If I don't live in the USA...

Dominican hair products

As far as the hair products, products for nails, perfumes, jewelry, and (some of) the shoes, I am a sales agent for Amazon.com, which is a USA company that sells everything you can think over the Internet. It is very convenient for orders within the USA, but ordering for delivery to other countries can be more difficult. [If you are only interested in ordering shoes, please go to HERE.]

In this page I explain how to order products from Amazon.com for delivery to different countries. I don't know where to find stores that sell these products in different parts of the world. Nor can I buy them for you and send them to you personally. I am not a wholesaler or a distributor, I can't sell the products in bulk at a discount; for more about that please see my Frequently Asked Questions page.

The first time you make an order is the most difficult because you have create an account for yourself on Amazon.com or Endless.com (it's the same account for both sites) and then, if you don't live in the USA, you might also have to sign up with a package forwarding service. But once you have done these things, you don't have to do them again; you can order whenever you wish just as easily as if you were in the USA.

First of all, before you can shop at Amazon.com or Endless.com or any other website, you need an electronic mail address (email, e-mail). If you don't have an email address, you can get one for free at Google (gmail), MSN (Hotmail), Yahoo, AOL, and lots of other sites.

1. Payment...  2. Language...  3. Shipping...  4. Shopping...  5. Questions... 

1. Payment

To shop at Amazon, you need a Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover, Diners Club credit card (or a debit card that acts as a credit card). Note: There is also an Amazon Visa, which you will be offered every time you buy something, but the application says “You must be a U.S. resident to apply”.

If you don't have a credit card, the easiest thing will be to ask a friend or relative who has one, and who also has an Amazon account, to place an order for you. Once you have credit card and email, come back here and learn how to order for yourself!

Payment is in US Dollars (USD). Amazon.com doesn't care if your credit card is registered in a USA bank or in a bank in another country. If the bank is not in the USA, it will convert the price of the items you buy from dollars into your local currency (perhaps deducting a fee for doing this). In some cases, however, such as in Venezuela, there are limits on the amount of local currency you can convert to dollars.

To convert from US dollars to your local currency, you can use an Internet currency converter such as the one at xe.com:

2. Language

Amazon.com and Endless.com are English-language websites. They do not present themselves in Spanish or any other language. If you speak Spanish, I have pages that will teach you how to use Amazon and Endless, please go HERE for Amazon or HERE for Endless. If you speak English, the Amazon and Endless pages should be self-explanatory.

Amazon, but not Endless, does have sites in some other countries like France, Germany, Japan, and now Spain, but those sites do not sell the same things as Amazon.com, which is in the USA. I have no experience ordering from those Amazon sites, but of course you can look at them to see if they have something you need that is not available from Amazon.com, or that can be shipped to you more easily. If you have registered with Amazon.com, you can sign in to any of these other sites except the one in Japan.

3. International Shipping

Unless stated otherwise on the page of a particular product, Amazon ships all products to all states and territories of the USA, including Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands and to APO, FPO, and DPO addresses (overseas US military and diplomatic installations). Certain items can also be shipped internationally:

  • Books, CDs, and DVDs can be ordered from and shipped to just about any country on earth.
  • Any item that is shipped by an Amazon affiliate company rather than Amazon itself will be shipped to whatever countries the affiliate company ships to (on the Amazon product page, under Product Details, click on “View shipping rates and policies”).
In addition Amazon.com has an Amazon Global program that ships certain items to certain countries directly:

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom. Health and personal care / beauty, shoes, clothing, some consumer electronics, home and garden, jewelry, pet supplies, software, sporting goods, tools, video games, watches. Amazon Global

Here you can buy anything that Amazon ships globally without having to use a package forwarding service.

In all other cases, you will need to sign up with a package forwarding service in order to order from Amazon.com, as I describe HERE. These services give you a USA address; Amazon ships your order to that address, which is really the address of the package forwarding service, and the package forwarding service sends the package to you in your country.

One more thing, though: you might have to register your USA shipping address with your bank as a secondary billing address for your credit card, because:

  • Some companies (but not Amazon) require that your credit card have a USA billing address; or:
  • If the shipping and billing address don't agree, the company (or the bank) might suspect fraud and freeze the order.

Having signed up with a package forwarder, now you can order from any site on the Internet, not just Amazon but also Endless.com, eBay, Target, Victoria's Secret, Gap, Old Navy, Staples, Bebe, whatever you want, whenever you want. You just put your USA address as the shipping address, and the forwarding service does the rest.

The shipping cost and delivery time depend on:

  • The product itself; each product has its own shipping fees and schedules;
  • The delivery option you choose at Amazon (regular, 2-day, overnight);
  • The policies and procedures of your package forwarding service;
  • The import policies and procedures of your country.

WARNINGS: If Amazon.com doesn't ship a certain product to your country, it might (or might not) be for a reason. For items such as computers, laptops, cell phones, and other electronics or devices, the warranty or guarantee might not be valid outside the USA. Also, such products might not be compatible with the electrical service or radio frequency allocations or digital formats of your country. Some items might not be permitted under the export laws of the USA or the import laws of your country, or there might be customs duties to pay.

4. Shopping

Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens Here are my shopping pages; each one comes in a Spanish and an English version. Please don't ask me for a catalog or a price list; I don't have one. Inventories change every day, and so do prices. When you see an image of a product (like the one on the left), you can click on it; this takes you to the Amazon page for that product, where you can see the price, get more information about it, and order it if you wish.
