How to Start Shopping in the USA – 7 Simple Steps to International Shopping!

America is the main market in the world. Here you can find everything, and at the lowest prices. But if you don’t have relatives or friends in the USA, buying goods in this country is no longer as profitable. Shipping goods to Russia directly is currently impossible due to sanctions, so our service will be an excellent solution. Save on purchases and get all the best deals in Prostobox!

What is a purchasing agent in America?

A purchasing agent in America is a company with its own warehouse that can accept your goods at its address, then process the package and forward it to Russia. It is also called a “mail forwarder,” from mail forward – to forward mail. 

If you have friends or relatives in America, you can also ask them for similar help. Have your packages delivered to their address, and they will forward them to you in Russia. This way you can also save money. But there are pitfalls: it’s unlikely that someone will be interested in regularly helping you without compensation. They may also live in a state that charges tax (from 2% to 15% in the USA), so you’ll end up paying more for your purchases.

Similar delivery services from the USA to Russia are also offered by agents on forums. They simply live in America and don’t mind earning a little extra. In this case you act entirely at your own risk. And you generally have to pay more than when working with large companies that can reduce prices through shipping volumes and even run their own delivery services with the most favorable rates.

In the end, forwarding companies save you several hundred or even thousands of rubles on every shipment from America to Russia. Plus they provide additional services and make the whole process faster.

How it works:

• you register on the website;
  
  
• receive your personal virtual address in the USA (free);
  
  
• enter this address on store websites as the shipping address;
  
  
• packages arrive at the warehouse and appear in your personal account;
  
  
• you choose how to ship them to Russia or other CIS countries and specify the destination (you can do this in advance to speed up the process and get even better rates);
  
  
• pick up the package at the specified pickup point or parcel locker in a few days.

As you can see, the process is simple and requires no time or effort. You simply order packages to a US address instead of a Russian one. And the savings are very substantial. Even if you shop in the USA only once or twice a year, a good agent from America to Russia will give you several dozen dollars in “profit,” not to mention that in many stores it’s simply impossible to make a purchase without a US address.

Why do you need an agent for shipping from the USA?

• Low shipping rates (see our “Calculator”);
  
  
• Free package receiving and storage, free removal of extra boxes;
  
  
• Purchases are made using an address in a tax-free state, so you pay 0% sales tax instead of 2–15% for regular Americans;
  
  
• A reliable agent from the USA takes responsibility for delivery and the condition of your cargo – this is not a corporation or a government agency;
  
  
• Additional services (packaging for especially fragile items, product photos, functionality checks for equipment, arranging returns to the store);
  
  
• Some agents (for example, Pochtoy.com) purchase items in stores themselves; these companies employ professional buyers who buy goods with their own cards so you don’t have to do it yourself. All you need to do is top up your balance in your personal account with a ruble card.
  
  
• Package insurance;
  
  
• Significantly faster delivery times;
  
  
• A mail forwarder lets you “become an American” in the eyes of the store, which is useful, for example, when joining a loyalty or rewards program for customers;
  
  
• Access to promotions and discounts that are usually available only to Americans.

Maybe you've heard that for shopping in America you need your own «virtual address» in the USA. But what is it and how does it work? How do you get them? And are there virtual addresses that are better than others? We'll explain!

What is a virtual address in the USA

American stores often restrict shipping outside the USA – including to protect their own interests. For example, Apple, Nike,  Adidas and other brands do not sell to foreigners or even block access to their site without a VPN. After the introduction of sanctions, most brands completely stopped working with customers from Russia.

Ordering through Prostobox is advantageous: you pay the same price as Americans, without overpaying for delivery. All you need is to get a free virtual address in the USA. This is your personal address for shopping, which allows you to buy on the same terms as locals: with domestic discounts, promotions, and often with free shipping across the country.

Who provides this virtual address in the USA? Intermediary companies, so-called mail forwarders. They have their own warehouse in the States, one of the cells of which will now be your new «American home». Your parcels from American online stores will arrive at this warehouse address. And the intermediary company will then forward them to Russia. Since this is their specialization, such delivery is usually much cheaper than shipping by standard means from the store itself. These companies work specifically with the CIS market, they offer several delivery options, they have additional useful services, they insure the parcel, and overall the process turns out to be very simple and convenient.

How to use a virtual address

To begin with – you need to have one! You can get an address in the USA from a mail forwarder company. Just register on the website, and you will see it in your personal account. Your address consists of:

• state;
• city;
• street and house address;
• ZIP code;
• phone (some stores accept only American);
• STE number (or ID number, this is your identifier with the forwarder company itself, allowing it to distinguish you from other clients).

Now you can use this address in America for shopping in any online store in the USA. It is enough to enter (or even easier, copy) this address into the corresponding fields when the store's website asks you to provide your shipping address. The forms for filling out this Shipping Address on websites in the USA are roughly the same everywhere.

Note that many stores require a real Billing Address – the one linked to your bank card. If the site does not allow entering a Russian address, you can use the same one as your American shipping address (from the Prostobox service).

The screenshot shows an example of filling out the Shipping Address fields for the 6pm store. In other stores, the form and filling order are usually the same.

Advantages of a virtual address in the USA from Prostobox:

• You pay for any goods directly in the store, using any method convenient for you, without intermediaries or overpayments.
• You can use our address in America for Amazon, eBay, 6PM, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, New Balance and all other most popular stores, without restrictions.
• You can enter all data even before the parcel arrives at our warehouse, which significantly speeds up its processing. With us, parcels arrive in Russia not in two or three weeks, but in 5-10 days.
• You get all discounts and offers available to Americans.
• You save on purchases. Our address is located in Delaware, a tax-free state, which allows you not to pay VAT. In the states it ranges from 4% to 10%, but with us you pay 0% taxes. 
• You save on delivery. Prostobox has one of the most advantageous deliveries of goods from America. For example, delivery.
• We provide additional services, such as photos and item inspection, as well as insurance.
• You do not pay for receiving or using a virtual address in the USA, it is completely free.
• We do not charge for receiving a parcel or for space in the warehouse, you only pay for delivery and additional services.

US shipping services and delivery methods

American online stores attract customers from Russia with their low prices, very large discounts, absence of counterfeits and, of course, the largest assortment. Everything you can imagine is sold in the USA. Amazon alone offers over 600 million items.

There is only one problem – most stores do not ship parcels directly to the Russian Federation (and other countries outside the States). That is why most customers use shipping services from the USA. This makes it possible not to overpay for forwarding the goods. It saves money and, often, time as well.

What is a shipping service from the USA

Many American stores do not ship goods outside the country, or ship them at inflated rates. But shipping services for goods from the USA allow you to «pretend» to be an American. They give you a virtual American address (this is the address of your mailbox at the warehouse of such a company). As a result, you become indistinguishable from an American. This means – delivery becomes free for you (almost in all stores — when ordering from $25–$50). Plus, you get access to discounts and bonus programs available only to Americans.

And many branded stores do not sell their goods outside the USA at all, so getting such an American address is the only way to buy something from them. Prices for good clothing and footwear in Russia are prohibitively high, the «markup» on goods of some brands is more than 150%, so it is often much more profitable to deliver a parcel from the USA, and this allows you to save several thousand rubles. For example, compare the prices of Lamoda.ru and Adidas.com (delivery of one pair of sneakers saves 3+ thousand rubles, and sometimes even more than 5,000 rubles, not to mention the assortment). 

An intermediary company, a delivery service from America to Russia (the so-called «mail forwarder» = «parcel forwarder») allows you to buy at much more favorable prices. It will accept the parcel in the USA, process it (if necessary) and forward it to your address. The largest mail forwarders have their own delivery services, and their prices are much lower than those of UPS or USPS. In addition, they offer many additional useful services, such as insurance and repackaging, and they also process and forward the parcel much faster than if it went «directly» from the store to Russia. That is why these delivery services in America are so popular among residents of the CIS countries.

How to disable double conversion in PayPal

What is double conversion

Suppose you have a dollar card and are paying for a purchase in dollars. Everything makes sense, but by default PayPal does something extra: first converts the amount to rubles (or another national currency), sends it to the bank, and the bank converts it back to dollars – already at its own rate. As a result – you lose on the difference in rates. This is especially noticeable with large purchases.

How to disable it – in 2 minutes:

1. Log in to PayPal and open  «Profile»:

2. Go to the «Payments» section and click the «Manage pre-approved payments» link.

How to Fill Out the Declaration

Superfast, FastBox or Express
Universal EMS
Econom
CDEK KZ ONE

For Superfast, FastBox or Express tariffs

Basic rules:

1. Everything that can be taken from the product card in the store – must be taken from the product card in the store.

2. Everything that needs to be filled out in Russian – must be filled out as clearly as possible for customs officers. So that the customs officer without knowledge of English understands exactly what is in your package.

Example of filling out the declaration.

As an example, let's take the page of vitamins on iherb. Pay attention to the screenshots, we have shown with numbers what and where to insert from the product page into the declaration.

To fill out the declaration as correctly as possible, open the product page in the store and copy all the information from it, except for the item "Name and description in Russian", we will return to it later.

Here is what should result in the end:

This is important! In item 5, the total cost of the goods is always indicated. If you ordered 2 jars of vitamins, write the cost for two jars here, not for one.

Now let's proceed to filling in the data in line two.

This is important! Not all customs brokers have a sufficient command of English to understand what you have in the package. Therefore, in Russian, write as clearly and in detail as possible.

Therefore,
Potassium Plus Iodine, 180 Tablets
should be described in Russian as:
Vitamins Potassium + Iodine, 180 capsules

Add this to the product card.

Now click "Save" and move on to the next item.

If you have any questions about filling out the declaration, be sure to clarify them in the chat on the website. This is the easiest and fastest way to get an answer to your question and do everything right the first time.

Features of filling out the name and quantity if you bought a lot consisting of several product packages.

If the package contains goods that were sold as one lot, be sure to indicate in the declaration in item 2 in Russian that it is a lot.

For example, you bought toothpaste on Amazon and there were 3 tubes in the package.
Crest Complete Multi-Benefit Whitening + Scope Minty Fresh Flavor Toothpaste 2.7 Oz, Pack of 3
In the declaration in Russian, you must indicate that this is a lot consisting of several items:
Whitening toothpaste Crest with freshness flavor, lot of 3 pcs.

In this case, if you have only one such package of three tubes – indicate "Quantity" as 1 pc.

One more example.

Crest Scope | Mini Brushes--Disposable Toothbrushes with Toothpaste and Pick for Work or Travel (12 count, 6 Pack (12 Brushes))
Travel kit: toothbrush and Crest Scope toothpaste. 2 pcs. in the package.
In the "Quantity" item, write 6 pcs.

Basic rules:

1. The declaration has only five lines available.

2. If you have no more than five items, when filling out the declaration, simply shorten the product name to 2-3 words. For example:

Samsung Galaxy Watch instead of Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic (47mm, GPS) 1.5" Super AMOLED
Headphones instead of Skullcandy Indy Fuel Wireless Earbud Headphones
Shoes Burton instead of Burton II Shoes hotter Mens 9.5US

3. If there are more than five items and they are different, follow the instructions:

If we are talking about clothing or footwear, it is acceptable to shorten to the type of clothing:

T-shirts (even of different brands) can be combined under the word t-shirts and the quantity and total cost recorded. Jeans under the word Jeans, etc.

But equipment must be recorded as described in item 2.
Therefore, if you have 2 IDENTICAL portable consoles in your package – you can combine them into one line.
But if you have 2 DIFFERENT portable consoles in your package (for example, Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch) – each must be recorded in a separate line of the declaration.

4. Do NOT write in transliteration, because it is important that an English-speaking customs officer understands what is in the package. For example:

Shoes – good, Obuv – not acceptable
Phones – good, telefoni – not acceptable

5. Do not use symbols, numbers, or signs. Use only letters to describe the goods in the declaration.

6. To make it easier to come up with a category name in English – use a translator, for example deepl.com

7. If you have more items in the package than can fit into five lines of the declaration – you need to order splitting of the package.

8. It is not allowed to send more than 2 batteries in one package; batteries cannot be sent separately from the goods.

Example of filling out the declaration.

To correctly fill out the declaration for the Universal EMS tariff, open the product page.

For example, you are filling out the declaration for the Valve Steam Deck 64gb console, discard the numbers, the name of the console and the manufacturer brand and we have nothing left of the name. This means we need to independently describe what this thing is, if explaining its purpose to a person for whom the words Steam Deck mean nothing. In our situation – it is a portable gaming console. Translate into English and write Portable gaming console.

That's all. It remains to click "Save". If you have any questions about filling out – ask in the chat on the website. This is the fastest way to get an answer to the question and do everything right the first time.

For Econom tariff

Basic rules:

1. When filling out the declaration, simply shorten the product name to 2-3 words. For example:

Samsung Galaxy Watch instead of Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic (47mm, GPS) 1.5" Super AMOLED
Headphones instead of Skullcandy Indy Fuel Wireless Earbud Headphones
Shoes Burton instead of Burton II Shoes hotter Mens 9.5US

2. You can write the category, not the product. For example:

jeans and t-shirts – all this is clothes (Clothes)
sneakers and boots – footwear (Shoes)

3. It is undesirable to write in transliteration, because it is important that an English-speaking customs officer understands what is in the package. For example:

Shoes – good, Obuv – not acceptable
t-shirts – good, mayki – not acceptable

To make it easier to come up with a category name in English – use a translator, for example deepl.com

Example of filling out the declaration.

To correctly fill out the declaration for the Econom tariff, open the product page.
Copy the name (1).
Write the quantity (2) and the total cost (3) of the goods.

For example, you are filling out the declaration for this outfit from Carter's, simply copy the entire product name. Fill in the quantity and the total cost.

If in addition to the outfit you bought and want to send several other children's items in the same package, you can combine these goods into a category and record them in one line in the declaration.
All of these are children's clothes, so the declaration lines need to be filled out as follows:
Name: Kids clothes
Quantity: 10
Total cost: 200

That's all. It remains to click "Save". If you have any questions about filling out – ask in the chat on the website. This is the fastest way to get an answer to the question and do everything right the first time. 

For CDEK KZ ONE tariff

Basic rules:

1. Everything that can be taken from the product card in the store – must be taken from the product card in the store.

2. Everything that needs to be filled out in Russian – must be filled out as clearly as possible for customs officers. So that the customs officer without knowledge of English understands exactly what is in your package.

Example of filling out the declaration.

As an example, let's take the page of T-shirts on 6pm.com. Pay attention to the screenshots, we have shown with numbers what and where to insert from the product page into the declaration.

To fill out the declaration as correctly as possible, open the product page in the store and copy all the information from it.

For example, you are filling out the declaration for a T-shirt from 6pm.com

1. Link to the site: https://www.6pm.com/

2. Product name in English

3. Translate the name Polo Ralph Lauren Classic into Russian quite freely but clearly and with details: Men's classic polo shirt Polo Ralph Lauren.

4. Quantity: 1

5. Total cost, $: 63

6. Article (ASIN or SKU)

7. Brand name in English: Polo Ralph Lauren

Now click "Save" and move on to the next item.

If you have any questions about filling out the declaration, be sure to clarify them in the chat on the website. This is the easiest and fastest way to get an answer to your question and do everything right the first time.

How to properly arrange a return of a package to US stores

How to return an item to a US store

You can arrange a return of a package ordered independently from US stores. Often, stores offer free return of items that didn't fit. In order for the return to be free – simply download the return label (sticker on the box) from the website of the store where you ordered the item.

A label is a pre-paid sticker on the box from the store where you made the purchase. It contains sender and recipient data, codes, tracking.

How to arrange a return:

1. Download the label from the store's website.

Correct return labels look like this:

2. Upload it in your personal account.

3. Do not upload QR codes, screenshots or just an address – the warehouse will not be able to use them for the return.

Make sure it is a correct file, not:

• QR codes
• Barcodes or screenshots of the return address

This is not suitable:

QR codes

Barcodes or screenshots of the return address

Free shipping is possible only with a correct return label.

 What if there is no label?

If there is no such data – we can generate a label ourselves, but for this you need to request the return address, email and phone from the store.
In this case, delivery is paid separately, and the standard warehouse service commission is added.

Writing Letters to American Online Stores

When shopping on English-language websites such as eBay, Amazon or a million other online stores, it is not necessary to know English at all. Product descriptions can be easily translated using an automatic translator. And correspondence with sellers usually comes down to a set of standard phrases, which we offer you in this article.

Recommendations for Writing Letters

• Politeness never hurts in any situation. Always try to start your message with a greeting and end with a farewell and signature.
• There should always be specifics in the letter. Remember that the people you are contacting usually have more than just you as a client. Therefore, always indicate the lot number (in the case of eBay), the internal item number in the online store, or at worst just insert a link to the item.
• If your English is not perfect, use simple sentence constructions. This way you will definitely be understood.
• Disrespect, rudeness, insolence, and threats never bring any benefit. It is not in your interest, because everything can change. For example, on eBay rudeness and insults are punishable, and for threats a user's account may be blocked.
• Try to make the letter well-reasoned. Do not make unsubstantiated statements, assertions, or unfounded demands. Support everything written with facts and photos.

Well, and of course, templates of standard messages, which will be quite sufficient for correspondence with sellers.

Standard Phrases

Questions About the Item Being Purchased

Payment for the Item

Shipping. Insurance. Customs

Cancellation of the Transaction

Item Not Received or Does Not Match the Description

Disputes and Returns

1. Open the amazon.com website in the browser and log into your account.

2. Scroll down the page and select the “Help” item.

3. Go to the “Something else” section, then click “I need more help” — the “Chat with us” or “Request a phone call” button will appear.
4. In the new window, after automatic redirection, your order history will open; select the order for which the buyer is seeking help from Amazon support. 

Four submenu tabs are available horizontally to choose the primary topic of the future discussion with the operators:

An order I placed — orders that have been placed;

Amazon Devices and Kindle Apps — devices and software from Amazon (Kindle e-readers or Fire tablets);

Digital Services — questions about digital goods from Amazon;

Prime or Something else — Prime account or other questions.

The most common reason for contacting Amazon support is questions regarding placed orders, so we will continue the instructions for this section:

5. After checking the desired item, proceed to choose the reason for contacting support — “Select an issue”. Select the appropriate item here, but if there is no suitable one in the list, you can choose “More order issue”.

In the “Select issue details” subsection, specify clarifying information about the topic of the inquiry; if there is no suitable item, choose “Other orders question or issue”, after which you must manually enter the topic of the dialogue with the operator in the third window.

6. You can contact via:

– Online chat (available almost always);

– Request a callback (if available in your region);

– Email — not offered in most cases.

7. After choosing a method of contacting Amazon support operators (using chat as an example), a form will appear in which you must enter information about your problem or question, and only then click “Start chat”.

A separate tab with a bot is currently used, and only then does it switch to an operator.

How to write a letter to a third-party Amazon seller

Given the vast number of third-party sellers on Amazon, the need to maintain contact with them does sometimes arise — either to clarify details about an item, or about order delivery times, shipping methods, etc. Let’s look at an example of writing a letter to one of the sellers on Amazon.

1. Who exactly is the seller of a specific item is indicated right on its description page.

2. Clicking on the seller’s username opens a new page that leads to their personal page with details, reviews, rating, and other information. On the right is the “Ask a question” or “Contact seller” button — this is used to create a letter to the seller.

3. The principle of writing a letter is similar to writing to Amazon support — you need to select the subject of the question (about an already purchased item or about an item you plan to buy); in the second step you need to specify the topic of the inquiry — if no corresponding section is provided for selection, choose the last item — “Other Question”. After selecting the values, proceed to writing the letter by clicking the “Write message” button.

4. In the window that opens, enter your question and send the letter to the seller. Expect a reply via email; you can continue the correspondence with the seller from your personal mailbox. There are no exact timeframes for receiving a reply, so in some cases you should be patient.

As a useful bookmark, we recommend adding a small collection of the most frequently used English phrases when communicating with sellers to your favorites — Writing letters to American online stores.

In 90% of cases, a billing address verification request occurs with new accounts. However, in some cases, supporting documents may also be requested from accounts with history. Therefore, the information below will be useful to everyone.

Let's start with the basics. Every order you place goes through an operator review at the online store before it is sent to our warehouse. Each store has its own security requirements and triggers for verification requests. In any case, you will receive an email something like this:

“There was a problem confirming your payment information. To resolve this issue we need to verify a recent statement. To upload your statement to our secure document portal, log in to your account and follow the instructions.

The following information must be clearly displayed on the statement:

• A copy of your bank statement monthly bill which shows the last four digits of the payment method used to make this purchase, including the billing address
• Your name, phone number, and the email address registered to your account…”

Translation:
“There was a problem confirming your payment. To resolve the situation, we need to verify your documents to access the account. To upload the documents to our secure portal, please log in to your account and follow the system instructions.

The following information must be clearly visible in the uploaded documents:

• A copy of your bank statement for the current month showing the last four digits of the card number you used, as well as your billing address
• Your name, phone number, and the email address registered to your account…”

The email usually also specifies the deadline by which the documents must be provided, along with an explanation of what will happen if the deadline is missed. Most often, the order will simply be canceled. However, other scenarios are possible, such as account freezing. Therefore, you need to act quickly, and fortunately, there is nothing complicated about it.

The most important thing to understand is that receiving this message is nothing to worry about. The store does not cancel your order or charge your money; it only holds them. (Such requests are also aimed at preventing fraudulent transactions, especially for the first purchase from a new device or region). You are being asked to confirm the validity of your payment information to ensure security (primarily yours) and to prevent electronic fraud.

Attention! If you received a verification request, you must complete it if you plan to continue making purchases at this store.

What is required from you?

So, you need to provide the online store with a document confirming your current billing address. This information can be found in several bank documents, all of which are acceptable. Specifically:

• account statement showing only one specific transaction that raised the question;
• monthly statement that includes the transaction;
• copy of the account opening agreement indicating your billing address

All documents must be issued by the bank and not edited manually. The key point is that all these documents must clearly show your full name and the billing address that matches the one you provided in your account during payment.

The second item mentioned in the email is to provide your name (the same as in the online store account), the email address registered to the account, and your phone number. All of this is required to link the received bank documents to your account and avoid asking for them again in the future.

Where to get a statement or a copy of the agreement?

First, you can visit your bank branch with the following request:

“I need a statement for card No. **** for the calendar month (or: for the transaction dated ** of the current month in the amount of ** dollars/rubles). The statement must show my address and name. The statement is needed in English.”

Absolutely all banks support providing statements and other documents in English. Therefore, if you need a statement in English — request a “bank statement in English” right away, otherwise they may issue a localized version.

The second way to obtain a statement is through online banking. The algorithm for accessing statements varies by bank, so the most universal advice is to contact the bank's online chat and request a statement using the template provided above.

Sometimes the bank cannot provide a document that includes both the transaction information and the billing address on one page. That's fine. In this case, you need to provide two (or more) separate files; the important thing is that they must be issued for the same account and the same name.

If the bank does not indicate the address — check if it is possible to obtain proof of address as a separate certificate.

Where to send these documents?

The method of submitting documents is always specified in the email. Carefully read this section and make sure to send the documents using the required method. Most often, verification is requested by hypermarkets — Amazon and 6PM.

For Amazon, the standard is to send documents as attached files in a reply email. It is prohibited to send passwords or card details in it.

6PM most often asks to send documents by fax. There is no need to worry about this, even if you do not have a fax at home. You can send the message using online services, for example, MyFax.

The email may sometimes contain a link to a special upload portal (for example, via Amazon Secure Uploader). 

Is it possible not to verify the current account and just create a new one?

We strongly do not recommend doing this. The reason is that US retailers have a very smart user data matching system. They will see the duplicate of your account, no doubt about it. And when this is discovered, both accounts will be permanently blocked.

Providing the statement will not take much of your time. Complete the verification once and continue shopping without issues in the future!

We will be happy to answer any of your questions regarding verification. Contact our online chat or Tickets.

Good luck with your transactions and happy shopping!

How to Shop in American Stores with Professional Prostobox Buyers and Why You Might Need It

What Is «Shopping with Prostobox Buyers»?

Through the «Shopping with Prostobox Buyers» service, buyers purchase items in stores using your links. This can be especially relevant for stores that do not accept non-US cards for payment.

If you prefer to shop in stores on your own, simply order items to our warehouse in Delaware.

How Much Does the «Shopping with Prostobox Buyers» Service Cost?

The commission for the purchase service by operators is listed in the Services and Prices section on our website. As of December 8, 2021, the cost of purchasing from regular stores is 10% of the order value, but no less than $10 USD; purchasing from finicky stores is 15%, but no less than $15 USD.

What Is Included in the Buyer's Commission?

Carrying out the purchase of items from the store according to the order placed by the client, receiving the purchases at our warehouse in the US, and registering the received order in the client's personal account.

In addition to the cost of the items and the commission, you also pay for delivery of the package to your country according to the tariffs and chosen delivery service.

Can I Combine Items Purchased through the «Shopping with Prostobox Buyers» Service and Incoming Packages Purchased Independently in One Outgoing Package?

Yes, of course! You can place both items purchased through our buyers and incoming packages paid for independently in US stores into an outgoing package.

What Are the eBay Auction Purchase Terms?

The minimum commission for each eBay lot is 10% of the value of each lot, but no less than $10. We also charge an additional commission for participating in the auction and for the make offer option in the amount of $5 per lot. This payment is non-refundable. If the auction is canceled or the offer is not accepted, the purchase commission is refunded minus the $5 fee.

What Price Should I Specify for eBay Items if the Item Is Sold at Auction?

Enter the price you are willing to bid up to in the «Price» field on the order form.

We will raise your bid gradually using a sniper robot. For example, if the current lot price is $50 and you are willing to pay up to $100 for the lot, enter $100 in the order form. If we purchase the lot for a lower amount, the difference will be returned to your balance.

Do You Charge a Commission for Each Store in the Order?

Yes, the commission is charged for each individual store in the order.

How Do I Place an Order?

Register and add links to the items that the buyers should purchase for you. Specify the required size and color if the item offers such options, and pay for your order. You can also specify alternative sizes or colors in case the desired option is unavailable at the time of purchase.

Our professional buyers will make purchases in stores using your links in the order queue as quickly as possible.

Do Buyers Place Orders for Items with Custom Design (custom)?

Yes. You need to provide a link to an already assembled version of the item in the item addition form. Parameters such as color and size must also be specified, even if they are already included in the link.

We also recommend taking a screenshot of the product page at the final stage and providing us with a link to the screenshot in the comment for the ordered item. This will help ensure during order processing that the item is correctly placed and verify all details upon receipt at the warehouse.

Are There Stores You Do Not Work With?

Yes. See the list of stores in our «blacklist».

The reasons for stores being added to this list vary. However, it is usually the stores' desire to protect their brands from shipping to other countries, which is why they block cards and mail forwarding company addresses.

Another common reason for stores being added to this list is a poor order tracking and processing system, resulting in frequent mix-ups with ordered items. This list may also include outright unscrupulous stores.

You can try to make purchases in some of these stores yourself (using the «Virtual Address» service), but we cannot guarantee successful order processing by stores on this list. From time to time we review the list and remove certain stores (for example, if the store has changed its policy on shipping to mail forwarding company addresses).

Do You Work on a Prepayment Basis Only?

Yes, we start working on your order only after it has been fully paid.

Is There a Tax in the State Where Your Warehouse Is Located?

Our warehouse is located in the completely tax-free state of Delaware; purchases to it are not subject to tax. There is no tax on purchases to our warehouse.

How Can I Find Out the Cost of Delivery from the Store to Your Warehouse?

You can top up your balance only for the order amount + our commission. When purchasing your order, buyers will, if necessary, deduct delivery on credit from your balance. The negative balance must be settled before sending the package.

How Do I Pay for an Order?

Top up your balance for the order amount using any convenient method and pay for the order. Immediately after payment, your order is sent to a free buyer for purchase.

How Quickly Do You Purchase Orders?

Buyers are in different time zones and purchase your orders 24/7. Usually within a few hours of payment. In some cases, orders may be processed by non-Russian or European but American operators. Such orders are purchased in the afternoon, approximately from 17:00 Moscow time.

Can I Speed Up Order Purchase?

Yes, of course. To speed up order purchase during placement, select the "Purchase as soon as possible" service and pay for it. The service costs 15% of the value of items in one store or one eBay lot, but no less than $15.
Promo codes for free purchase do not apply. Orders placed at night from 22:00 to 08:00 Moscow time may not be purchased within 1-3 hours but will be purchased after 08:00 in the priority queue.

I Placed an Order with a Buyer, but Some Items Show the Status «Out of Stock». What Should I Do?

If an item is out of stock, you can replace it with a similar item or a different color (size). You can also decline replacement by removing the unavailable item from the order. In this case, funds for the canceled item will be instantly returned to your balance.

Please note that we do not wait for your replacement decision and purchase all items that are currently in stock. Therefore, please keep in mind that replacements will be purchased from stores as a separate order, which means the store may charge us delivery again, which we, in turn, will have to charge you.

If you are against possible charges in such cases, simply cancel items that are unavailable in the order.

I Placed and Paid for an Order. What Happens Next?

Approximately 4-7 business days after placing your order, the items will be delivered to our warehouse. Your order always shows different statuses: that the order has been fully or partially purchased, and that the store has partially or fully shipped the item to the warehouse.

Please note that delivery times from stores to our warehouse are approximate.

Do You Provide Tracking After the Store Ships the Order?

No, we do not provide a tracking number from the store.

The Order You Purchased Has Still Not Arrived at Your Warehouse. What Should I Do?

If more than 10 business days have passed since purchase and your order has still not arrived, please submit a ticket. Our buyers will determine the reason and, if necessary, contact the store to resolve the issue.

All Items from the Order Have Arrived at the Warehouse. What Is Required from Me?

Proceed to creating the outgoing package.

Do You Inspect Items Upon Arrival from the Store?

Through the «Shopping with Prostobox Buyers» service, we provide the purchase service and subsequent receipt of the package at the warehouse. Unfortunately, we do not verify or check the order for color, size, configuration, or under-delivery by the store. When registering a package with items purchased through operators, the list of items received in this package is indicated by warehouse operators according to the report provided by the store on shipping items in this package.

To check items received at the warehouse, you can order the photo or video service for package contents. It is arranged by clicking the camera icon next to the package (before sending the package for assembly). After submitting the request, our operators will take photos (video), and you will be able to check the contents and compliance of the received order.

Since fulfilling photo/video requests is additional work, payment is made according to the rates in the Services section.

Is Return or Exchange Possible?

Unfortunately, returns to the store and exchanges are not available for the «Shopping with Prostobox Buyers» service. The only exception is in case of mismatch between the ordered and received item or obvious defects (if detected based on ordered product photos while the package is at the warehouse).

Why Do We Recommend Buying Through Prostobox Buyers?

• Prostobox Buyers have completed specialized training and understand American shopping better than any third-party buyer.
• Prostobox is responsible for the quality of the buyer's work and takes on possible errors ourselves.

• There are multiple buyers, and they purchase orders 24/7, which is important during sales.
• Buyers speak English and can correspond and call stores.
• Buyers purchase items using US credit cards.
• Buyers have access to several additional US addresses for ordering from finicky stores.

Shopping in the USA with delivery to Russia and other countries – it’s easy and fast. The process takes minimal time: just a few simple steps.

• Choose and pay for the item in a US online store (if you have a foreign bank card);
• Ship to the mail forwarding company’s address;
• Once received at the warehouse, arrange delivery to Russia (or another country of your choice).

Many buyers have questions when filling out addresses, as there are two types:

• Shipping address – the actual address where the order will be delivered.
• Billing address – the address linked to your bank card (i.e. the actual address of the cardholder).

If there are no difficulties filling out the shipping address – simply complete all fields according to the sample personal address provided in each client’s account on our website, filling out the billing address can raise questions and difficulties. The specifics of filling out addresses are discussed below.

Example of filling out a shipping address in US stores (you can view it in your personal account):

To fill out the billing address, use the address specified in the bank agreement for issuing the card. If the card is virtual, use the address listed in the bank agreement for opening the personal account.

There are three options for filling out the billing address; each one is described below:

Filling out a real billing address in a US store

Providing a real Russian billing address when ordering from US online stores in 2025 has become extremely difficult and often leads to payment rejection. However, if the store allows this option, it is worth using it. As an example, let’s take Amazon:

All fields are filled with the real address – country, city, region, zip code, and street with house number. The only thing to remember is to always provide the US phone number issued by us in the contact phone field.

Filling out a mixed-type billing address in a US store

If the store’s address book does not include the Russian Federation or the buyer’s country, a mixed-type billing address is used. In this case: the country and state are US, while all other data match your real billing address. If it is possible to specify a Russian state, do so. The more data matches the real billing address, the better.

As an example, let’s take Zappos:

Providing a shipping address instead of a billing address

This option can also work successfully when placing an order. In this case, all data are filled in the same way as the delivery address, but be prepared for the store to request data verification (ask for a scanned copy of the bank agreement) or even cancel the order. 

Let’s look at an example from the 6 p.m. website:

Note that situations where the card is foreign but the billing address is Russian are becoming more common, especially among those who use foreign banks (for example, from Kazakhstan, Georgia, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, etc.) but live in Russia.

What to do if you have a foreign card but live in Russia:

• Provide the billing address linked to the card according to the bank’s records (even if it is Turkey, Kazakhstan, etc.).
• Do not specify Russia unless it is the address recorded by the bank.
• Try to ensure the card’s country and the country in the billing address match. 

If the store does not accept the country where your card is registered (for example, Georgia), you can try the mixed option:

• Specify the USA as the country.
• Enter the real address (street, city) from the bank agreement – even if it is Russia.

We recommend using the first two billing address options for orders in US online stores (options 1 and 2), and only if the order is canceled try entering the billing address as the shipping address (option 3); for some stores it is critical that they match.

About Carter’s

Carter’s – one of the most popular stores for moms with babies. Let’s start with the main thing: Carter’s – is not just one store, but an entire group of three brands. By registering on any of the sites, you automatically get access to all three, and the shopping cart will be shared.

Walmart – the largest online hypermarket in the USA, where you can find literally everything: from electronics and clothing to toys and cosmetics. Particularly popular with our users are electronics, children's goods, clothing for the whole family and skincare cosmetics – prices are often much lower than in Russia and other CIS countries. We explain how to order from Walmart easily and profitably through the

Many shoppers from Russia and other countries often wonder – is it possible to order from Walmart with direct delivery to Russia and other countries? The answer is simple – it is possible, but given the store's somewhat capricious nature, sometimes you have to get creative. That is why we recommend following the instructions we have provided below.

How to place an order on Walmart

1. Register on Walmart.com

Registration on Walmart is of the classic type – you need to fill in your personal details (first and last name in Latin letters, personal email and password).

2. Add a delivery address

After logging into your account, go to Account → Addresses → "Add new address". In the address book you need to fill in the Shipping address, i.e. the delivery address – each client receives it after registering on our website.

After that you need to verify the entered address and create one more – this one will be used later as the Billing address. In this case, you should be careful with the process; the filling scheme is of the mixed Billing address type (you can read more about it here). When filling it in, use the real card address details, except for the country, state and zip code.

3. Add a payment method

The next step in filling in your personal details is payment information. Enter all card details and be sure to select exactly the address that was added for the Billing address, i.e. the mixed type.

Note that the store is quite picky about accepting payments from foreign customers, so if the card payment does not go through (we recommend paying with a USD card to avoid exchange rate losses in case of order cancellation), you can try paying for the order via PayPal.

After that the principle is simple – select the desired item, add it to the cart, and proceed with the step-by-step checkout.

In Shipping and pickup options select the first option, i.e. Shipping.

For the delivery address use the warehouse address we provided you

In the payment details select the card you entered earlier, or click More to choose PayPal.

After double-checking all the details, confirm the order placement.

If for any reason you are still unable to place an order on Walmart yourself, we are always ready to help with purchasing via the «Purchase assistance» service.

Select the «SWIM SHOP» section, then «Swimwear & Beach Cover-ups» and the «Shop Girl’s Swim» category line.

All currently available collections open in front of us. On the left you can select additional filters by price, age, or cartoon character the clothing should feature. Or we can simply choose the set we like on the right.

For example, we selected the following option.

Here you can read customer reviews and, after selecting the desired color and size, add the item to the cart by clicking «Add to bag». We added the swimsuit and towel to the cart. Please note that in this store, as in many other American and European stores, personalization is available.

The store also allows combining codes if they do not exclude each other according to the promotion terms.

Check the colors, quantities and sizes and proceed to further checkout by clicking «Begin Checkout». First, enter the shipping information. Here you need to specify the Shipping Address (your virtual address with us, which you can find in the My address in the USA section).

Select a shipping method. It will determine how quickly the order arrives at our warehouse. Click the «Continue to Payment» button

The store may show you a message stating that it cannot find your suite number in the postal address database. It will then ask you to verify that the data was entered correctly. Do not worry and simply click «Use Entered Address»

In the billing address field you can also leave your virtual address details and enter your payment card information.

Later the store may request confirmation of your payment details. In that case you will need to send them an email using the template below to guest.services@disneystore.com.

Template letter indicating the real billing address:

What is Amazon Prime and why you NEED to get it

Amazon – the world’s largest online store. It has everything: from coffee and clothes to electronics and gadgets. But the main perk for frequent shoppers is the Amazon Prime subscription.

What Amazon Prime gives you in 2025:

Prime-marked items arrive at our Delaware warehouse very quickly, usually the next day. This also speeds up your delivery: the sooner the item reaches us, the sooner it ships to you.

Prime members get early access to Lightning Deals, Prime Day, and other exclusive sales. $2 shampoo, $15 sneakers, $200 discounts on electronics – all real examples.

Amazon often gives away cosmetic samples, snacks, and even newborn starter boxes. All free or with points compensation

At the moment, you are not required to create a User ID (username) during registration, as the site assigns it automatically. However, you can change your username in your profile later if you wish.

After registration, you gain access to all listings and seller data. However, in order to use all platform features, such as purchasing items and participating in auctions, you will need to complete your profile.

Previously, during registration, clients were also required to create a User ID — a username under which your account would be registered. Now the site assigns it automatically, but you still have the option to change your username in your profile.

This is the main registration step. After it, you gain access to all listings, seller data, and so on. But in order to use all marketplace features (buy items, place bids), you still need to fill in your profile details.

Completing your profile on eBay

Log in to your profile via the My eBay link in the top right corner and select the “Summary” section.

On the page that opens, select the “Account” tab and the Addresses line.

Now you need to add a Registration address and a Primary shipping address.

Registration address is your actual residential address. Enter it carefully, as eBay may use this address as a contact address. eBay may use the registration address for identity verification or tax information (in certain countries).

Primary shipping address is the main address to which your orders will be delivered (in this case, this is your virtual address with us).

Click “Create” and start filling out the form. Remember that all data must be entered strictly in Latin characters (English letters).

Enter and save the address details.

After that, all that remains is to link a PayPal account to your account. If you don't have such an account, you can see how to create one in our other guide — Registration in PayPal.

In the same Account tab, select PayPal Account.

eBay may now offer to add a bank card or account directly, without PayPal — this depends on the country of residence and the seller's category.

If you already have a PayPal account, click Link My PayPal Account, and on the page that opens, enter the email address linked to your PayPal payment system and the password to log in. After that, clicking Link Your Account essentially completes the linking process.

If you don't have such an account, click the Sign up button and start the PayPal registration process on the page that opens. Once you finish linking your PayPal account, your eBay account is ready to use and you can begin making purchases.
