Tips on Parcel Forwarding
【Step 1】Shop Online on Overseas Website and Fill in Warehouse Address
Buyandship has a total of 13 warehouses around the world. Visit and shop on your favourite overseas websites, and fill in the Buyandship overseas warehouse address in the order information column for delivery information when placing an order.
- The first and last name must be filled in with your unique Buyandship member ID (e.g. SGXXXXXX). If the name cannot be filled in the member ID, it can be filled in the address bar. Parcel without member ID will not being recorded at our warehouse and system! So please make sure you have filled that in!
- For existing Buyandship users, regardless of whether you’ve filled in our warehouse address previously for your shopping, you are advised to double check the receiving address and zip code before checkout to ensure you have filled in the latest Warehouse address listed on our “Warehouses” page.
Keep in mind the items under the “Prohibited Items Catalog” before shopping.
【Step 2】Declare Your Shipments
After receiving the delivery email from the store, please go to the Buyandship website to log in to your member center and declare the shipment. Information like tracking number and the value of your shipments is needed.
- Due to the expected volume increase in warehouse during Black Friday, we might not be able to process parcels on the day of receipt. Staff at warehouse will arrange processing 2-3 days after the shipment arrives at the warehouse. Please be noted that Buyandship will prioritize shipments which have declared on time.
- If the shipment is not declared before arriving at the warehouse, the non-declaration notice will be sent to you within 2-3 days after the warehouse receives the shipment. Shipment will only be processed after receiving your declaration.
- As soon as you have received a tracking number, remember to declare it immediately to prevent delay! It is expected that the delivery time and air delivery will be affected during Black Friday. Generally, it takes 3 working days for the delivery of goods to be arranged for delivery (for US and Japan warehouses). In addition, the large increase in cargo volume and the pandemic have reduced or delayed most flights. In the case of waiting, it may take an additional 2-7 days for the shipment to reach to Hong Kong warehouse.
Tips: Declare the shipment in advance to make the whole process faster!
