Shopping in the USA? Now it's possible even from home!

Stores with fashionable and branded goods have been valued for years. And still, despite the rapidly developing retail market in Poland, we like to dress in places where the goods are one hundred percent original and branded. And to the question: "where can you find such stores?", the answer is usually one: in the United States.

Shopping in the USA – a true kingdom of possibilities

No one needs to be convinced that it is in the USA where the possibilities in almost all areas of life are the greatest. And this does not only apply to careers or broad prospects for professional development, but also to industries such as shopping or comfort of life.

In the mentality of Poles, the United States still remains a new, better world, but difficulties in obtaining a visa cause incomplete possibilities for the realization of plans or dreams.

Goods from the USA at your fingertips

Discount promotions in Poland are usually organized twice a year. In the USA, sales, promotions, and special offers in stores can be found much more frequently. Importantly, they often concern highly sought-after, branded, expensive goods made with extraordinary attention to detail.

To meet customer expectations, places have been created through which, without leaving home, you can successfully place an order online and thus shop in the USA while sitting comfortably in your own armchair. Then just wait for the calculation of the purchase costs, taking into account the margin for the intermediary store and the method of shipping to Poland and its cost, to expect the ordered goods.

Which stores do we shop at most often?

The popularity of brands available in the USA enjoys enormous interest in Poland. The main reason for this trend is the fact that when buying in Poland, we still have no certainty that we are buying original goods. But when shopping from the USA, it is completely the opposite.

Which stores in the USA enjoy the greatest interest from customers? Among shopping preferences, brands such as Levis, Adidas, Nike, Victoria Secret, Puma, Converse, Abercrombie, Tiffany, Timex, Toshiba, Lenovo, Dell, Sony, Chanel, Sephora, and Clinique reign supreme.

American goods are desired not only because of their originality. Customers are also tempted by attractive prices during sales periods or when the dollar exchange rate is low. These are not the only arguments for which shopping in the USA is gaining more and more interest. Additionally, the payment options are also advantageous. They are possible both to a Polish account and an American account, as well as through the reliable Pay-pal service.

What is worth buying online in the USA?

Many products offered by stores in the USA can be purchased much cheaper than in Poland. If we wanted to create a catalog of products that are worth buying by mail order in the United States, it would certainly include products such as:

cars (mainly luxury ones) and car parts,
watches and jewelry,
clothing and footwear,
cosmetics,
handbags,
computers and electronics,
tools and accessories.

Of course, the list of products can be longer, and many cases should be considered individually. However, it is worth seeing that, for example, electronics in the United States are cheaper than in Poland. The difference can be as much as -30%. This will certainly matter when buying more expensive devices, such as computers or smartphones. For example, the iPhone 6 in the 16 GB version in the States costs around 2500 PLN (650 $), in Poland - 3100 PLN.

The purchase of clothing, handbags, or cosmetics can also be profitable, especially considering the fact that stores in the USA offer many products that are not available in Poland.

How long does delivery from the United States take

A shipment to Poland from the USA can reach the recipient in a few days or a few weeks. Everything depends on the type of purchased items, their size, form of delivery, and other factors. Usually air shipments are delivered within about 1 week. Standard postal shipments can travel for up to 4 weeks. Courier shipments are the fastest. It is true that the cost of shipping from the USA by courier will be the most expensive, but the package will reach Poland in 3-5 days. It is worth paying more for such convenience. In addition, courier shipping provides the ability to track the transport of the package.

How do complaints and returns work

Complaints and returns of goods purchased online in the USA are issues considered individually. The necessary information can be found in the terms and conditions of the online store, so before starting a purchase, it is worth carefully familiarizing yourself with the rules of complaints and returns of goods.

Important issues to remember

Depending on what we want to buy in the USA, it is worth remembering that certain products may not be available in the Polish language version. This mainly applies to electronics, computers, or phones. When transporting cars from the USA, we must take into account the costs of modifications and adapting them to the conditions specified in the Polish road code. It is also worth taking into account the fact that the most profitable purchases in the USA are luxury goods, because in the States we can find them at much lower prices than in Poland. Thanks to this, even after taking into account all additional costs, the final price of the goods will be lower. It can be a problem if a shipment to Poland from the USA contains cigarettes, alcohol, or prohibited goods. Before importing from the USA, you should familiarize yourself with the list of products that we cannot ship without appropriate permits.
