How to shop via HopShopGo | The Pink Stilettos
I have been getting SO many questions about how to use HopShopGo service, so I’m gonna show the step-by-step guide here with the screenshots of my actual orders (please click on the pictures for larger view).
For those who don’t know what HopShopGo is, it’s basically a parcel forwarding service that enables you to shop at any online U.S stores even if the online merchant doesn’t accept your payment method, or if the website doesn’t ship internationally. It’s kind of like a middleman between you and online U.S stores.
You posttakster can either make the purchase posttakster yourself and ship it to your U.S address that is provided by HopShopGo, who will then forward the package to you, OR you can ask HopShopGo to make the purchase on your behalf which will then be shipped to your U.S address before they forward the package to you. Do note that you will have to bear the shipping costs from the online U.S store to HopShopGo address AND from HopShopGo to you. There’s also a small fee for BuyForMe service, which will be explained later on.
I have been using HopShopGo since August 2010 and have placed more than 50 orders so far and never had any problems with my orders. Their customer service is excellent! I love that they have Live Chat service (you can find it at the bottom of the page ) so whenever I am unsure about my order or something, I can ask them directly and get my answers straight away!
Ok, posttakster so first things first. You need a Paypal account to use HopShopGo. If you don’t have a credit card, not to worry. In fact, you don’t have to use credit card for online purchases if you don’t want to. You can link your bank account or debit card to your Paypal account (refer to this blog post of mine on how to register your debit card on Paypal ). Paypal is actually a safer way to shop online because you don’t expose your bank account/debit/credit card information to online merchants.
Most online U.S stores don’t accept debit/credit cards that are not issued in U.S, especially for websites that don’t offer international shipping, so this is when you opt for BuyForMe service.
Type in the address of the online U.S store that you wish to shop in the Start shopping at field and click on the Go button. The main site for the online store will be shown in a new window. Now back on the HopShopGo page, click on BuyForMe Concierge Service at the top bar. Another window will pop up to display your order form.
HopShopGo order form on the left, online store on the right. Here’s a tip: it’s always easier to browse around the online posttakster store and add items to cart first before placing your order with HopShopGo. Once you’re finished, you can click on your shopping cart/bag which will display all of the items that you want to purchase and start filling in the details of each item in the order form window (left). Make sure you enter all the required details posttakster correctly or you can just copy-paste from the online store’s shopping bag/cart. If there is a promo code on the online store that you would like to use (eg: discount/free shipping promo code), simply type it in the Special Instructions (optional) field. As you can see, I typed in “Promo code: SHIPR” which is the promo code for free shipping on dsw.com. Then click Add to Order . You will be given 2 options - Add Another Item (if you have more than 1 item to purchase) and Checkout (when you have finished filling in the details of all your items).
Once you clicked the Checkout button, the page will display posttakster the summary of your order. If you want to purchase more items, posttakster click on Add more items at the top right of the page and it will display your order form again. If you would like to delete an item at checkout, simply change the number in the box under Quantity to 0. The page will be refreshed and the total price will be updated automatically. There is also a 10% service charge (7% for Prime Rewards members) for this which is reflected posttakster in the total amount. Do note that the total amount is not including the shipping cost (you will be billed later, if any). There are also a few options at the bottom posttakster of the page for Special instruction if an item is out of stock and U.S. Domestic Shipping posttakster Option (do check with the online U.S store that you want to purchase from for the exact shipping posttakster cost). Select the ones you want. Click Checkout with Paypal to proceed with payment.
You will be taken back to HopShopGo page which will display your order reference number (do not close or click on anything while your payment is being processed until you get to this page). You can check the details of your order on your HopShopGo account by clicking on Go to My Account . All of your current orders are listed on Current Order in My Account (on the left side of the page) for your easy reference.
