Private Warehouse Service
What is Private Warehouse Service?
A Private Warehouse Service is also known as Proxy Purchase Service or also known as a Proxy Buying Service or Proxy Shopping Service, is a service that allows individuals or businesses to make purchases on behalf of someone else. It is commonly used for cross-border shopping, where individuals want to buy products from foreign countries but may face challenges due to language barriers, payment methods, shipping restrictions, or lack of access to local online marketplaces.
How Proxy Purchase Services Work:
-
Request and Details: The person who wants to buy products from a foreign country (the requester) contacts the Proxy Purchase Service provider and provides details of the items they want to purchase. This may include the product name, quantity, size, color, and any other relevant information.
-
Quotation and Payment: The service provider then provides the requester with a quotation, which includes the cost of the items, any applicable fees (such as service fees, shipping, and handling charges), and the total amount to be paid. The requester makes the payment to the service provider.
-
Order Placement: After receiving the payment, the Proxy Purchase Service provider places the order on behalf of the requester with the foreign retailer or online marketplace.
-
Delivery or Pickup: Once the order is successfully placed, the service provider arranges for the delivery of the purchased items to the requester's address. In some cases, the requester may need to pick up the items from a designated location.
-
Confirmation and Receipt: Upon receiving the items, the requester confirms the receipt and checks that the correct items were purchased. If there are any issues, the service provider assists in resolving them with the retailer or marketplace.
Benefits of Proxy Purchase Services:
-
Access to International Markets: Proxy Purchase Services allow individuals to access products and brands that may not be available in their local markets.
-
Overcoming Language Barriers: The service provider helps navigate language barriers and communicates with the foreign retailer or marketplace on behalf of the requester.
-
Payment Assistance: Proxy Purchase Services often accept a wide range of payment methods, making it easier for the requester to pay for the items in their preferred currency.
-
Consolidation and Forwarding: Some services offer consolidation of multiple purchases into one shipment, potentially reducing shipping costs.
-
Expertise in Import Regulations: Service providers may have expertise in navigating import regulations and customs procedures, ensuring a smooth delivery process.

Some shipping carriers may have size or weight restrictions for consolidated packages, and certain items may be prohibited or restricted for international shipping. Therefore, it's advisable to check with us and familiarize yourself with any relevant regulations before proceeding with own box consolidation.
