US Buy-For-Me — I purchase from US stores and ship to your freight forwarder
REQUEST A QUOTE — this is a quote/request page, not a fixed-price item. Taking this item is free ($0); you pay nothing here. After you send your product link and I send a written quote, you pay the full quoted total via a PayPal Goods & Services invoice only. I do not buy anything until payment clears.
US stores often decline a foreign card or refuse to ship outside the United States. I buy the item for you from a US retailer and have it sent directly to your own US freight-forwarder address. I am based in Florida. I do not receive packages at my house, and I do not run a warehouse. You already have (or open) an account with a forwarder such as MyUS, Stackry, or Shipito; that warehouse address is the shipping address on the order. You then pay your forwarder to send the package onward.
HOW IT WORKS: (1) Send me the product link, quantity, your US forwarder address, and your country — reply to the order email or comment on my public Reddit offer. (2) I send a written quote: item price, US tax, US shipping to your forwarder, my fee, and the total. (3) You pay that total up front with a PayPal Goods & Services invoice (buyer protection). (4) After payment clears, I place the order to your forwarder and send you the receipt plus tracking. (5) Your forwarder receives the package; you handle international shipping with them.
FEE: My fee is 12% of (item price + US sales tax), minimum $15 per order. US tax and US shipping to your forwarder are charged at the retailer's actual checkout amounts and included in the quote. International shipping, warehouse fees, and customs duties are paid by you to your forwarder.
PAYMENT PROTECTION: PayPal Goods & Services only, after you have a written quote. No Friends & Family, gift cards, or cryptocurrency.
WHAT I WILL BUY: Everyday items from major US retailers (e.g. Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Ulta, Sephora, Nike, Macy's) that the store will legally sell to a US forwarder address.
WHAT I WILL NOT BUY: Counterfeit or replica goods; weapons, ammunition, explosives, fireworks; drugs, controlled substances, prescription medicine, CBD/THC; tobacco, vapes, alcohol; adult or sexual content; live animals; perishable food needing a cold chain; anything a store or carrier marks as restricted; any item you ask me to mis-declare on a customs form. No orders involving OFAC-sanctioned countries or blocked parties.
FAQ: Do you ship to my home outside the US? No — the retailer ships to your US forwarder, and your forwarder ships to you. • Store won't ship to a forwarder, out of stock, or cancels? Full refund of item, tax, shipping, and my fee if no order was completed. • Cancel? Full refund if I have not placed the US order; after the store has the order my fee is not refundable, and any item refund follows the store's policy and is passed through. • Do you inspect the item? No, the package never comes to me; for damage or missing contents use the retailer and your forwarder. • Why not a forwarder's own assisted purchase? You can; some people prefer PayPal Goods & Services protection, a public quote, and any forwarder they already use. • How do I start? Get this free request item, then send the product link, quantity, forwarder address, and country.
POLICIES: Payment is due in full, via PayPal Goods & Services, before any purchase. Quotes are valid for 48 hours or until stock/price changes at the retailer, whichever comes first. Refunds: full refund if I have not placed the order, or if the retailer cannot complete shipment to your forwarder. After the retailer ships, the shopper fee is earned; item refunds are pass-through only if the store refunds. I am not a freight forwarder and never take possession of your package. You are responsible for your forwarder's fees and any customs duties in your country. Illegal, restricted, and counterfeit items are refused. No orders involving sanctioned countries or any request to mis-declare goods.
