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 storesNoah, 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. 1

    Get a US forwarding address

    Most forwarders give you a US (often Oregon/Delaware — no sales tax) warehouse address.

  2. 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. 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.
