ReplyDeleteideeli and ruelala are the best private shopping clubs I have found for international shipping. I just pay with my Visa card and use my virtual address in the USA for shipping and billing. I can't guarantee it will work for you, but this works just fine for me when using my freight forwarder!
ReplyDeleteThis works fine for me too. I've been using my Russian debit card for paying on Ideeli and RueLaLa. I use the virtual USA address given by my shipping forwarder Shipito for shipping and billing.
ReplyDeleteI am actually most interested in the home furnishings/design/arts ones versus clothes. Any of the private shopping clubs offer such items?
ReplyDeleteIdeeli is an awesome company and they always have a great variety of stuff. They are also very interactive with their customers and have always replied to any emails or tweets regarding customer service. I know there are a lot of sites like these out there ...even ones specific for the home or wine! Private shopping sites is a great concept in this economy, I don't even shop elsewhere anymore!
ReplyDeleteModnique and Myhabit offer shipping to Australia. No much choice left :)
ReplyDeleteFor a shopper, it's not just about getting a product, it's about the process of finding it and buying it. Price deals and bargains are a great way to attract customers, but creating an experience works just as well. And it will keep shoppers coming back. Ideeli has done both, that is why I love Ideeli as well as some other private shopping clubs.
ReplyDeleteIdeeli is absulitely the best!
ReplyDeleteJust desire to say your article is as amazing. The clarity to your post is simply cool and that i could assume you are an expert in this subject. Fine with your permission let me to grab your RSS feed to keep up to date with impending post. Thank you one million and please carry on the enjoyable work.
ReplyDeleteDo any of the private shopping clubs sell clothing in non-standard sizes (petite, plus, tall)?
ReplyDeleteThis must be great time for flash sale site. I think they will have problems sourcing premium brand products in better times. At the moment brands may be prepared to allow their stock to be sold via private shopping clubs at very high discounts. But they should be wary of the brand damage of their goods being promoted at cut down prices. So enjoy luxury brands while you can.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking time writing this. Just joined Ideeli and made my first order!
ReplyDelete[...] I like USA private shopping clubs especially the ones that support international debit and credit [...]
ReplyDeleteI've joined several private shopping clubs. And I can't believe my eyes? Do they really sell high quality brands at these prices? Can't this be fake stuff or defective goods?
ReplyDeleteI like RueLaLa. You pay $9.95 for shipping and then can enjoy free shipping for 30 days.
ReplyDeleteI used to buy cheap clothing from Chinese shops. I was happy because of the dirt cheap prices. But the quality was not good. After trying Ideeli I started buying clothing of well known brands only. The quality is awesome. And I even spend less now because brand clothing can be worn much longer. And I can't even describe how happy I am to wear good quality clothing! I feel so happy about it! It is so great we have so many private shopping clubs now. I've been using Ideeli, Hautelook and Ruelala, but will join more sites.
ReplyDeleteAdd PLNDR to this list
ReplyDeletemodnique rulez!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried any european private shopping clubs? Won't it be faster and cheaper to ship from Europe instead of the USA?
ReplyDeletePricing and selection for women is great almost on any of these site. However I don't see much offers for kids and men. But let's face it, all these flash sales site are very female-oriented. But I guess 90% of their visitors are women. And women buy much more clothing and shoes anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flash sale site is Ruelala. However great items on it are sold too fast. Also I love Ideeli, especially their Red Sales.
Anybody know of any Ideeli-like shopping clubs that ship to Canada?
ReplyDeleteCan I pay with my russian credit card on these sites? Can they ship my order to Russian Federation?
ReplyDeleteHi there!
ReplyDeleteIdeeli and Hautelook have been looking great lately. I have found the selection and pricing better than Gilt. So I haven't been purchasing anything at Gilt lately.
Love Gilt! Nothing is even close to it.
ReplyDeleteI used to be suggested this web site via my cousin. I am not sure whether this publish is written via him as I've been using Ideeli for a couple of years now. I love it, but wanted to try more flash sale sites. Thanks for the invitations!
ReplyDeleteCan you send me Ideeli, Ruelala and Gilt invitations?

Many of them offer home stuff. And I will add some offering mostly home items soon. Stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteI ship my purchases to my shipping forwarder. And since I consolidate my packages, I don't really need international shipping.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI've seen some sales of petite and plus items on Ideeli. Such sales are pretty rare, but I don't really remember seeing these sizes in other private shopping clubs.
ReplyDeleteGood point!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy shopping!
ReplyDeletePrivate shopping clubs mentioned in the article sell great stuff. No fakes, no defective goods.
ReplyDeleteI like it too. And this shipping option looks good for me too. However I think that prices on RueLaLa are higher than on Ideeli.
ReplyDeleteBrand clothing is usually so much better indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt is very good. And it allows to ship to many countries of the world.
ReplyDeletePrices in Europe are usually higher than in the USA. But you should be able to get your purchases from Europe much faster if you live in the E.U.
ReplyDeletePlease see U.S. and canadian private shopping sites that offer shipping to Canada
ReplyDeleteThere are 3 american private shopping clubs for moms and kids. As for other private shopping clubs, most their sales are for women indeed.

ReplyDeleteMany thanks for writing this. I have found lots of real bargains on some of these private shopping clubs.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite private shopping clubs are Myhabit, Gilt and One King's Lane. I highly recommend you to take a look at the last one.
ReplyDeleteCurrently I'm in Thailand and don't really need much stuff from shops like this. And I don't even know whether there are any customs fees or taxes here for importing from the USA. But I will check this sites as soon as I get back to Australia.
ReplyDeleteI wish everything was that cheap here like it is in the USA. Thank you for sharing such useful services!
ReplyDeleteCan you recommend me some private shopping club in Europe: Slovakia, Hungary, Belgium, the Netherlands?
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
My email: kpsiuk@peperuna.pl
Hi Puella,
ReplyDeleteI have a list of private shopping clubs of Europe. I have tried european Zulily and BuyVIP only, because it cheaper for me to buy in the USA. May be some day european private shopping clubs will start shipping internationally and deducting VAT.
