How Shop & Ship Works
- Send your list: Call +1 (551) 800 2125 or WhatsApp us your shopping list — items, sizes, brands, and approximate budget.
- We quote: We confirm item availability and pricing, and provide a total cost (items + shopping service fee + shipping).
- You approve: Once you approve the quote and send payment, we start shopping.
- We shop: Walmart, Costco, Target, BJ's Wholesale, Trader Joe's, beauty supply stores, African markets — wherever your list takes us.
- We send photos: Before packing, we send you photos and receipts of everything purchased. If anything is wrong, we exchange it.
- We pack and ship: Everything is packed into your barrel and shipped on the next weekly departure to Ghana.
- You relax: Your family gets their American goods. You got your Saturday back.

Why American Goods Are Worth Shipping to Ghana
The price differential between U.S. retail and Ghana market prices makes shop-and-ship economically powerful for many items:
- A $10 SheaMoisture product at Walmart may retail for GH₵ 120–180 in an Accra pharmacy
- A $30 pair of Nike trainers at an outlet may sell for GH₵ 800–1,200 in Ghana
- Costco Kirkland olive oil, canned goods, and bulk snacks cost a fraction of equivalent Ghana import prices
- American brand vitamins and over-the-counter medications are trusted and cost significantly less than equivalents in Ghana
The math often works even after the shopping service fee and shipping cost — particularly for high-demand personal care brands and vitamins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I pay for items upfront?
Yes — once we confirm the quote and item list, you send full payment (items + service fee + shipping) before we begin shopping. We provide a detailed receipt for everything purchased.
What is the shopping service fee?
The shopping fee covers our time purchasing and handling your items. Call +1 (551) 800 2125 for current rates — fees vary based on list complexity and total purchase value.
What if an item is out of stock?
We notify you immediately and suggest alternatives. We do not substitute without your approval.
Can I mix Shop & Ship with my own packed items?
Yes — many customers pack some items themselves and ask us to shop for the rest. We combine everything into one or more barrels and ship together.
