Shopee is one of the largest e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia and Taiwan. It operates as a massive online marketplace—similar to Amazon or eBay—where third-party sellers (ranging from individual entrepreneurs to established brands) list their products for buyers to browse and purchase.
Founded in Singapore in 2015, it has grown into a “super-app” that combines shopping with social features like live streaming and mobile games.
What Can You Buy on Shopee?
You can find almost anything on Shoppee, but the platform is particularly known for its variety in the following categories:
- Electronics & Gadgets: Smartphones, laptops, gaming accessories (like the Acer Predator mouse), power banks, and Bluetooth earphones.
- Fashion & Apparel: Trending “Y2K” style jewelry, cargo pants, off-shoulder tops, and branded footwear (like Adidas or Puma).
- Beauty & Personal Care: Korean skincare sets, Vitamin C serums, makeup, and hair styling tools.
- Home & Living: Small appliances (air fryers, robot vacuums), home decor, furniture, and kitchenware.
- Parenting: Diapers, baby formula, strollers, and toys (including LEGO sets).
- Health & Wellness: Vitamins, supplements, and fitness trackers like the Xiaomi Smart Band.
Key Features for Shoppers
- Shopee Mall: A dedicated section for official brands and authorized resellers, ensuring that the products are 100% authentic.
- Shopee Guarantee: A safety feature where the platform withholds your payment from the seller until you confirm that you have received the order in good condition.
- Vouchers & Coins: Users can collect “Shoppee Coins” through daily check-ins or games and use them to get discounts on future purchases.
- Flash Deals: Deeply discounted items available for a limited time, often refreshed several times a day.
How to Get Started
- Download & Register: Use the Shoppee app or website to create an account with your phone number or email.
- Browse & Filter: Use the search bar and filters (price range, shop rating, or “shipped from” location) to find specific items.
- Check Reviews: Look for photo and video reviews from other buyers to verify the quality of the product.
- Payment: You can pay via credit/debit card, bank transfer, or ShopeePay (their digital wallet).

How to Shop and Ship From Shopee
To buy from Shopee if you are in Europe, the USA, Canada, or Australia, you can use DeliveringParcel. Since Shoppee typically requires a local phone number and address for delivery, this service acts as your gateway to their regional markets.
Here is how you can use DeliveringParcel to shop on Shopee from abroad:
1. Get a Local Shipping Address
When you sign up with DeliveringParcel, you can obtain a local residential address or warehouse address in key Shopee markets such as Taiwan, Malaysia, or Singapore.
- Instead of entering your international home address (which Shopee’s system won’t accept), you enter the address provided by the forwarder.
- Your items are delivered locally, signed for, and safely stored.
2. Use a “Personal Shopper” or Proxy Service
Shopee often restricts accounts to local credit cards or local phone numbers for verification. If you cannot complete the checkout yourself, you can use the Personal Shopper (also known as a Proxy Buyer) service.
- How it works: You provide the Shopee product link to DeliveringParcel.
- They will purchase the item on your behalf using a local payment method.
- This bypasses the need for you to have a local bank account or SIM card.
3. Consolidate and Reship Worldwide
Shipping multiple individual items from Asia or South America to the USA or Europe can be expensive.
- Consolidation: You can shop from various Shopee sellers and have all the items sent to your assigned local address.
- Repackaging: DeliveringParcel can combine these into a single box and remove unnecessary packaging to reduce the weight and volume, significantly lowering your international shipping costs.
Why Use This Method?
- Access Restricted Markets: You can buy items from Shopee regions like Norway, Spain, or Taiwan that would otherwise be inaccessible.
- Residential Addresses: Some Shopee sellers are hesitant to ship to large commercial warehouses; having a residential shipper address can help ensure your order is processed.
- Flexible Shipping: Once your items are collected, they can be forwarded to you in the USA, Canada, Australia, or anywhere in Europe via reliable international couriers.
