the only way to buy stuff from international websites is through visa card, master card or the Chinese union pay cards... or when receiving money only payoneer works or direct swift... paypal and other payment systems don't work here.. we have local payment systems also but they don't work internationally.
