– Start Browsing and Shopping –
Step 1: You can browse on Amazon by category (click ‘All’ in the top left corner and scroll down to ‘Shop By Department’) or by entering your desired item (any brand, product category, or specific product) into the search box above.
💡 Tip: As many of the good deals only ship to a U.S. address, remember to enter the zip code of Buyandship’s US warehouse by clicking ‘Deliver to’ in the top left corner to view all available products!
Step 2: If you wish to buy an item, click “Add to cart” if you want to continue to shop or browse for alternatives, or click “Buy now” if you want to check out and pay for your item immediately.
Step 3: Once you’re ready to checkout for your items, go to your cart in the top right corner.
Fill in the delivery address. Go to the “Overseas Warehouse Address” on your Buyandship member centre and view the information on Buyandship’s US warehouse (Amazon/eBay Tab). Click “Use this address” to proceed.
Step 4: Choose your payment method, and add a credit or debit card information to pay.
Step 5: After entering the payment page, confirm your order information. Click “Continue to application” to submit the order.
Step 6: Remember to declare your shipments at your Buyandship member centre once you’ve received the shipping confirmation email from Amazon!

Setting up Steps to Prevent Lost Amazon Shipments
💡 When you proceed to checkout, if you come across delivery time slot options, just like that highlighted in the red box shown, please DO NOT select. Otherwise, your package will be handled by an independent contract courier, increasing the likelihood of delivery outside of US warehouse office hours and the potential for leaving the package directly at the front door of the warehouse.
Choosing those without a specified delivery time slot option below the red box is a more effective way to ensure the safety of your package.
💡 For Amazon, we also highly discourage selecting the ‘Prime delivery option’
With similar reasoning and logic from the tip above, avoid selecting the prime delivery option upon checkout to ensure the safety of your package.
Step 1：Go to Amazon US and log in. Click on “Account & Lists” in the top right corner.
Step 2：Click on “Your addresses”.
Step 3：Enter “Amazon / eBay Applicable Warehouse Address” in “Your addresses” and click “Add delivery instructions”.
Step 4：Choose delivery within US warehouse office hours and click “Add delivery instructions”.
Step 5：Click on “Do we need additional instructions to find this address?”
In the text box below, copy and paste the following sentence:
Please do NOT leave the package if nobody is there to receive it.
Finally, click “Save instructions” to save the changes.
