MY EXPERIENCE WITH GO SEND!!

Hello Junkies,

As I have mention in my previous blog that Sephora does not allow to ship any 3rd party address. Im quite pissed off regarding this as a makup junkie, I love to buy all of my makeup at Sephora.

But when I watch youtube, I saw one of the youtuber mention about Gosend. This made me quite curious and because of that I went to their website to check them out.

What is GoSend??

GoSend is a global ecommerce and shipping company that enables consumers around the world to buy from retailers in the United States — and save on sales tax and shipping costs.

Founded in 2014, their service opens up a new way for consumers across the globe to buy and U.S. retailers to sell. With a number of US retailers not offering international shipping, their vision is to create an online shopping experience that matches the ease and convenience of consumers buying from within their own country.

When I read about this, I quickly signup and was so eager to try them out. Once i have signup, GoSend give me a U.S shipping address which obviously qualifies for free or low-cost shipping as it's an American address.

The address is in Delaware which is a state that doesn't add on any tax to products. After that, I went to Sephora website ordered my items and send it direct to the given address by Gosend. All I need to do now is to wait for them to update me once the item have arrived at their warehouse.

Once I have received an email to let me know when they had arrived at their end. They put my items in Go Shop virtual Locker and I will be able to see photographs of the items that GoSend had taken. I think this is a great added feature because I will know whether the items are damaged or not. After I have satisfied with everything, I made payment for the shipping cost to Singapore which was about US18++. Once payment was made, it took around 3-7 working days to arrive to Singapore which is quite fast.

Membership??

For the first signup, you will be able to get 30-Day Free Trial with No Credit Card Required. Once you enjoy using Gosend, you will be able to purchase their membership with a payment of $10 per month for VIP Monthly or $50 per year for VIP Annual.

 

What is Shop Assist??

As GoSend is your new personal shopper and ShopAssist is your one shopping cart for any retailer!
They can buy products on our behalf if an online store does not accept your credit card or if you just want them to find the best price for you. All items are shipped right to your GoSend virtual locker and its all U.S. tax-free. They currently accept Paypal and Wire transfers.

For this Shop Assist, I have not try this out service yet but I have read that they will have a service fee of US$5 which is not bad at all rather than you need to pay tax for each items that you purchase which can end up paying more than US$5.

 

 

I have just received an email from GoSend saying that Sephora have already banned Gosend address. Because of that Gosend encourage us to use Shop Assist and they will waive the service charge of US$5 for our convenient. They will be updating their service so that we are able to purchase from Sephora. This is great right??

 

Dear Norra :

It has come to our attention that Sephora has not been fulfilling orders placed by our members due to an address discrepancy. This is an unfortunate issue that we are currently working to resolve. We are in business to break down barriers for international shoppers and are once again faced with a new one!

In the meantime, GoSend members can still buy from Sephora through our ShopAssist service. ShopAssist was designed to help global buyers overcome extraneous international shopping barriers, such as this domestic shipping issue we have encountered with Sephora. Through ShopAssist, GoSend members are able to place Sephora orders with their own personal shoppers, who will then purchase the items on your behalf. This should make the global shopping experience much simpler for you, our valued members.

To thank you for your patience with this matter, we will automatically take $5.00 off all Sephora ShopAssist orders. You can also now place ShopAssist orders through GoShop. We are currently working hard to make it an even better experience so please look for updates on our new automated ShopAssist 2.0 coming soon!

  

Overall??

 

After using this service for 2 months, I really recommend signing up to GoSend if you shop a lot on American retailers and hate paying extreme shipping. So what are you waiting for? Go and signup and enjoy this services!!
