American fashion designers have long gained fame in Russia, including Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger, Ralf Loren, Tom Ford, Tory Burch and many others. As a rule, the cost of such brands in Russia is much higher than in the USA, and some of them are not even represented in our country, or are represented, but their lines are limited.

The difference in price can be seen most clearly in the example of Tommy Hilfiger clothing. This brand is very popular with teenage girls and older fashionistas. Buying brand items in the USA, you can save very seriously, sometimes 2-3 times!



One of the stylist's tasks is to save the client's money, so I will tell you how you can save on stylish things by ordering them to Russia directly from the USA. The algorithm is pretty simple:

Step 1. On the website of this or that brand, you need to select the country where you plan to purchase the item, in our case it will be the United States, select English and indicate the currency in dollar terms. This must be done so that you are not automatically transferred to the Russian representative office of the brand. You can also use the services of one of the American online stores Amazon, Ebay, Macys or 6pm (there is no need to change the settings here).

Step 2. Find a reseller in the United States, to whose address you will order goods, and register on his website. In the future, the intermediary will send the order from the USA to Russia directly to your address. A lot of companies provide such a service, here are some of them: BuyUSA, Qwintry, Shipito, Mail, Shopotam, ShipBox, Shopfans and others.

Step 3. We proceed directly to the purchase of goods. Place your order at the address provided by the intermediary organization (see Step 2) and wait for a valuable package.

That's all. Even taking into account delivery, the cost of goods ordered from the USA will be much cheaper than in Russia.



Another point FOR shopping in the USA is sales and promotional codes. Discounts of 70% or more are common in the United States, as a rule, they are timed to coincide with certain holidays. The most famous are Black Friday, on the eve of Thanksgiving at the end of November, post-Christmas discounts, discounts on the eve of Independence Day (July 4th). Often American online stores offer promotional codes for subscribing to their news. If you subscribe to the news of the stores you are interested in, you will not miss interesting offers and sales.

As for the negative aspects when ordering goods from the USA, there are not so many of them. Let's take a look at each of them:

1. The inability to try on a thing and, accordingly, make a mistake in size. Currently, all American online stores give a complete decoding of the dimensional grid. When choosing a size, I recommend that you definitely look into the section "size guide", where you will find information on the compliance of the size with certain measurements. In order to avoid problems with the size, do not be too lazy to take your measurements and compare them with the declared ones.
   
   
2. Delay in delivery. This happens, but extremely rarely. You will have on hand the number of the shipment (provided by the intermediary upon dispatch), by which you will track your parcel. If the need arises, do not be afraid to ask questions to the sender of the parcel.
   
   
3. Return of goods. The most difficult point and almost impracticable. The cost of sending an item back is quite high and sometimes more expensive than the item you want to return. Therefore, I advise you to choose the sizes with special care. Marriage is extremely rare. American companies value their reputation very much.
