Amazon: How to Buy Goods and Deliver to Russia Easy! Black Friday 2019
Butcher79
Ahead of us is the biggest sale of computer hardware, laptops, consoles and games. Black Friday 2019 opens up the opportunity to purchase a bunch of the right things with discounts and at low prices. We have prepared a guide on when the global sale starts and ends, and how to conveniently, easily and quickly order things from abroad from leading sites.
When does Black Friday 2019 start?
Some stores and retail chains begin to lay out goods at discounted prices as early as mid-November, but in fact the promotion has a strictly stipulated time frame.
Officially, Canonical Black Friday begins on the last Friday of November, right after Thanksgiving in the US. Due to the difference in calendars from year to year, the start date "walks" from November 23 to November 29.
This year Black Friday falls on November 29th. However, in reality, even this standard date sometimes differs from country to country. It's all about the difference in time zones, and besides, as noted earlier, in fact, discounts often begin earlier than the official date.
Time of Black Friday
Formally, the action lasts 24 hours, during which the stores, initially full of goods, are blown to smithereens by buyers. Often there are fights over goods between them.
Moreover, in many large cities in America, congestion is formed not only in stores, but also on the streets. Everyone is in a hurry to take advantage of discounts, which is why there are traffic jams on the roads, and the number of days off at work is breaking records.
It is because of these side effects that Black Friday got its name. However, over the years, clear boundaries have long been blurred, so that in most countries discounts last for a whole week. In addition, it is much more convenient than pushing around in stores on the same day.
How to buy and deliver a set-top box, game, laptop, video card and other hardware from any foreign store?
There are a lot of discounts on Black Friday, but sometimes it happens that the best deals are available only in foreign stores, such as Amazon, eBay, Newegg and others.
In this case, the issue of receiving the purchased goods is very relevant, because not always in foreign stores there is the possibility of delivery to Russia. Well, or it is very long, complicated and inconvenient. Or expensive, if you take into account government fees.
How to buy discounted consoles and game accessories from the USA with delivery to Russia
To facilitate delivery from foreign stores, there is a service "Banderolka", with which you can buy things at a discount from the United States with delivery to the Russian Federation.
- ➤Register on the website of the parcel delivery service. You will automatically be given a Delaware address;
- ➤In the selected online store (for example, Amazon.com, Newegg or Ebay.com), select a product to purchase;
- ➤Indicate as the delivery address the address received on the Parcel website, pay for the order;
- ➤The order will be sent to your address in Delaware and will appear in the "In stock" section in your Personal Account on the Parcel website;
- ➤After that, you can calculate the cost of shipping your product;
- ➤Choose a delivery method, familiarize yourself with the nuances and place an order to your home or other address.
In the event that the online store you have chosen delivers to your country, then an additional delivery service is not needed.
Why buy from overseas stores?
Of course, Russia is a large and well-developed country. From a certain moment, more and more new outlets specializing in the sale of electronics and video games began to appear in it. And the further, the more such stores become. This is certainly very good, but why should you pay attention to stores abroad?
This means that the seller of this thing spent a lot of effort and, more importantly, money, so that the buyer could walk “on foot” to his store and choose something interesting for himself with a demanding look:
- ➤ I bought the goods directly from the manufacturer (more often - from the same reseller, only from another country);
- ➤Drive him to the Russian border, paying for the services of foreign carriers;
- ➤Paid customs duties and fees to cross the border with the goods;
- ➤Drove again, but only now to the warehouse, after all, someone has to pay the loaders and drivers;
- ➤Drove again, but now to a specific store, where the product will be seen by a potential buyer;
- ➤Paid for the work of all the store employees, and at the same time a dozen taxes, of which there are a lot in Russia.
This is just offhand, without exact numbers and calculations. But there is still a margin, that is, for the sake of which the whole enterprise is started. As a result, many goods can cost 30-50% more than in the west. That is why you should pay close attention to foreign stores, because there the only thing that separates you from buying is the language barrier and the specifics of delivery to Russia.
How to translate English websites into Russian?
Problems need to be solved as they become available, since now, in the age of the Internet, everything can be done without leaving home. Many users bypass foreign stores because they do not know the language.
As you know, almost all major foreign stores use English as the main language. Sometimes, of course, there is a choice of several languages, but this can not always be seen.
The reason is essentially the same: the price. Yes, everything is so simple. The fact is that 99% of electronics is the most import, that is, obviously such a product that needs to be purchased there, over the "hillock". If you come to a random store of one of the popular retail chains and point your finger at a random product, then it will almost certainly be an imported item.
For example, Ebay has a Russian version, which is displayed by default for all users living in Russia. AliExpress also has a Russian version of the site, so there are usually no problems with ordering there. But on Amazon, alas, only English and, suddenly, Spanish localization, which means that it will be inconvenient to order there without knowing one of these languages.
How to act in such situations? Of course, you can learn a language, but what if you don't have the time, energy, or money to do so? The algorithm is very simple:
- ➤Install Google Chrome;
- ➤We go to any site with an interface in a foreign language;
- ➤Click on the "Translate this page" button, which is located at the end of the address bar.
After that, all text on the site will be translated. Moreover, you can safely go to other pages of the site - the translation will not go anywhere. Of course, in some places it will be a little clumsy, since this is essentially a run through a Google translator, but in order to understand the intricacies of an order on a specific foreign site, it will do.
Delivery to Russia - is it always available?
Despite the fact that our country is so great and vast that it occupies a sixth of the entire planet, stores do not always provide delivery to Russia. The point here is not even that someone does not recognize “us” or denies the existence of a clientele. Just trade between different countries implies a huge number of different difficulties. Basically, they are legal in nature.
Therefore, the first thing to do when you find a product of interest on the website of a foreign store is to make sure that it delivers to Russia. Because if not everything, then a lot depends on it.
So, let's say that the delivery is still there. This is good, but it's too early to jump to the ceiling. You need to make sure that the price for delivery is not very expensive, otherwise the savings will not be so significant that you bother ordering a thing in another country for it.
By the way, some marketplaces have free shipping thresholds. When ordering goods for a certain amount, delivery becomes free, regardless of the location of the buyer. Therefore, it often makes sense to wait, and then buy several goods at once, so that the seller delivers them completely free of charge.
By the way, delivery can also be different, and in a good way this issue should also be studied before making a payment. Most often, foreign stores deliver goods to the border, and then transfer it to the local post office.
When ordering fragile items (smartphones, any electronics), this is fraught with problems, since the Russian Post very often treats other people's things negligently. But you will still need to go to the post office to receive the goods, in the long term standing in a half-hour (if you're lucky!) queue.
Therefore, when ordering, it is best to try to make sure that delivery is carried out by some transport company - in such cases, delivery almost always goes directly to the buyer.
On the appointed day, the courier will agree on the exact time of the meeting and deliver the ordered goods directly to the door against signature. The fact is that the performers in transport companies are responsible for the entrusted goods with their heads, and therefore the reliability is many times higher.
How to take the goods to your home if the store does not have delivery to Russia?
Well, what to do if delivery to the Russian Federation is not carried out? This is the most difficult case, and very often people give up on the idea of ordering goods abroad for this very reason. After all, what is the use of a low price if the purchased item simply does not reach Russia?
In this case, there is no need to despair, because the options are still there. First of all, you need to remember whether there are familiar people in the country where the store is “based”. If yes, then the problem is removed: you need to order the goods in their name to be delivered to them, and then agree with them on the delivery of one of the transport services. There are many of them, and they work all over the world.
If there are no acquaintances in the country of the order, then you need to look for specialized services involved in the acceptance of goods and subsequent delivery to the recipient in another country.
For example, when ordering any goods from the USA, you can use the "parcel post". It was created just for such cases and makes it very easy to coordinate the delivery of any goods from the USA to Russia, without robbing customers to the skin.
