Buyandship Singapore
We always want what we can't have.
More often than not, the harder it is to buy something, the more we find ourselves thinking about it, craving for it, and wishing we could get our hands on it.
The saddest feeling is when you can afford the product, and don't mind the shipping fees.. except that the brand simply doesn't ship to Singapore.
I've encountered this issue countless of times, especially when I'm searching for customized baking equipment, special gifts for loved ones, or just really gorgeous handmade apparels and accessories from smaller brands who usually do not ship globally.
That's until I found a trustworthy international online shopping transfer service - BuyandShip.com.sg.
What BuyandShip.com.sg does is to provide you with a foreign warehouse address (i.e. a US address) which you can purchase anything from the US (or any other countries listed on their website) and have the items sent to the address provided.
Once the items have arrived in their US warehouse address, you will be notified, and the parcels will be sent to a MAIN Warehouse in Hong Kong.
When everything you'd like to buy across the world has been consolidated (for FREE) in the Hong Kong warehouse, (yup, you can buy items in the US, Japan & Korea etc at the same time!) the parcels can all be collectively shipped to your home in Singapore.
Super convenient, isn't it!
If you require an easy step-by-step tutorial on how to use Buyandship, read till the end of this post!
This time, we bought some snacks from Walmart in the US because we found some cool snacks on their website that we really wanted to try!
Our huge parcel arrived swiftly and safely, and we couldn't be more impressed with Buyandship's efficiency and transparency in updating us our parcel's location at every step of the way.
We were also provided with a tracking number for our reference.
