Get International Shipping From Best Buy USA – Here is How

Step #1: Sign Up with Planet Express

There are 3 ways how you can shop from the US Best Buy store if you live outside of the US:

1. Find someone who orders from Best Buy for you which is very time consuming and risky.2. Fly to the US and shop in Best Buy there. The downside is obvious – it will probably be very expensive.3. (Recommended) Use a ‘Shop For Me‘ service so we take care of the purchase for you (the whole process is described in 2nd step).

Before you can take advantage of the Planet Express Shop For Me service, you have to sign up. Here is how to do that:

Besides Shop For Me service, you can also take advantage of the free Californian address, package consolidation, sales-tax-free warehouse, and much more.

Step #2: Let Us Shop For You At Best Buy

Once you activate your Planet Express address, you will be able to place the Shop For Me request. There are 2 main benefits of this service:

1. You can pay us for the order with a foreign credit card (read more), or whatever payment method that suits you best. ✅ 2. Some US online stores like Best Buy don’t ship to addresses provided by package forwarding companies. Shop For Me service solves this limitation.

Place the Shop For Me Order

To place a new shop for me order, please, log into your account, go to the Shop For Me tab and add NEW PURCHASE.

Now, make sure you fill in all the necessary details about the product you want to order (if you want to order more products, you can just repeat the process of adding a new item). We ordered Apple iPad (Latest Model) 32 GB as an example (do you want to shop from Apple.com instead? Check our Apple guide):

Feel free to keep open the tab with the product. You can copy and paste some details about the product to our Shop For Me order form.

Confirm adding a new product by clicking the ADD NEW ITEM button. It will appear in the Shopping list. Once you add the items, complete the additional details about the online store (in our case BestBuy.com). If you have some discount coupons, let us know its details in the note field so our shoppers can use them (if you don’t maybe you can find some on best deals sites).

Last, but not least, make sure you include the price of the shipping from the online store to our warehouse address and the sales tax* (sales tax is usually calculated based on the delivery address when adding the product to your shopping cart). Finish the order with the FINISH ORDER button.
