PalShopping

Someone you trust,
shopping where you can't.

Pick a country, choose a certified buyer — your Pal on the ground — and send your product list. Your money sits in escrow until the parcel arrives — then you release it.

How a request works

1

Pick your buyer

Filter by country, compare rating, service fee, ETA and size limits.

2

Send the product list

Item, size, quantity, budget and links. The buyer quotes delivery price and ETA.

3

Money held in escrow

You fund the order; the buyer only purchases once funds are secured.

4

Release on delivery

Check the parcel, release payment. Buyer gets paid, we keep a small cut.

If something goes wrong, you don't lose your money

Your payment sits with us — not the buyer — until the parcel is in your hands. Here is exactly what happens in the bad cases.

What you actually pay

One honest total, up front. Example for a $100 item bought in Japan and shipped to the United States:

Item price
$100.00
Buyer service fee (8%)
$8.00
Delivery
$18.00
Platform fee (4%)
$4.32
Est. import duty & tax
usually $0
Estimated total
$130.32

Import duty and tax are not prepaid — customs or the delivery carrier collects them from you when the parcel arrives, and the estimate above is a rough range, not a quote.
