Frequently Asked Questions
46 answers about shopping in Brazil and receiving abroad, organized by topic. If you don't find your question here, reach out to us on WhatsApp.
Registration and address
Do I need to pay anything to create my account?
No. Registration is free and your address is yours forever, with no monthly fee and no membership fee. You only pay when you decide to ship a package.
What do I need to provide when registering?
Full name, email, the country where you live, and WhatsApp with your country's country code. We don't ask for a CPF or any Brazilian document.
What does the address I receive look like?
It's the address of our warehouse in Joinville, Santa Catarina, plus your Box number. Your Box is unique and is what identifies the package as yours. It goes in the 'complement' field of the address.
Can I use the same address in multiple stores and for multiple purchases?
Yes. The address stays linked to your account indefinitely. Use it for as many purchases and at as many stores as you want.
I live in Brazil and my WhatsApp is from another country. Is that a problem?
No. That's why registration asks for your country of residence and your WhatsApp number with country code separately. They can be different.
I've already registered before. Do I need to register again?
No. Your Box is permanent. If you can't find your number, contact our team via WhatsApp and we'll retrieve it for you.
Shopping at Brazilian stores
Which stores can I buy from?
From any Brazilian e-commerce. It works on major marketplaces, well-known national brands, and also small and medium stores. For the store, it's a regular domestic delivery.
What must not be missing from the delivery address?
Your Box number. Without it, the package arrives at the warehouse unidentified and becomes an unclaimed package. Fill in your Box in the 'complement' field or in the second address line.
Do I need to let you know when I make a purchase?
Yes, and this is the most important step. As soon as the store generates the tracking code, send it to us via WhatsApp. That's how we identify your package upon arrival.
The store is asking for CPF. What do I do?
Use Assisted Purchase. You send the product link, we buy it with an active CNPJ, and the item ships to your address abroad.
Can I buy from a physical store and have it delivered to you?
Yes, as long as the store agrees to deliver to your Box address. The procedure is the same: let us know what's coming and how to identify it.
Assisted Purchase
What is Assisted Purchase?
It's when we buy it for you. You send the product link, we get a quote, buy it with an active CNPJ, and ship it to your address abroad. It's for those who don't have an active CPF, don't have a Brazilian card, or had an international card declined.
Is there a value limit?
No. Since payment is upfront, we handle purchases of any value.
How much is the service fee?
The fee is negotiated case by case, depending on volume, number of items, and purchase complexity. It always appears in the quote before you approve it.
How do I pay for Assisted Purchase?
From abroad, via Wise, Revolut, or Remitly. From Brazil, via PIX. Payment is upfront and made once, after you approve the quote: it's what allows us to buy without a value cap. The international shipping is finalized later, based on the actual weight and dimensions of the box.
What do I need to send to receive a quote?
The product link and, when it matters, the color, size, quantity, and price shown in the store. With that, we can quote without the risk of buying the wrong item.
How long does it take to receive a quote?
Usually on the same business day. Large orders or products with specific rules may take up to 24 hours.
What if the product sells out before you buy it?
We'll fully refund the value of that item, or you can choose a substitute.
Do you issue an invoice?
Yes, we issue a service invoice for the Assisted Purchase fee. The product invoices are issued in the name of the purchasing company, and you receive a copy of all of them.
International shipping
How do you know a package is mine?
By your Box number on the delivery address and the tracking code you send us. Together, they eliminate any doubt upon arrival.
What is consolidation?
It's combining multiple packages into a single box before international shipping. Since the carrier charges by the greater of actual weight and dimensional weight, consolidating greatly reduces the cost. Consolidation is free.
Do you send pictures of the packages?
Yes, always. We photograph every package upon arrival, outside and inside, and send the photos for you to check before shipping.
Can I ask to repack or discard the original box?
Yes. Original boxes often have a lot of air and unnecessary volume, which makes dimensional shipping more expensive. Just ask along with your shipping authorization.
Is there a limit on how many packages I can receive?
There's no limit on quantity or value. The only thing is the free storage period of 60 days per package.
Who handles international shipping?
The logistics operation is handled by Sendex Express Logística, which has been working with international shipments for over 15 years and is a partner of the main carriers in the market.
Prices, shipping, and taxes
How much does shipping cost?
It depends on the weight, box dimensions, and destination, so there's no single price list. What we guarantee is that you'll receive the final amount before anything is shipped, and nothing is sent without your authorization.
How is international shipping calculated?
By the greater of the actual weight, which is how much the box weighs, and the dimensional weight, which converts volume into weight. A large, light package, like clothing, is almost always charged by dimensional weight. A small, dense package, like a book, is charged by actual weight.
What's free?
Registration, a Brazilian address, receiving packages, photos, consolidation, and the first 60 days of storage.
How do I pay for shipping?
From abroad, via Wise, Revolut, or Remitly. From Brazil, via PIX. Payment details are sent along with the quote, and shipping happens after confirmation, so you never pay before knowing the exact amount.
In which currency do I pay?
The quote is given in reais, which is the currency of the operation in Brazil. Wise, Revolut, and Remitly convert your currency at the time of transfer and show the exchange rate before you confirm.
What about after the 60-day storage period?
A storage fee applies, communicated on a case-by-case basis based on the value of the products and the space occupied. There's no fixed published rate.
Are shipments insured?
Insurance is optional. In the quote, you can purchase coverage for the declared value of the products. Without insurance, liability during transport follows the carrier's rules and limits.
Will I pay tax on delivery?
It can happen, and it depends solely on the laws of the destination country. When tax applies, it's collected from the recipient by the carrier, not by us. Rules change frequently, so we check your case before shipping.
Tracking, timelines, and delivery
How long does delivery take?
After shipping, typical delivery times range from 2 to 5 business days for Europe and North America, and 3 to 7 business days for Asia and Oceania. Customs clearance at the destination can add 1 to 5 business days.
How do I track my delivery?
Every shipment receives an international tracking code, which we send to you and allows real-time tracking all the way to your door.
Do you deliver to residential and commercial addresses?
Yes, both. The delivery goes to the address you indicate abroad.
Does the timeframe count from my purchase?
No. The international timeframe starts counting when the package is shipped from Brazil. Before that, there's the delivery time from the Brazilian store to our warehouse, which varies by seller.
Allowed and prohibited products
What can't I send?
Weapons and ammunition, explosives and flammables, illegal substances, cash, and high-value items such as jewelry and precious stones, biological and perishable materials, tobacco and vape, alcoholic beverages for individuals, and pornographic material. These restrictions are imposed by international air transport and have no exceptions.
Can I send cosmetics and perfume?
In most cases, yes. Items with alcohol above a certain level are treated as restricted cargo and may require specific packaging or shipping method, so it's worth checking before buying in large quantities.
Can I send food?
Yes, when processed and sealed. Coffee, sweets, cookies, and seasonings are among the most shipped items. Some countries require a detailed declaration and block products of animal origin.
What if I buy something prohibited without knowing?
We'll notify you as soon as we identify the item upon arrival. It won't be included in the international shipment, and you can choose to return it to the store, with the return fee set out in the Terms, or authorize its disposal.
Returns and issues
The product arrived defective or different from what I ordered. Now what?
Since we photograph everything upon arrival, the problem is identified before international shipping. You'll be notified and can choose to return it to the store, exchange it, or proceed with shipping anyway.
How does returning to the store work?
We reship the package to the seller in Brazil. There's a return fee of US$20 per package, plus domestic shipping when the store doesn't cover it. Full terms are in the Terms of Use.
My package hasn't shown up at the warehouse. What should I do?
Send the store's tracking code via WhatsApp. With it, we can verify the delivery and locate the package. That's why sending the tracking code is mandatory.
What if the package is lost or damaged during international shipping?
We open a claim with the carrier and follow it through to resolution. Compensation depends on whether insurance was purchased and on the carrier's liability limits, as detailed in the Terms of Use.
How do I file a complaint or give a suggestion?
