Order from anywhere in the world

I wanted a dog back seat cover from Korean. I tried to order it from there website and they wouldn't let me as I live in Australia then I found buy and ship. What an amazing service. You give them the link and price of what you want and they get it for you. I was skeptical that it was real but I can say 100% you will get what you want. It may take a couple weeks. I requested the iteam on 1/2/26 and it arrived 19/2/26
You pay for the product then shipping on top so note shipping is $28AUD for the first 2 pounds then $12AUD for every 1 pound afterwards so can get expensive if you have a heavy iteam. For me it was worth it to get a very high quality iteam that I couldn't get in Australia.
Great job thank you so much

Inflexible & Poor Customer Service

You get your parcel, but they are quite rigid and unhelpful. You can’t ask for your order to be weighed at the initial warehouse, weighing is only done at the HK warehouse which is quite unhelpful during a sale period where you have to make quick purchase decisions.

The customer service team in particular Jackie is also very unhelpful or can’t be bothered, takes a very long time to reply and just copy and paste previous answers without reading questions. Should replace that person for better customer service.

BNS protection is a scam - LOST PARCEL NO COMPENSATION

BNS protection is a scam. My shipment from UPS has arrived at BNS US warehouse 2 weeks ago, and it is nowhere to be found. Messaged customer service a dozen times and all they would reply is “checking”. BNS would not honor its obligation of compensating for lost parcel. I am coordinating with other local victims to file joint police report for BNS’s commercial fraud. AVOID AT ALL COST.

Update: BNS said it was UPS’s fault (despite UPS’s website’s proof of delivery) and refused to make compensation. This is absolutely ridiculous and definitely a scam.

Hi Sjfl,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the issue with your shipment—we know how frustrating that can be.
After reviewing your case, our records show that the order was placed with Parachute Home and shipped directly by them via UPS. That means we don't have the authority to investigate and file a claim with the carrier on your behalf. All we can confirm is that the parcel never arrived at our warehouse.

Our customer service team explained this in the reply sent to you on 18 December and advised you to contact the seller directly so they could investigate the shipment with UPS.

According to Parachute Home's delivery policy, if a package is marked as delivered but you haven't received it, they recommend waiting a few days (carriers sometimes scan it early) and then reporting the issue to their Customer Experience team within 30 days of shipment.

We'd recommend contacting Parachute Home so they can look into it and help with any claim or replacement. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there's anything else we can help with. Thanks again for your patience.

Extremely slow support and unclear process left time-sensitive parcels stuck

Based on my personal experience, Buyandship’s customer support response time is extremely slow, which became a serious problem for a time-sensitive shipment.

Several parcels were automatically forwarded from the US warehouse to the Hong Kong warehouse, and only after this auto-forwarding did I learn that the items (perfumes) were considered regulated / prohibited for onward shipment. There was no clear warning or system block before forwarding, which resulted in the parcels being stuck and placed the burden on the customer to resolve an issue created by the process itself.

I contacted customer service to clarify what options were actually available, including whether self-collection was possible and what the exact requirements were. Despite these being straightforward questions, responses consistently took many hours to over a full day, even when marked as active.

Replies were often generic or only partially answered, leading to repeated back-and-forth over multiple days. As of writing, I still do not have clear, complete answers, and the situation remains unresolved.

What makes this especially frustrating is that the in-app messaging states a typical response time of around one hour, which does not reflect reality. There were also instances where customer service agents appeared online, yet messages remained unanswered for long periods. There is also no clear escalation path for urgent cases.

While perfumes are listed as regulated items, the lack of clear, proactive communication before auto-forwarding, combined with extremely slow follow-up support, caused unnecessary delay, uncertainty, and disruption.

For a logistics service handling customers’ parcels and money, this level of response time and lack of clarity is unacceptable. Faster responses, clearer upfront warnings, and proper handling of time-sensitive issues are urgently needed.

Update: Buyandship has since resolved the issues related to my shipments. While I appreciate the eventual resolution, the process involved prolonged delays and slow communication before things were clarified. I’ve updated the rating to reflect that the matter was ultimately resolved, but there is still room for improvement in response time and upfront clarity.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry that your experience did not go as smoothly as we had hoped.

Since all of our parcels travel by air, perfumes are classified as flammable and are strictly prohibited on flights. That is why they are always included on our prohibited items list (you may view the full list here: https://www.buyandship.com.sg/restrictions/#all).

At the moment, our system is unable to automatically detect prohibited items when members submit product links. However, it’s something we’re actively looking into adding in future.

Our customer support team operates from Monday through Saturday, and we are doing our best to respond to all inquiries as quickly as possible. Regarding your case, our customer service representative will reach out to you shortly to discuss the pick-up arrangements.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything else we can assist you with. Thank you once again for your patience and understanding.

Used mercari proxy service but got issue with wrong item received, contacted with customer service but they only can blacklist and no compensation. Please reconsider when purchasing high value item through mercari proxy service. Try to find reputable seller on other platform or other method beside using the mercari proxy service by Buy&Ship

Hi Afiq,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t go as smoothly as we’d hoped.

Mercari is a C2C marketplace, which means the quality and condition of items can vary and aren’t guaranteed by us. That’s why we display clear warning and ask for your confirmation before you complete the purchase. By doing so, we believe we’ve fulfilled our responsibility to make you aware of this before the transaction.

We completely understand how frustrating this must be for you. That's why we've already escalated the situation to Mercari and asked them to take action against the seller.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can help you with.

Hidden fees and Slow Delivery

Used the buy for me option. From the time they received the goods from the merchant till I received it - took 14 days. It sat in their warehouse for days before being routed through HK.

Paid 6% service fee for the buying service, THEN billed another $ for shipping. And finally when it reached the local courier, was billed ANOTHER $ for local delivery, which included a flat $20 processing fee + import tax. 3 separate bills, the last of which was not through Buy&Ship but direct to the courier service.

Costs were not upfront and coupled with the super slow shipment (I had other purchases from China which was further away and reach me within 3 days, shipped direct), makes their service difficult to recommend.

I would only use their service again if I had no other options.

Hi Jason,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate it and are sorry to hear that your recent experience didn’t meet your expectations.

For clarity on the fees, all our charges are listed transparently on our website (https://www.buyandship.com.sg/features/proxy-shopping/) under the “How Does Buy&Ship Charge?” section. The S$20 you were charged is solely the processing fee that the last-mile courier is required to collect. Separately, the GST was applied in accordance with Singapore government regulations, which mandate GST on shipments with a declared value of S$400 or above. We always recommend checking the GST details on our website (https://www.buyandship.com.sg/taxation/) before shipping.

Regarding the delivery process, all parcels are first routed to our Hong Kong warehouse for consolidation. Once consolidation is complete, we normally hand the shipment over to our last-mile delivery partner within 1–2 business days.

Our customer support team is always here to help. If you have any further questions or need anything clarified, please don’t hesitate to reach out via live chat on our website — we’d be happy to help and make your next experience a much smoother one.

0 stars! Extremely Disappointing Experience. Would Never Recommend.

Terrible experience with Buy&Ship. They received my order at their US warehouse on Nov 10, and it was consolidated at their HK warehouse on Nov 18, then packed on Nov 19. It’s now Nov 28, and my shipment STILL hasn’t been dispatched.

Their customer service has been completely unhelpful. Instead of providing a clear explanation of what’s causing the delay, they just keep repeating that it “should only take 1–2 working days” after consolidation to ship out. Clearly, that’s not the case.

This has been incredibly frustrating, especially since my purchase was quite large. Be very careful using their service—especially for high-value items. Based on this experience, I would never recommend Buy&Ship and will never use them again. 😡

Hi Charles,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the delay in dispatching your order.

Recently, we identified that our previous last-mile logistics partner was underperforming. To ensure your parcel is delivered safely and on time, we have transitioned some shipments to a new and more reliable logistics partner.

This change required a few days to finalize the updated processes and workflows, which unfortunately led to the delay in your shipment.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition. We’re pleased to confirm that your order will be dispatched today.

Thank you once again for your kind understanding and continued trust in us.

SOLID EXPERIENCE

Wanted to buy a specific Alpinestars bag, which I couldn’t find anywhere from my local shops in Singapore. And Alpinestars couldn’t ship to Singapore. So I decided to use their forwarding service. Which I would say its a pleasent experience as it was easy to request items. And delivery timing wasn’t too bad which is a plus. Will definitely engage their services if I want to purchase stuff from Europe.

Questionable service

I requested for two books to be purchased and paid the full amount including shipping. However, only one book came during delivery. Customer service is slow and unresponsive when asked for a reason (e.g. whether buyer did not purchase or the parcel got lost) and a refund for only the item that was not fufilled. It's been near a month of waiting.

Customer service keep saying they will get back and asked for photos only after a week of the reported incident. Since then have waited for another 4 weeks for an update.

Company messed up my order with another customer's order, which resulted in 3 weeks of delay and stress - having to post the items to the other customer and keep pressuring the other customer to send me my items. Company also failed to provide tracking number via the app until I reached out to customer service. App only updated the tracking number after the parcel arrived.

Company failed to deliver upon compensations they themselves proposed. Company has zero accountability, and has terrible services. Customer service also responded very slowly. Only way to get in touch with human customer service is via email or the app chat, no calls available.

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for your feedback. We're truly sorry that your experience fell short of expectations. It appears our warehouse team accidentally swapped the labels, and unfortunately the parcel had already shipped to the UK before we caught the mistake.

Although your parcels have now arrived safely, we are truly sorry for the delay and sincerely thank you for your patience while we coordinated with the other parties involved. As a heartfelt apology, we’ve added some credits to your account to help make up for the inconvenience.

Since our team is based in the Asia-Pacific region, there may be times when our responses don’t align perfectly with your time zone. Rest assured, we’re doing our very best to reply as quickly as possible during our office hours.

If you need any further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out via the live chat on our website. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Four weeks to forward item, 4 weeks to ship, terrible customer service

I made a high value purchase to be forwarded by these guys from HK to Australia. It took them four weeks to process it and have it released to the courier. They also didn't provide the forms to the courier Aramex, which delayed it another three weeks.

Their customer service system is slow and unsupportive.

I have used many drop ship services before, most are great. This was the first one I’ve used in Hong Kong. These guys are useless. They have one job - get something and forward it.

My strong advice - use a different service.

Items stolen and no compensation provided

For anyone considering using Buy&Ship for freight forwarding, please read this first. I have valuables that were stolen from within their network, and the company is refusing to take any responsibility.

I have been using them for 2 years. So far no issues. Customer service personnels are also quick and prompt to address any concern. I’ve tried many but this may be the best forwarder yet. Totally deserving of 5 stars and beyond

I lost my package since they partnered with the third party in the philippines namely ninjavan. I am having a hard time coordinating with them all throughout my complaints that my package might be lost to the point where it was declared lost. If they will still partner with ninjavan philippines better do not ship with them as your hard earned money will be lost.

Was a loyal customer for 2 years but since they partnered Ninjavan I lost 4 parcels

I've a shipment that has been marked as packed for a week with no other updates. The other 2 packages I consolidated at the same time so far via Jump Point have already been received by me. Asked CS what's the status of my shipment and they keep asking me for product purchase screenshots, product tracking numbers, but I don't see how they need it when all my 10 parcels are already packed and has a tracking number generated and has cleared customs already. Unless you're telling me all my 10 parcels are still separately landing in my country one by one before they tag the shipment tracking number to it, which makes no bloody sense. I'm going in circles puking blood talking to CS and all I want to know is where is my shipment, not my individual parcels (those are already inside the damn shipment). Why do you need all 10 product details and tracking numbers to locate my packed shipment? Unless it's not been packed at all? I'm going to treat the shipment as missing if it still has no updates after another week.

Update: They indeed lost 4 of my parcels. They offered to refund me some amount, but there's no reason given as to why it got lost. Will need to check if they will really refund me or not in 30 days or I have to keep chasing.
I'm not sure if the fault is with Ninjavan now or BnS. Not sure if UPS is worth trying either based on the terrible sg reviews. So far Janio has never lost my parcels but they have changed delivery providers.
