BuyandShip

Buy&Ship (Buyandship) is a Hong Kong-headquartered business-to-consumer cross-border shopping platform that combines international parcel forwarding, proxy buying and an express checkout marketplace. Shoppers register for a member ID, use one of the company's overseas warehouse addresses as the delivery address when buying from foreign retail sites, declare the incoming parcel, and then consolidate multiple shipments into a single order for delivery to their home market. The company also buys on the shopper's behalf from overseas stores that do not accept foreign cards or addresses, charging a service fee starting at 6%, and offers an express checkout channel where overseas items can be purchased directly in local currency with local credit cards.

The platform is built on a fulfilment network spanning 10 buying markets — including Japan, the United States, Korea, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia and Hong Kong, which also serves as the consolidation hub — and 12 delivery markets covering Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Macao, Japan, India, the UAE, Vietnam, the UK and Australia. Warehouses in Portland (US, tax-free), Ibaraki (Japan), Toronto (Canada) and Ashford (UK) are self-operated, with additional partner facilities; scheduled outbound consolidation runs from once to five times per week depending on origin, and transit to the Hong Kong warehouse takes roughly two to eight days. In Hong Kong, parcels can be collected at more than 400 pickup points including redemption centres, smart lockers and third-party locations, or delivered to a local address.

Beyond logistics, the company positions itself around data and automation: robotic process automation for order processing, an AI-powered recommendation system on its Buyaholic social commerce community, deal discovery and price comparison across its buying markets, and a seller-scoring model trained on its transaction history. It describes a personal shopper service as live and an AI shopping agent as forthcoming.
