Buying from United States
US designer and streetwear stores often ship internationally but at high rates, or not at all for hyped drops. A US forwarding address gets you domestic checkout, domestic-only releases, and consolidated reshipping.
Brands worth buying
Where to buy
- Brand official US stores — Noah, ALD, JJJJound sell direct; some drops are US-shipping only.
- SSENSE / END. (US) ↗ — Major multi-brand retailers; do ship to CN but a forwarder can be cheaper.
Step by step
- 1
Get a US forwarding address
Most forwarders give you a US (often Oregon/Delaware — no sales tax) warehouse address.
- 2
Checkout with the US address
Use it for both shipping and (where possible) billing. A few sites flag mismatched billing — proxy-buy solves that.
- 3
Consolidate + reship
Combine parcels; choose a tax-inclusive line for China if available.
Forwarding / proxy-buy services
Third-party services; fees per their own terms.
Tips
- ·Pick a sales-tax-free warehouse state (OR, DE, NH) to save ~7-10%.
