Some U.S. online stores do not accept foreign credit cards or require a U.S. shipping address. With our assisted purchase (shop for me) service, we buy the items for you using our U.S. credit card, receive them at our U.S. warehouse and forward them to your address, whether you live in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Australia, the UK or Angola.
Send us the product link, description and details through the Assisted Purchase Request form. Our team confirms availability and completes the checkout with our U.S. payment methods. Your order arrives at our U.S. warehouse, where it is inspected, unnecessary packaging is removed and multiple purchases are combined. You then choose a shipping option and receive your products with tracking.
For a standard assisted purchase request, the processing fee is 5% of your order’s cost, with a minimum of $5. For an expedited request, it is 10% of the order cost, with a minimum of $10. International shipping is charged separately and depends on your country and the weight and dimensions of your final box.
Some stores, such as Sephora, ULTA and Coach, do not ship to package forwarding companies. In that case we provide a special address instead of our warehouse address through an executive assisted purchase request. The fee is $10 for the special address plus 10% of your order’s cost as a processing fee.
No. There is no spending limit for assisted purchase requests, so our buy for me USA service suits orders of any size. If your request is for more than $800, you can pay by bank wire transfer. You can also buy unlimited items at a time when they come from the same store.
If your assisted purchase order is cancelled for any reason, the amount you transferred to us is added back to your Global Shopaholics wallet. You can then withdraw that balance or keep it in your wallet to use for future shipments. Global Shopaholics has no hidden charges, and we are upfront about all our fees.
