    Faustian (bargain) NYC Shopping Proxy Service - CLOSED

    CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

    Since I've been helping people out anyway, I thought I'll make it official - I am starting a proxy service for those people who cannot buy from NYC stores. That usually means our International contingent - most US stores will ship within the US.


    I can also buy on your behalf from Ebay sellers who don't ship overseas, and from US based shops like Eluxury that don't ship overseas.


    Here is how it works. I will accept PayPal - I have a PayPal debit card, which makes paying very easy.


    Cost breakdown:


    Item Price +


    NY State tax (4.375%) and/or Shipping to me in case of Ebay/non NY state Web retailer +


    My commission (10% with a minimum of $50, so you don't send me for socks or something like that) +


    Express USPS shipping to your country +


    PayPal fee (4% international, 2% domestic).


    Process:


    You must be a member of SZ (that is you have to PM me with what you are looking for :-)).


    You let me know what you want and what size you want, and where it is likely to be. I let you know if I find it. You will PayPal of Google Checkout me, or I can send you an invoice. Upon receipt of payment, I call the store and have the item put aside for me, pick it up, and ship it to you.


    That's about it - let me know if you have any questions.

          Hi Emily - it's nice to virtually meet you. I think I've seen you - white, cropped round hair? It's the only new girl I recall.

              how often do you go to these stores?



              is atelier's stock usually what you see on the website?



              i would love to do this but how should i go about doing it, as far as what if they dont have what i want? how many backups should i give you?



              i.e.



              this jacket in this size, if they dont have that this shirt in this size, if they dont have that size then this pant, etc etc...

                Of course it's best to know what it is exactly you want, and giving a range of options, in order of preference is good. I can always call, so it's not really a matter of going.

                        If you need anything at all in NYC, don't hesitate to ask Faust! We've dealt together for the nth time (NYC pickups, US-only Ebay sellers, LuisaViaRoma group buys) and he's been a huge help each and every time! [Y]



                        Thanks again for everything Faust!

                            Got perfect jeans from Cloak flagship using Faust's service. It took exactly 8 days to receive package. I consider the Service to be a very good way to buy american designers stuff. (thinking about Geller's pieces.))
