Shipping to Russia from Amazon: how is it more выгоднее?
The company produces and sells millions of items itself. Many have heard of Kindle e-readers, Echo smart speakers, or Fire tablets. But the rabbit hole goes much deeper here. The company has dozens of its own brands – AmazonBasics, Solimo, Mama Bear, Presto!, 365, Mae, Essentials, 206 Collective, and so on. These are super-cheap and very high-quality items (clothing, shoes, electronics, and more) that can only be found on Amazon. The company simply takes the most successful products on its site, copies them, and sells them 30-50% cheaper because it can afford to do so. And for shoppers, it's a joy: even more good products at a super-low price.
For Americans, Amazon is synonymous with online shopping. If they want to buy something online, they get it here. That is why the platform is able to keep the lowest prices on the internet, and even provide free fast delivery of goods across the United States for almost all purchases. But how do you order from Amazon to Russia? Let's figure it out!

How to shop profitably on Amazon USA with delivery
Amazon.com is the main online store in the USA. About 50% of the goods that go through Pochtoy.com are bought on this website. It is famous for its wide selection of goods and very low prices. But these prices can be made even lower! So here we will go into a bit more detail.
To help you get the maximum benefit from shopping, we have 7 useful tips:
- Check the Warehouse section (“Warehouse”). It would be great if you find a product there that interests you. There are 16 categories here that collect all the biggest discounts on Amazon. These are mainly discounted items that were returned to the store but do not have significant defects. Many products are discounted by up to 60% simply because someone was not home and did not manage to pick up the item. You can also get to this section from the description of the product you have already found (look for the Used & New link, it will take you to the item from Warehouse).
- Go to the Outlet section. This is where products left over after sales are sold. Sometimes, for sales, companies operating on Amazon bring tens of thousands of items to their warehouse at once. But if they are not all sold, Amazon requires them to pay money for storage, and it is easier for them to quickly sell off the remaining stock. Many products (clothing, kitchen utensils, pet supplies, shoes, gadgets, toys) come with discounts of up to 50%. Often, buying from Amazon Outlet is even more profitable than during the sales themselves.
- Use promo codes or Amazon coupons. They are also available on the website itself; there is even a special section for this. There are quite a lot of discount options there, and the easiest way is to search by category. You can save $10-$20 without any problem. At the same time, the number of coupons that can be used is not limited. Also, sometimes the option of adding all items to the cart but paying 2-3 days later works. Amazon may offer you a discount so that you still complete the order.
- Pay attention to Lightning Deals. They are also sometimes called Today's Deals. These are short-term sales that last no longer than one day. Discounts range from 10% to 80%, and products often sell out very quickly. Some great offers (for example, on iPad/iPhone) sell out in just a couple of hours. Therefore, it is sometimes useful to refresh the Lightning Deals page to see which Amazon promo codes are currently the most выгодные available.
- Keep an eye on Deals of the Day. They are also called Goldbox. There are fewer discounts here (about a thousand instead of 7 thousand), but they are even more interesting — at least in Amazon’s opinion. Check this section periodically; you may find something very unexpected and profitable here!
- Analyze price movements. Especially in the case of expensive purchases. If you want an egg cooker for $15, waiting a week to save $1-$2 makes little sense. But if you are buying a new PlayStation for $500, or an elegant dress for $200, then it is important not to hit the price “peak.” The best service for checking Amazon prices is considered to be CamelCamelCamel. There are charts here, a Top Price Drops section with the biggest price reductions that have happened recently (maybe it’s worth buying something?). Plus, you can set up a notification, and when the price of the product you are looking for drops, the service will let you know by e-mail.
- Use a Prime subscription! If you shop often on Amazon, this will help you save money. You get free delivery to the Pochtoy.com warehouse within 1-2 days, access to super discounts for subscribers, as well as lots of nice little extras (a free Twitch subscription, access to music and book services, a giant media library with thousands of movies and TV series, cloud storage for photos, and much more). And most importantly, you get access to Prime Day, the main discount day on Amazon, which takes place in the middle of summer. It is like an analogue of Black Friday, only within a single website. Moreover, the Prime subscription has a free period (click the “Start Your 30-Day Free Trial” button), so you can get all the perks and then cancel it. If you start thinking about how to get a refund for Amazon Prime, just cancel the subscription before the trial period ends. Otherwise, the full cost of the annual subscription will be charged to your card automatically.
Several bonus life hacks for Amazon USA:
don’t forget about price drops: if within 7 days after you purchased an item its price went down, you can write to Amazon support, and they will reimburse you the difference;
it is выгодно to buy Amazon Basics brand products — Amazon makes them itself, copying the best-selling items from other top manufacturers (only these products cost 30-50% less);
don’t forget to get cashback from Ebates and Mr. Rebates;
subscribe to Amazon’s newsletter;
install the Amazon app on your smartphone: there are some unique promotions there;
visit Amazon Launchpad — it features inexpensive products from brands that are just trying to make a name for themselves on the platform;
order sample product sets — they are often inexpensive, or even free.
Of course, this is far from everything. There are many ways to save money when shopping in America. But the most profitable life hack is, of course, not about shopping, but about shipping. After all, you can save a lot of money and then order delivery of these goods to Russia through these same stores for $70. Instead, we recommend using the services of Pochtoy.com. The shipping cost in this case will be only from $12, and your goods will arrive in Russia in just 5-10 days. Just register on our website, and enter the personal address received from us in the Shipping fields at American online stores. The packages will arrive at our warehouse and will appear in your personal account, and you will be able to choose the optimal option for their delivery to Russia.
