Buy for Me in Thailand: process, approvals and costs

Want help buying from a Thai store? Send the exact product details so the team can prepare a quote for your approval.

Buy for Me is part of the new pre-launch shopping service. Check availability on your country’s website before planning an order.

Prepare a clear request

Include the product link, model, size, colour, quantity and destination. Add your budget and any alternatives you would accept. Finding a product and authorizing its purchase are separate steps.

Approve the purchase, then the shipment

  • The team checks the request and prepares a quote. Purchasing follows your approval and payment.
  • The selected products arrive at the receiving point in Thailand. Request photos or consolidation if needed.
  • For catalogue items marked available to order, international shipping is quoted after receipt, weighing, measurement and packing. The second payment requires your explicit approval and is not collected automatically.
  • If the exact item cannot be purchased, no substitute is chosen without your approval. You can approve a specific alternative or receive a full refund of the first payment for that unavailable item.

How the 20% fee works

The Buy for Me service fee is 20% of the combined product and shipping cost. Duties and taxes are excluded from the fee calculation. Check the approved quote for all requested services.

This is a calculation example. Your final charges depend on the approved quote and the shipment.

Before you decide

Compare the complete cost with buying the same product locally. Review the seller’s return policy and the shopping terms. Keep the product specification and approvals with your order so the team can follow your choices.
