The Monday Piece - Big Apple Buddy

This week's Monday Piece is on Big Apple Buddy! Recent lockdowns and travel restrictions have resulted in significant changes to the shopping behaviors of many around the world. Be it bulk-buying or online shopping, COVID-19 has changed what, when, and how they shop. With ongoing international travel restrictions in place, popular shopping destinations for beauty lovers such as the U.S., continue to remain off-limits to most international visitors.

Prior to the pandemic, planning a shopping trip to the U.S. to stock up on the latest skincare and makeup products was not uncommon for beauty aficionados in the UK. Many are now left searching for ways to procure brands like Biossance, Youth To The People and Drunk Elephant, which have limited availability outside the U.S., without the overseas trip.

Those in the know are turning to shopping services like New York-based Big Apple Buddy. Since 2014, the company has been helping shoppers around the world access products from America that are not available in their country. The company’s shopping platform aggregates the product catalogs of popular U.S. retailers, allowing international shoppers to conveniently buy from multiple U.S. stores with a single checkout. 

Highly focused on delivering quality customer service, Big Apple Buddy takes care of everything from start to finish, making it easy and convenient for its customers to buy from the U.S. This includes sourcing the item, checking and repackaging the goods upon arrival at their facility, preparing all necessary customs documentation, and having the parcel safely shipped to the customer’s international location.

Based in New York, Big Apple Buddy is a personalized shopping service that helps people around the world buy from U.S. stores that do not ship internationally. The unique shopping platform provides international shoppers with the opportunity to buy anything they desire from the U.S., regardless of where they are in the world :).
