How to shop at American stores with Prostobox's professional Buyers and why you might need this.

What is «Shopping with Prostobox buyers»?

Within the «Shopping with Prostobox buyers» service, goods are purchased from stores via your links by buyers. This can be an especially relevant solution for those stores that do not accept non-American cards for payment.

If you want to shop at stores on your own, simply order goods to our warehouse in Delaware.

How much does the «Shopping with Prostobox buyers» service cost?

The commission for the purchase service by operators is listed in the Services and Prices section on our website. As of December 8, 2021, the cost of purchasing from regular stores is 10% of the order amount, but not less than $10, and purchasing from picky stores is 15%, but not less than $15.

What is included in the buyer's commission?

Purchasing goods from the store according to the order placed by the customer, receiving the purchases at our warehouse in the USA, and registering the received order in the customer's personal account.

In addition to the cost of goods and commission, you also pay for the delivery of the parcel to your country according to the rates and the chosen delivery service.

Can I combine in one outgoing parcel goods purchased through the «Shopping with Prostobox buyers» service and incoming parcels purchased on my own?

Yes, of course! In an outgoing parcel you can place both goods purchased through our buyers and incoming parcels paid for on your own at US stores.

What are the conditions for buying at eBay auctions?

The minimum commission for each eBay lot is 10% of the cost of each lot, but not less than $10. We also charge an additional commission for participating in the auction and for the "make offer" option in the amount of $5 per lot. This payment is non-refundable. If the auction is canceled or the offer is not accepted, the purchase commission is refunded minus the $5 payment.

What price should I specify for items from eBay if the item is sold at auction?

In the «Price» field of the order form, specify the price up to which you are willing to bid.

We will gradually raise your bid using a sniper robot. For example, if the current lot price is $50 and you are ready to pay a maximum of $100 for the lot, specify the price in the order form as $100. If we purchase the lot for a smaller amount, the remainder will be returned to your balance.

Do you charge a commission for each store in the order?

Yes, the commission is charged for each separate store in the order.

How to place an order?

Register and add links to the items that buyers should purchase for you. Specify the size and color you need, if the item offers such a choice, and pay for your order. You can also specify alternative size or color options in case the needed one is not available at the time of purchase.

Our professional buyers will make purchases at stores via your links in order of queue as quickly as possible.

Do buyers place orders for items with individual design (custom)?

Yes. You need to specify in the item addition form a link to the already assembled version of the item. Parameters such as color and size also need to be specified, even if these parameters are already in the link.

We also recommend that you take a screenshot of the item page at the final stage and give us a link to the screenshot in the comment to the ordered item. This will help when processing your order to ensure that the item is placed correctly, and when received at the warehouse to verify all the details.

Are there stores you do not work with?

Yes. See the list of stores in our «blacklist».

The reasons stores end up on this list vary. But, as a rule, it is the stores' desire to protect their brands from being forwarded to other countries, which is why stores practice blocking cards and postal addresses of mail forwarding companies.

Another common reason stores end up on this list is a poor order tracking and processing system, which causes frequent confusion with ordered items. This list may also include outright unscrupulous stores.

You can try to make purchases at some of these stores on your own (through the «Virtual Address» service), however we cannot guarantee successful order processing by stores from this list. From time to time we review the list and remove some stores from it (for example, if a store has changed its policy on shipping to mail forwarding company addresses).

Do you work only on prepayment?

Yes, we start working on your order only after its full payment.

Is there a tax in the state where your warehouse is located?

Our warehouse is located in the completely tax-free state of Delaware, where no tax is charged on purchases. There is no tax when buying to our warehouse.

How can I find out how much the delivery from the store to your warehouse will cost?

You can top up your balance only for the order amount + our commission. When purchasing your order, the buyers, if necessary, will deduct the delivery on credit from your balance. The negative balance will need to be covered before the parcel is shipped.

How to pay for the order?

Top up your balance for the order amount in any convenient way and pay for the order. Immediately after payment, your order is assigned to an available buyer for purchase.

How quickly do you purchase orders?

Buyers are in different time zones and purchase your orders around the clock. Usually within a few hours from the moment of payment. In some cases, the order may be processed not by Russian or European, but by American operators. Such orders are purchased in the afternoon, approximately from 5:00 PM Moscow time.

Can the purchase of an order be expedited?

Yes, of course. To expedite the purchase of an order during its placement, you need to select the "Buy as soon as possible" service and pay for it. The cost of the service is 15% of the cost of goods in one store or one lot from eBay, but not less than $15.
Promo codes for free purchase are not valid. Orders placed at night from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM Moscow time may not be purchased within 1-3 hours, but will be purchased after 8 AM in the priority queue order.

I placed an order with a buyer, but some items have the status «Out of stock». What to do?

If an item is out of stock, you can replace it with a similar item or another color (size). You can also decline the replacement by deleting the missing item from the order. In this case, the money for the canceled item will be instantly returned to your balance.

Please note that we do not wait for your decision on replacements and purchase all items that are currently in stock. Therefore, please take into account that replacements will be purchased at stores as a separate order, which means the store may charge us for delivery again, which we, in turn, will have to charge you.

If you are against possible charges in such cases, just cancel the items missing from the order.

I placed an order and paid for it, what's next?

Approximately in 4-7 business days the items from your order will be delivered to our warehouse. In your order you can always see different statuses. That the order has been fully or partially purchased. That the store has partially or fully sent the item to the warehouse.

Please note that the delivery times from stores to our warehouse are approximate.

Do you provide tracking after the order is shipped by the store?

No, we do not provide a tracking number from the store.

The order you purchased still has not arrived at your warehouse. What to do?

If more than 10 business days have passed since the purchase and your order still has not arrived at us, please submit a ticket. Our buyers will find out the reason and, if necessary, contact the store to resolve this issue.

All items from the order have arrived at the warehouse. What is required from me?

Proceed to creating the outgoing parcel.

Do you check the item upon arrival from the store?

Within the «Shopping with Prostobox buyers» service, we provide the purchase service and subsequent receipt of the parcel at the warehouse. Unfortunately, we do not verify or check the order for conformity of color, size, set completeness, or missing items on the part of the store. When registering a parcel with items purchased through operators, the list of items received in this parcel is designated by warehouse operators according to the shipping report provided by the store for the items in this parcel.

To check the item that arrived at the warehouse, you can order a photo or video service of the parcel contents. It is arranged by clicking on the camera icon next to the parcel (before sending the parcel for assembly). After submitting the request, our operators will take a photo (video) and you will be able to check the composition and conformity of the order received.

Since fulfilling photo/video requests is additional work, payment for the work is made according to the pricing from the Services section.

Is it possible to return or exchange an item?

Unfortunately, for the «Shopping with Prostobox buyers» service, returns to the store and exchanges are not available. The only exception is in the case of non-conformity of the ordered item with the received one or the presence of an obvious defect (if such is revealed based on the results of ordered photos of the items while the parcel is at the warehouse).

Why do we recommend buying through Prostobox buyers?

• There are several buyers and they purchase orders 24/7, which is important during sales.
• Buyers speak English and can correspond and call stores.
• Buyers purchase goods using American credit cards.
• Buyers have several additional American addresses at their disposal for ordering from picky stores.

Shopping in the USA with delivery to Russia and other countries is easy and fast. Placing an order takes minimal time: just follow a few simple steps.

• Choose and pay for the item in a US online store (if you have a foreign bank card);
• Arrange delivery to the address of a mail forwarding company;
• Once received at the warehouse, arrange shipping to Russia (or any other country you need).

Many shoppers have questions when filling out addresses, since there are two types:

• Shipping address – the actual address where the order will be delivered.
• Billing address – the address linked to your bank card (i.e. the actual address of the cardholder).

While filling in the shipping address usually causes no trouble – you just need to fill in all the fields the same as the sample personal address issued in every client's account on our website, filling in the billing address can raise questions and difficulties. The specifics of filling in addresses is what we'll discuss next.

An example of filling in the shipping address in US stores (you can view it in your personal account):

And to fill in the billing address, you need to use the address listed in the bank agreement for issuing the card. If the card is virtual, you need to use the address listed in the bank agreement for opening a personal account.

So, there are three options in total for filling in the billing address, let's look at each of them:

Filling in a real billing address in a US store

Entering a real Russian billing address when ordering from US online stores in 2025 has become extremely difficult and often results in payment being declined. But if the store still allows this option, don't neglect it. As an example, let's take the store Amazon:

All fields are filled in with the real address – country, city, region, ZIP code, and street with house number. The only thing – you should always provide the US contact phone number we issued you.

Filling in a mixed-type billing address in a US store

If the store's address book does not list the Russian Federation or the country the buyer needs, a mixed-type billing address is entered. In that case: the country and state are entered as American, all other data – your real billing address. If there's an option to specify a Russian state, it's better to do so. The more data that matches your real billing address – the better.

As an example, let's take the store Zappos:

Entering the shipping address instead of the billing address

This option is also possible and may well succeed when placing an order. In this case, all data is filled in the same as the shipping address, but be prepared that the store may request data verification (ask for a scan of your bank agreement), or even – cancel the order. 

Let's look at the example of the site 6 p.m.: 

Note that situations where the card is foreign but the billing address is Russian are becoming increasingly common, especially for those who use foreign banks (for example, from Kazakhstan, Georgia, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, etc.) but live in Russia.

What to do if you have a foreign card but live in Russia:

• Enter the billing address that is linked to the card according to the bank's records (even if it's Turkey, Kazakhstan, etc.).
• Do not enter Russia if that is not the address on file with the bank.
• Try to make sure the card's country and the country in the billing address match. 

If the store does not accept the country where your card is registered (for example, Georgia), you can try a mixed option:

• Enter the USA as the country.
• Enter the real address (street, city) from the bank agreement – even if it's Russia.

We recommend using the first two options for filling in the billing address for orders in US online stores (options 1 and 2), and only if the order is canceled should you try entering the billing address the same as the shipping address (option 3); for some stores, it is crucial that they match.

How to shop at the Walmart online store

How to shop at Walmart

Walmart is the largest online hypermarket in the USA, where you can find literally everything: from electronics and clothing to toys and cosmetics. Especially popular among our users are electronics, children's goods, clothing for the whole family, and skincare cosmetics — prices are often significantly lower than in Russia and other CIS countries. We'll explain how to order from Walmart easily and affordably through the service

Many shoppers from Russia and other countries often wonder — is it possible to order from Walmart with direct shipping to Russia and other countries? The answer is simple — yes, it is, but given that the store is somewhat finicky, sometimes you have to get creative. That's exactly why we recommend following the instructions provided just below.

How to place an order on Walmart

1. Register at Walmart.com

Registration on Walmart is of the classic type — you need to fill in your personal information (first and last name in Latin script, personal email, and password).

2. Add a shipping address

After signing in to your account, go to Account → Addresses → "Add new address". In the address book, you need to fill in the Shipping address, i.e., the delivery address — each client receives this after registering on our website.

After that, you need to check the entered address and create another one, which this time will be used as the Billing address. In this case, you should approach this process carefully — the fill-in structure is of the mixed-type Billing address (you can read more about it here). When filling it in, enter the real data of the card address, except for the country, state, and ZIP code.

3. Add a payment method

The next step in filling in personal data is the payment details. All card data is entered, and it is essential to select exactly the address that was entered for the Billing address, i.e., the mixed type.

We'd like to note that the store is rather finicky when it comes to accepting payments from foreign customers, so if a card payment doesn't go through (we recommend paying with a dollar card so that there are no losses on currency exchange in case of order cancellation), you can try paying for the order via PayPal.

Next, the principle is simple — having selected the desired item, we add it to the cart and proceed to the step-by-step checkout.

In Shipping and pickup options, we select the first option, i.e., Shipping.

For the shipping address — the warehouse address provided by us

For the payment details, we select the previously entered card, or by clicking the More button — we select PayPal.

After double-checking all the information once more, we confirm the order.

If for some reason you still can't place an order at Walmart on your own — we are always ready to help with the purchase through the «Purchase assistance» service.

How to Shop on Disneystore

About Disney

Disneystore.com is the official online store for Disney-branded children's products in the US. Here you'll find a huge selection of toys from all of this brand's cartoons, colorful clothing for adults and children, as well as home and decor items.

Let's walk through how you can place an order at this store for your virtual address on your own.

How to Register on Disneystore.com

Open the store's main page and click "Log In" in the top right corner.

A window opens where we need to click "Join Us".

A registration form appears that we need to fill out.

If you wish, you can subscribe to promotional emails from the store by checking the box next to I'd like to receive updates, special offers and other information from The Walt Disney Family of Companies.

Confirm registration.

Selecting a Product

Now we move on to actually selecting a product and the checkout procedure. We go back to the main page and look for the item we need. Let's say we need to buy our daughter some clothes for the beach season. Select the "SWIM SHOP" section, then "Swimwear & Beach Cover-ups" and the category line "Shop Girl's Swim".

All currently available collections are displayed. On the left, you can select additional filters by price, age, and cartoon character the clothing should feature. Or we can simply choose a set we like on the right.

For example, we chose the following option.

Here you can read customer reviews and, after choosing the desired color and size, add the item to your cart by clicking "Add to bag". We've added the swimsuit and towel to the cart. Note that this store, like many other American and European stores, offers personalization. That is, for a small fee you can order printing or embroidery of initials or a name on the product. Such items are produced and shipped a bit longer than the main assortment.

We've added all the items we need, and now we go to the cart by first clicking the cart icon in the top right corner. In the window that opens, we see all our items and the preliminary total cost of the order. If you know of a promo code, you can add it to the order in the Promo Code line. In the same window, you can click the "View Current Promotions" link to see which codes are currently active at the store. The store allows combining codes if they don't mutually exclude each other under the promotion terms.

Check the colors, quantity, and sizes, and proceed to the next step by clicking "Begin Checkout". First, enter shipping information. Here you need to provide the Shipping Address (your virtual address with us, which you can find in the My US Address section).

Select a shipping method. This will determine how quickly the order will arrive at our warehouse. Click the "Continue to Payment" button.

The store may show you a message stating that it cannot find your suite number in the postal address database. Because of this, it asks you to verify that the data has been entered correctly. Don't worry and calmly click "Use Entered Address".

In the billing address field, you can also leave your virtual address details and enter your payment card information.

Later, the store may request payment details confirmation from you. In that case, you'll need to write them an email using the template below to the support address guest.services@disneystore.com.

Email template with the real billing address:

Hello, I placed order # 0000000. First name: your first name Last name: your last name I was unable to specify the correct billing address during registration. I kindly request you to change the address as follows: Your real card billing address (the address your payment card is registered to, usually your residential address) I further request you to send the package to the mail forwarding agent at: Enter your virtual address at our warehouse here. I'm also sending you a copy of my bank card. Your sincerely, Ivan

Attach a photo of your payment card to the email with all digits except the last four covered.

Now we click "Review Your Order" and move on to the final step. Check all the details in the order, and if everything is correct, click "Submit My Order".

The order is placed. Now you should receive an order confirmation message in your email.

• Our warehouse in Delaware receives Prime packages as soon as the next day after the order is placed. And if time is tight – with Prostobox.com you get your purchase in Russia in just 5-10 days. Without a subscription or with regular shipping, you can wait a month or longer.
• In the US, Amazon is almost a synonym for online shopping. Millions of Americans place orders 2-3 times a week. No wonder Prime has more than 70 million subscribers. In Russia, few people know about this service, and that's a shame – it really saves money and time.
• Especially convenient: the first month is free. Make sure to try it during Prime Day – this is your chance to get the most bonuses at no cost.

Tip from Prostobox.com

Sign up for a Prime subscription during Amazon Prime Day – it's the biggest sale of the year (in July). Discounts of up to 70% on everything. It's the best time to try out the subscription and order with maximum savings.

Important: Amazon does not ship packages directly to Russia or Belarus, but with Prostobox.com you can easily buy any items and receive them quickly.

With Prostobox.com and Amazon Prime smart shopping becomes even easier.

Next, all that's left is to choose the products you want to buy. Select the required size and color and, if necessary, check the Size chart of the item (size selection recommendations). You can turn to the AI shopping assistant — this will help you correctly determine the size you need.

You're almost at the finish line! Just a little bit left! Check the shipping details and proceed to payment

Select Credit or debit card and enter the card number, expiration date, CVV on the back of the card and your name as shown on the card. Click Save & continue

Once the form is completed, check the entered details, memorize or write down your password, and click "Register Now".

Choosing products

Select the section you're interested in (shoes, clothes, accessories) or brand.

If needed, filter the additional product list using the filter in the left column of the site.

For each product group, you'll see different filters. For example, you can specify that you want to view only products from certain brands (by checking those brands) or that you're interested only in size 8 shoes, and so on.

Click on the product you want to buy.

Choose the size and color you need and, if necessary, review the product's size chart (size selection recommendations). Some brands or products may have their own size chart. Once you've selected the color and size, click "Add to Shopping Bag".

Shopping bag

In the shopping bag, you can review the list of your purchases, remove unwanted items, change the quantity for a specific item, enter a discount code (if you have one), and review the total amount of your order. When all the information in the shopping bag has been carefully reviewed, click "Proceed to Checkout".

How to pay for a purchase on 6PM

Step 1. Enter a shipping address in the USA

At the checkout stage, in the Shipping Address field, enter your virtual US address, which can be found in your Pochtoy.com account
Important: standard shipping within the USA on 6PM is free when ordering two or more items or when a single item costs over $50. Expedited shipping is paid and depends on the cart volume.

Step 2. Pay for the order

Currently, American stores do not accept cards and addresses issued in Russia. Therefore, you'll need to use a foreign card (for example, issued in Kazakhstan, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Europe, etc.).

When filling out the payment information:

• Enter your card details
  
  
• In Billing Address enter the address linked to this card (an address outside of Russia — for example, in Kazakhstan or Armenia)
  
  
• Do not check the "Same as my shipping address" box if the address is different
  
  

Step 3. Review everything and place the order

Before the final order confirmation, check:

– the correctness of the shipping address (shipping address in the USA)
– the correctness of the billing address
– the order amount and payment details

Click "Submit My Order". The purchase amount will be charged to your card.

Important to know: on your first order, 6PM may request additional verification (up to 7 days). This is a standard procedure. Subsequent orders with the same card will go through without delays.

2. Fill in the registration form, providing:
   
   
• First name,
  
  
• Last name,
  
  
• Email,
  
  
• Password.
  
  
3. All fields must be filled in using the Latin alphabet.
   

1. Click "Submit" to confirm your agreement with eBay's Privacy Policy and User Agreement.

At this point, registration no longer requires you to come up with a User ID (login), as the site assigns one automatically. However, you can change your login in your profile later if you wish.

After registering, you gain access to all listings and seller details. However, to use all the features of the marketplace, such as buying items and participating in auctions, you need to fill in additional profile information.

Previously, when registering, customers were also required to come up with a User ID — the login under which your account would be registered. Now the site assigns it automatically, but you still have the option to change your login in your profile.

This is the main registration stage. After it, you gain access to all listings, seller details, and so on. But in order to use all the features of the marketplace (buying items, placing bids), you still need to fill in your profile details.

Filling out your eBay profile

Go to your profile via the My eBay link in the top right corner and select the "Summary" section.

On the page that opens, select the "Account" tab and the Addresses row.

Now you need to add a Registration address and a Primary shipping address.

Registration address is your actual residential address. Enter it carefully, since this address may be used by eBay as a contact address. eBay may use the registration address to verify your identity or tax information (in certain countries).

Primary shipping address is the main address to which your orders will be delivered (in this case, your virtual address with us).

Click "Create" and start filling in the details. Remember that all information must be entered strictly in the Latin alphabet (English letters).

Enter and save your address details.

After that, all that remains is to link a PayPal account to your account. If you don't have such an account, you can check out how to create one in our other guide - Registering on PayPal.

In the same Account tab, select PayPal Account.

Currently, eBay may offer to add a bank card or account directly, without PayPal — this depends on your country of residence and seller category.

If you already have a PayPal account, click Link My PayPal Account, and on the page that opens, enter the email address linked to your PayPal payment system and the password to log in to it. After that, by clicking Link Your Account, you essentially complete the linking process.

If you don't have such an account, click the Sign up button and on the page that opens, start the PayPal registration process. After finishing linking your PayPal account, your eBay account is ready to use and you can start shopping.
