1. Better Pricing
   The pricing in the USA is often better that that available in your home country.
2. Not available in your country
   Many USA retailers will limit availability of certain items, colors, sizes, etc... in other countries and make them only available in the USA.
3. US Retailers Will Not Ship Overseas
   Most US retailers will not allow their products to be shipped to other countries from the USA by their distributors.  The primary reason for this is to maintain control of the retail pricing for their products in other countries.

How can I save even more when shopping in the USA?

Many USA stores pack their merchandise inefficiently, resulting in substantially higher shipping costs for international customers.  There are also other things to know when shopping USA retailers. To save the most at USA stores, follow these tips:

1. Always use your BuyShipUSA address as the "Ship To" address.  Many merchants offer free shipping to US addresses.
2. Check to see if there are any coupons or discount codes available with the online retailers for the products you are interested in buying.
3. Be sure to read the ratings and reviews of sellers.
4. Consolidate several of your packages into one package at BuyShipUSA's warehouse and save a bundle!
5. It may be possible to repackage a large box into a smaller one, check with customer support to see if this is an option for you.
6. Consider rebates; sometimes manufacturers offer rebates after the product is purchased.
7. If you are unsure about a seller or retailer, check with the Better Business Bureau.
8. Shop around! Check different websites for the same product.
9. Create a separate email address for shopping, so your email doesn't get bogged down with advertisements.
10. Check the BuyShipUSA Facebook and Twitter pages for deals!

BuyShipUSA will help you return an item to your USA online retailer before it leaves the USA.  It will be much more expensive to return the item once the package has shipped from the USA.

You need to check the Merchant's return policies and possibly obtain a 'return authorization' reference number and possibly also a returns label.  BuyShipUSA can assist you in arranging the return shipment.

For domestic returns:
"Domestic returns" refers to returns from our warehouse in the USA.

BuyShipUSA charges an administrative handling fee of $20 USD plus the cost of domestic shipping if you are unable to provide a return label.  Payment will need to be made by credit card before the shipment can be returned.

No, it is illegal for you and/or the retailer to describe the goods as a "gift" to avoid duties and taxes.  Be aware of the legal problems it could create for you, the retailers and BuyShipUSA.

You are the "Importer" of the goods and responsible for accurate statements describing the goods and their respective value.  Duty and taxes are based on these descriptions.  We may be required to terminate your account if we become aware of an intentional undervaluation on your part.

Our Customer Service team will be glad to guide you if you still have doubts on this serious matter.

The company or online retailer where you purchased the items, (ex. amazon.com, victoriasecret.com, bestbuy.com, etc...).

Are there any restrictions on which products I can buy and ship?
BuyShipUSA does not handle any "dangerous goods" of any kind.

Please refer to UPS’s Dangerous & Restricted Goods Policy here to see if your product(s) have restrictions.

Some product(s) may also be illegal in your country.  Please contact local customs if you are unsure.

Please note that BuyShipUSA cannot refund customers if local customs decides to confiscate or dispose of an item.

1. What is the difference between restricted and prohibited items?

Prohibited Items: If an item is prohibited in your country or for export from the United States, we cannot ship it to you.  If you are not sure if an item is prohibited, please contact us before ordering.  If we receive an item we cannot ship to you, BuyShipUSA may be unable to ship it to any address, including back to the sender.  In some cases, we may be required to dispose of it in a US disposal facility.

Restricted Items: Some restricted items can be shipped, but only after the BuyShipUSA inspects and verifies that the products are in compliance with US export laws.  An inspection fee will apply and will delay the shipment of the product up to a period of 3 days.  If you have questions about shipping a restricted item, please contact customer support BEFORE shipping the item to your BuyShipUSA account.

Please review our list of prohibited and restricted items in our FAQ before you shop.

2. What is considered dangerous goods or hazardous material?

Dangerous goods/hazardous materials are items that require special handling, additional packaging and labeling to be transported internationally.

These items may or may not be allowed to ship to your country. Shipping dangerous goods is country-specific, and may also depend on the courier you choose, including DHL or Fedex.  USPS or UPS cannot ship dangerous goods.  Even if your country allows the import of an item, the carrier may not be licensed to handle and transport dangerous goods.

Items considered to be dangerous goods include: flammable items or items under pressure (e.g., hairspray, spray paint, lighters, nail polish and perfume).  Dangerous goods items may be required to ship separately from non-dangerous goods items.

Please view our restricted and prohibited items list for more information, or contact us for specific information regarding your country and the items you wish to ship.

3. Are there exceptions to export restrictions for laboratory, medical or research use?

No.  BuyShipUSA cannot export prescription medications, controlled substances or human growth hormones of any kind, for any reason.

BuyShipUSA cannot export assays, peptides, biological media and animal, veterinary or human vaccines.  If BuyShipUSA receives a package containing these items, US regulations require BuyShipUSA to dispose of the items in a local disposal facility.  BuyShipUSA cannot ship these items to any address, including back to the sender.

4. Can you export agricultural Items like plants, seeds and soil?

BuyShipUSA can ship agricultural items for you if they meet US export requirements, and your country’s customs office allows them to be imported.  Please make sure your agricultural products are properly labeled, including their genus, species and country of origin.  The labeling requirement also applies to individual seed packets.  We cannot ship or store any items we cannot identify, or are not properly labeled.

BuyShipUSA also cannot accept foreign seeds or plants that are not properly imported into the US.  These items will be removed from your account upon receipt and properly discarded.

Please contact your local customs office to inquire about local import regulations, and contact us with a link to the item so we can determine if we can export the items for you.

5. Can you export controlled substances?

No.  BuyShipUSA cannot export controlled substances or any item that contains controlled substances.  Please do not ship controlled substances to your BuyShipUSA account.

A controlled substance is any drug that is illegal or restricted for sale in the United States, even if it is readily available in your own country. Examples of controlled substances include Sudafed and Marijuana.

6. Can you export lithium batteries?

Yes.  However, lithium batteries may be subject to additional regulations, and we may be unable to export them to certain countries.  In some cases, lithium metal and lithium-ion batteries may be subject to a Dangerous Goods handling fee.

Due to the potential fire danger, lithium ion and lithium metal batteries are heavily regulated for air transport.  The regulations are extremely complex and can vary by country, and even by courier.  The size of the battery, how it is packaged, and if it is pre-installed in an electronic device also play a role in the regulations and restrictions.

Our team of trained specialists can arrange for export of most lithium batteries and electronic devices containing these batteries.  For assistance determining if BuyShipUSA can export lithium batteries and electronic devices containing these batteries to your country, please contact customer support.

7. Can you export non-prescription or over-the-counter medications?

BuyShipUSA can export most over-the-counter medications, providing they arrive in original packaging and may be distributed within the United States.  To comply with US Food and Drug Administration guidelines, all medications must be indicated in your documentation and our logistics team will need open the package and verify to ensure they can be distributed.  There will be additional handling costs associated with this process and a potential time delay as the package will have to be manually processed.

Please Note: US government regulations prohibit BuyShipUSA from exporting any non-prescription or over-the-counter medication that originated from a merchant outside the United States.

8. Can you export police or military style items?

No.  BuyShipUSA will not export any product that appears to be related to police, government or military activity. Common items include, but are not limited to:

1. Badges
2. Body armor
3. Protective clothing containing body armor
4. Police batons
5. Handcuffs
6. Surveillance equipment

Please see our list of prohibited items for more information.  If you are unsure whether a product is considered a police or military item, please contact customer support for assistance.

9. Do you charge a fee for handling dangerous goods or hazardous materials?

Yes, there is a per-shipment handling fee to properly package and label dangerous goods.  The fee is 10% of the total value of the "dangerous goods," with a minimum cost of $20 USD.

If lithium batteries are involved and they are uninstalled, then a fee of 10% of the total value of the item is applied, with a minimum cost of $20 USD.

If a lithium battery is installed, there is only a $2 USD handling fee to properly label and package the shipment.

Please note: Dangerous goods may need to ship separately from non-dangerous goods.

2. Ammunition clips or magazines

13. BuyShipUSA will not ship any counterfeit merchandise.

BuyShipUSA cannot export counterfeit, bootleg or knockoff items.  If BuyShipUSA receives an item that does not appear to be authentic, we will notify you by email and refer the item to our trade compliance team to verify its authenticity.

If the item is counterfeit and came from a merchant in the US and the merchant provided a return label, we can help you return the item.  If the merchant did not provide a return label, or if the merchant will not accept a return, we must discard the item.  BuyShipUSA cannot ship counterfeit items to anyone other than the original seller, including individuals in the USA.

If you are receiving a product that is fragile or you are worried that international shipping may damage your product, then repacking may be a good idea.  Depending on the size and shape of the product, we can provide additional protection for your purchase through our repacking service.  Please see our pricing page here for further information.

If the package has a high volumetric weight (see our FAQ What is Volumetric Weight?) we can repack it into smaller packages to reduce their volume and therefore lower the shipping charges.

Actual weight is the weight of the package when put on a scale.

The dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying (in inches) the length x width x height of a package and dividing the result by the industry DIM factor which is 139.  The formula is: L x W x H/139 = Dimensional Weight.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, AmericanExpress and PayPal.  We hope to offer more payment options in the near future.

All fees for BuyShipUSA are charged in United States $ (USD).

Absolutely.  BuyShipUSA is fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).  We are PCI certified by the credit card industry.  All of our user’s personal information is strictly confidential and will only be accessed with their authorization.

The security code, commonly known as the “card verification code” (CVC) or “card verification value” (CVV), is a special three or four digit code printed on the front or back of your credit card.  Banks commonly use this code to prevent fraud and some banks may decline transactions that do not include this code.

UPS, DHL or local customs will invoice you seperately for these charges.  BuyShipUSA will provide UPS and DHL with the description and total invoice amounts that you provide when you ship your package(s).  If the description or invoice amounts are incorrectly stated, then you may incur additional charges by local customs authorities in your home country.  To determine the costs of these charges please reach out to your local customs office.

Yes, all shipments from BuyShipUSA are insured for the declared value of the item(s) up to $100 USD.  Additional shipping insurance can be purchased for $2.50 USD per $100 USD of insured value.  For example, if your package has a declared value of $300 USD and you want to fully insure this purchase, you would only need to purchase an additional $200 USD worth of insurance for a total of $5 USD.  Your package is now insured for the total $300 USD.

While damaged or lost packages are rare, we recommend fully insuring each shipment to the full declared value in the unlikely event that something does happen to your package(s).  In the event your shipment is damaged upon delivery or lost, BuyShipUSA customer support can assist you with the claims process.

If your shipment is not delivered, or if items are missing or damaged, contact customer support immediately to begin the claims process.
