I’m looking for a Shopee buyer for either Taiwan &/or the Philippines. The products I am looking for from Taiwan is a PC case and for the Philippines will be some sort of a button up jacket from a clothing company named Bench that was available around March - April.

Tl;dr: Looking for Japanese resident with Mercari account for some domestic shipping.

I am on holiday in Japan right now and I would like to buy an item (a small lamp) from Mercari. It is not available for international shipping (as it contains a lithium battery), so I'd like to obtain it while I am still here, which is until Wednesday 27.05.

Right now I am in Tokyo. Is it possible to place the order and directly ship it to some post office in Tokyo under my name?

If not, is there someone living in Tokyo (or the general area) that could order it to their home and I can come by/meet you anywhere and pick it up.

I will - of course - pay you for this service. If you are able to do this, please feel free to message me and tell me how much commission you expect.

As the title suggest I have a few vintage knives with buyers in USA but most logistics provider refuse to take on the product stating custom problems. I was suggested using Indian post but no guarantees of the product going through customs. Is there any secure way of going about it and if Indian post is reliable for my products?

Hi! I am looking for a international shopper to ship to us, looking for kids vintage pieces. In particular characters (dora, elmo, pooh, and strawberry shortcake).

Hi, im based in the United Kingdom. I want to order a gift from the USA to be delivered to a USA address. So far i have tried sephora.com, shark and ulta, but my payment keeps getting rejected due to the billing address not being the same as the postal address.

I’ve contacted their customer services and they said i dont meet their terms of service to purchase. Does it mean i cannot order from a usa website to be delivered within the usa? Can anyone else share if they’ve been able to purchase something from an US website, while not being based there?

Before anyone advises on amazon. Ive tried them and they cancelled my order and later had it reviewed and said i could place the order. But im out of pocket on conversion fees. Initially they offered a $50 goodwill coupon, but then rescinded it. Their customer service is horrendous and out of principle I’d rather not place another order.

Is there anyone who has experience helping with purchases from Etsy sellers in UK,that don't ship to Europe.

Someone with good reviews?

I want to ship this item from Amazon US to Egypt. I shipped this before using Aramex and it arrived safely. It weighs 4 pounds. That seller no longer sells it so I need someone to do it for me, just tell me the budget and which carrier you will use. Here’s the link: https://a.co/d/077XmGV4

Looking for a Chinese to US proxy to buy an item but I do not get hoe any of the sites works, so I am looking for a proxy who cah both purchase and translate to help me. Thank you! :)

Hi, I'm looking to order some items from Shoe Palace but they only ship within the US, and I'm in the UK. If anyone can help out, that would be much appreciated :)

Hi everyone,

I live in Germany and really want the new Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses (the ones with the in-lens display). They are only available in the US right now through in-store purchase after a demo at places like Best Buy, LensCrafters, or Ray-Ban stores.

I'm looking for someone reliable in the US who's willing to:

Book a demo and buy a pair for me (I can tell you exact model/color/size preferences)

Either bring them when traveling to Germany/Europe, or ship them via a reliable method

I will pay:

Full price of the glasses + tax

Your time or shipping costs

A fair service fee (happy to discuss, $100+ depending on effort)

Any customs/VAT/import fees on my end

I'm 17 and can pay via PayPal Goods & Services (or whatever is safe for both) for buyer/seller protection. We can use a middleman or whatever makes it secure.

If you're planning a trip to Europe soon or live near a store that has them in stock, that would be perfect. Please comment or DM with your rough location and any questions.

Thanks so much — these look amazing and I can't get them here yet!😭✌️

In the morning, I discovered a rare edition of a Greek work for sale on Vendora. It had been posted within the previous 6-12 hours. I notified u/grimmia right away and they were able to contact the seller and make the purchase within 24 hours. This work tends not to last very long at all after it is posted. Once grimmia had the work in hand, they contacted me, showed photos, and worked with me on express shipping. The package arrived today, well-cushioned and sturdy. I couldn't be happier, both with adding this rare work to my collection, and with grimmia's care and expedition in making the purchase and shipping it to me. I will definitely be reaching out in the future whenever I locate items in Greece that I can't live without.

A relative wants to send a suitcase from the US to Hyderabad, India. It’ll mostly contain personal items like clothes, shoes, some jewelry/accessories, and beauty/skincare products. Total weight would probably be around 40–45 kg (definitely under 100 lbs).

We’re trying to figure out the best option:
- Airline extra baggage?
- Courier/shipping companies?
- Cargo services?
- Anyone traveling from USA to Hyderabad willing to carry paid extra luggage?

Questions:
- What are the cheapest and safest ways to send this?
- Approximate cost for 40–45 kg?
- How long does delivery usually take?
- Any reliable shipping companies you’ve personally used?
- Are there services that can deliver within 30 days?
- Any customs issues we should know about for beauty products/jewelry?
- Is it better to split into 2 bags?
- Has anyone used traveler luggage groups or apps before? It’s something that I’ve heard of. Were they safe?

If anyone is traveling from the USA to Hyderabad soon and has extra baggage allowance, we’re willing to pay for carrying the luggage too.

Would really appreciate recommendations or personal experiences!

I need help from someone who has and address or is in Japan. I ordered a bottle of alcohol. (20% Proof Umamusume Vodka Lemoncello) and have been pulling my hair out trying to find someone to ship it to me here in the US. Need an address by June, and currently have nothing. I have an answer from DHL that they're able to ship it, but unfortunately the place I bought it from (Kurand) is unable to use DHL directly, and can only use the Japan Post. If anyone is able to assist I would be much appreciated.

Hello, I’m wondering if anyone can help me buy something from avito and ship to the UK? Also some information on shipping times and price. Thank you!

I’m trying to get a couple packs of Seven Stars cigarettes, I live in LA so I thought my best bet is someone who’s going to be in LA and I can pick it up since you’re technically not allowed to ship tobacco products. But if someone is willing to try shipping it, I think with 2 packs it’s unlikely the carriers will check it. But it’s obviously the shopper’s discretion, just thought I’d try :)
