Parcel to USA requires CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION (CPSC) any advice?

I recently shipped some dolls to the USA, and FedEx sent me an email requesting documentation from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). This is the first time I’ve been asked for something like this.

They mentioned I need to complete either a form for Registered Goods or one for Non‑Registered Goods, but I’m not sure where to find the information required to fill these out.

Has anyone dealt with this before or could share some advice? Thank you!

Proxies, what's your average shipping cost?

Constantly people that ask me to ship them something they get discourage because of the shipping cost.

I usually only ship with FedEx or DHL, but my average shipping cost is about $1,100 MXN (around $60 USD) for 1 KG. Without Tariffs or taxes.

I usually don't offer regular mail. It's cheaper, but super unreliable and a pain: you have to pack everything in the post office because they need to see what you're shipping; there's no way to know the cost online; sometimes their system is down or their POS is not working and they only take cash. And to top it off, sometimes Mexpost opens packages and steals stuff, so I'd rather not use it.

So I'd like to know what's your average shipping cost?

I ship Mexican products worldwide: proxy buying + package forwarding from León, Guanajuato

Most Mexican stores simply don't ship abroad. Mercado Libre, Liverpool, Coppel, Amazon MX, Sanborns, local artisans, Facebook Marketplace sellers — Mexico-only.

Above are some of the recent orders I packed and shipped out of my warehouse in León, Guanajuato.

Two ways to use it:

You buy, I forward. You get a Mexican shipping address. Order whatever you want, have it sent to me, and I forward it to your country.

I buy for you (proxy shopping). Send me the link or a photo of what you want. I purchase it on your behalf, receive it, and ship it out.

What happens in between: I inspect the item, photograph it, repack or consolidate multiple orders into one box to cut your shipping cost, handle the export paperwork, and ship with tracking.

What people order most: Mexican snacks and candy, Talavera pottery, lucha libre masks, guayaberas and ponchos, Hot Wheels and Mexico-exclusive collectibles, boots and sombreros, coffee, vanilla, mole, trading cards, and Mexican-market Coca-Cola.

A few categories I can't ship, and you're responsible for checking your own country's import rules — happy to talk through it before you commit.

Comment or DM me with what you're after and your country, and I'll send you a quote.

¿Cuál es la mejor TDC con sistema de recompensas?

Actualmente tengo tres TDC, Invex Despegar, Banorte Platinum y HSBC Viva. De las tres, creo la de Invex Despegar es la que me da más por mis puntos. La de HSBC con sus puntos Doters ni valen la pena porque no puedo usar mis puntos para pagar todo el boleto, a fuerzas debo desembolsar efectivo. La de Banorte está 2/3, he notado que depende de la aerolínea y el destino los puntos valen diferente. Anteriormente he tenido AMEX Platinum pero la terminé cancelando porque ya ni me daban buenas promociones.

Ahorita estaba considerando la TDC de Revolut porque tienen convenio con muchas aerolíneas y no se ve mal.

En su experiencia ¿Cuál es la TDC qué te da más por tus puntos?

Si tienen oportunidad de comprar en f4t3.co desaprovechenla

Hice un pedido a principios de mayo, debía de haber llegado en dos semanas según su propia página. Pregunté varias veces y solo decian "Seguimos trabajando en su pedido, en cuanto se envíe te pasamos la guía". Pasó mes y medio y no recibí nada.

Luego revisé sus videos en TikTok y estaban llenos de gente quejándose de lo mismo, algunos con hasta tres meses en espera.

Si pides un reembolso te salen con que solo dan crédito. Afortunadamente pague con MP, meto denuncia por la plataforma y me devolvieron el dinero.

Desactivan o borran comentarios en Instagram, y en TikTok creo ya dieron de baja sus videos. No compren en f4t3.co es una estafa.

How much is SuperChinese Plus worth in your country?

I have been using the app for almost a month now and it's incredible! I wasn't planning on buying the subscription because I thought it would not be worth it, specially because paying the whole year is quite too much for me. But I got a free trial and after doing the Quiz and the AI review I was surprised as how good it is. So I'm consider buying the membership.

However, I'd like to know how much is the subscription worth in your country?

¿Puedo abrir un reclamo con mi TDC si hice una compra y no la recibí?

El 24 de Mayo hice una compra en una tienda de ropa en línea mexicana y es fecha que no recibo el pedido y tardan días en contestar. Según tienen muchos pedidos pero ya no quiero esperar, y quiero el reembolso. Pagué con Mercadopago pero con ellos solo puedes reclamar en los primeros 14 días.

​

La compra la hice con una TDC Invex. Mi duda es ¿se puede abrir un reclamo con el banco por compra no recibida?

​

Hasta ahora tengo entendido que se pueden abrir por cargos no reconocidos pero sé si también por compra no recibida. ¿O será mejor meter el reclamo como cargo no reconocido? Al final no tienen pruebas de entrega porque no me lo han dado.

[ADVICE] Buyer is unresponsive

I'm in a bit of a pickle with an active order. We agreed on the price and everything, and I've got the client's stuff ready to ship. But the buyer's been totally unresponsive for over a week now. They seem to log in every day, so they're definitely ignoring me. I've contacted Fiverr support twice, and they've also tried reaching the buyer with no luck. Now I'm just waiting for Fiverr support to tell me what to do next.

Since I've already put work and money into this order, I can't offer a full refund. We even talked about this beforehand, and my terms clearly stated no full refunds.

But I'm worried Fiverr will make me cover the costs and just give the buyer a full refund. I really need the money and can't afford to just eat the cost of this gig.

Any advice?

No compren internacional en Mercadolibre

Pedí varias cosas en 19 de Abril y debieron de haber llegado antes del 8 de Mayo. No llegaron y actualizaron la fecha para el 21 de Mayo. No llegaron y volvieron a actualizar para el 1ro de Junio. Aun no llegan y debo esperar hasta el 26 de Junio para un reembolso. Primera y última vez que pido algo internacional por Mercadolibre, me quedo con AliExpress.

Something completely strange is going on with one order, am I being paranoid?

Someone placed an order with me to ship from Mexico to Tunisia, and I've noticed some suspicious details. First, they requested a phone holder be shipped to an incomplete address in Tunisia, missing a street number.

This is the Phone Holder

\"Customer's address\"

Additionally, the payment was made using a Swiss Mastercard, but the transaction originated from a French IP address flagged as a proxy.

Payment details

IP from where the payment was made

IP Check

To make matters more confusing, the email address used belongs to a shop in Germany.

What's going on here? It's just an unbranded phone holder that can be easily purchased on AliExpress for under $15 USD, yet the shipping cost from Mexico to Tunisia would be around $100 USD. The transaction doesn't make sense financially.

Am I being paranoid? I think I'll cancel this transaction. The issue is that the buyer sent the item to my address, and I'm unsure if they can initiate a return. However, given these red flags, I no longer feel comfortable proceeding. What would you guys do?

To avoid any issues with personal information I will cover some details.

Purpose of shipment

I send packages to people all over the world and I want them to pay as little tax as possible. For the purpose of shipment, would it make a difference if I put GIFT or NOT SOLD instead of SOLD?

Or does it really not matter, and the recipient would end up paying the same for customs duties?

My own profile posts are not showing up

I'm posting on my profile, but it's not showing up, even though it exists. I've tried testing by making a bunch of posts, but none of them are appearing. The last one I made was this:

https://www.reddit.com/u/LastShadowKnight/s/Gy0J9shRz9

It's still there, just not showing. My profile is set to show everything I post and comment on.

I want to make a post and pin it, but since it's not showing, I can't..

Edit: that particular post now shows up, for some reason, but I made other posts before that one and those are not showing up yet. Maybe it's just taking time for them to show up but I'll try to make another one and wait.
