We launched a survey last month and we had a lot of comments saying that there are some sites users are having problem shopping in~ we listened and we want to serve you even better so we are excited to announce this new buying service to help make it easier for your overseas online shopping experience: Buyforyou.
Buyforyou is a buying service for our members who cannot buy using their credit cards in the US and Hong Kong stores. There are some stores that do not allow foreign credit cards, may need mobile OTP, or have complicated checkout protocols, now you can use Buyforyou! Check it on your member dashboard in the toggle menu or in the member center.
There is a 6% service fee for Buyforyou after it is approved by you. You will see the breakdown before checking out your order. You can submit your requests on your dashboard~ Check out this simple step-by-step guide on how to use Buyforyou.
