Title: Buy product from Amazon and ship internationally?
Post by: bit-joker on March 05, 2012, 08:32:54 PM
Wonder if there is any service like this.

PROBLEM: I want to buy a product from Amazon (or other site) and it doesn't ship internationally.

SOLUTION: Send BTC to someone who can go to a place like Amazon and order a product. When it arrives, he goes to the postal office and ship it internationally. He would charge a fee obviously.

Someone willing to help me? I don't mind paying upfront for a reputable member but prefer escrow for unknown ones.

I'd be willing to do this for you.

Feel free to PM me with more details (ie. link to item you'd like to order off of Amazon, where you'd want it shipped to, etc.).

Edit:  I think an easier way too is if you have a chat client of some sort so that communications go through more smoothly.

Hi, i offer amazon gift cards @ 90% so if you need international shipping you would get it for free and maybe save some more :)

(or other site) and it doesn't ship internationally.

Though Amazon already is covered (there are sellers of Amazon gift cards that can be used for payment and Amazon ships most things internationally), there is a place for a service like you describe.

goes to the postal office and ship it internationally.

Bitcoin Agents does that:

Thanks for the replies.

Most of the products I want to buy are around $50 to $100. Here's an example ($55 with free shipping to US):

What is the safest way for both parties? btcrow.com.

Somebody could order online and send it to his home. When the package arrives, he just need to post to my address. How much is enough for the inconvenience of putting a sticker with my address and shipping it?

I have a reputation with a few members here for proxy buying items on amazon. I could even buy it using a gift code from occulta and save you 15% ;D Or you could just use occulta yourself, he's a good guy, with an outstanding reputation for selling amazon gift codes.  ;)

Sorry to thread-hog, but I do need this kind of service too as I'm located in Asia currently... How much fees do you charge for shipping a kindle touch over here ?  ;D

This sale has been initated, and an order has been placed with Amazon. bit-joker has already paid me the full purchase price+shipping+fee.

Johnthedong, if you're still interested, send me a PM.

I can do that too if anyone is interested.
Been selling internationally for years, shipped thousands of international packages before, mostly via USPS.

Just to say I received the product. Ataranlen did a very good job buying and forwarding the package.

Thumbs up!

I'll just leave this here:

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet. Lets you order off any website that only ships US.

Yes, but they don't accept Bitcoins from what I can see

Ahh. Didn't think of that. No they don't accept bitcoins only fiat, but they do have their own international courier service thats cheaper (but much longer) than the post or any other courier. I've used them many times to ship stuff from the US and am very satisfied, and I've also it as a mail forward so that I can signup to stuff thats available to US citizens only. They also have a depot in Shenzhen, China (you can pretend to be a chinese company and buy pretty much anything from all the nearby manufacturers for dead cheap).

Well, i will love to work with you, but i cant ship the product to myself first before sending to you, but if you have any that ships internationally and you need someone to purchase for you let me know and i will pay for it..
