Can you ship Trader Joe's products internationally?
Trader Joe's doesn't ship online or operate outside the US, so there's no official way to order abroad. A US personal shopper is the workaround: we shop the aisles for you — snacks, seasonings, coffee, beauty — and forward it to 17 countries in about 5–12 business days, on one all-in quote.

Why you can't just buy it locally
Trader Joe's has no international stores and no e-commerce — not even within the US. Its cult products (Everything But the Bagel seasoning, Mandarin Orange Chicken, the tote bags) are only obtainable in-store. That's why forwarding exists: we physically shop a US location and ship your list onward. You pay US shelf prices, not the inflated resale prices these items fetch overseas.
What it costs, roughly
| Item (US retail) | $25–90 (a mixed box of snacks & pantry items) |
| Our service fee | $10–18 |
| International shipping | $22–45 depending on country and weight |
| All-in total | $60–150 all-in |
Dry, shelf-stable goods (seasonings, snacks, coffee) travel best. We'll flag anything perishable or restricted before you pay.
A realistic range — your actual quote is one exact all-in price. We never publish raw courier rates; every quote is priced for your exact order and address.

Questions people ask
Can I mix lots of different Trader Joe's items in one order?+–
Yes — send a list or links/photos, and we build one shipment. Consolidating into a single box is usually the cheapest way to get a Trader Joe's haul abroad.
What Trader Joe's items can't be shipped?+–
Frozen and refrigerated items, and anything perishable, can't travel internationally. Shelf-stable snacks, seasonings, sauces, coffee, and beauty products are all fine. We'll tell you on the quote if something won't make it.
Is it cheaper than buying Trader Joe's from a reseller?+–
Almost always. Resellers bundle a big markup into the price; we charge the US shelf price plus a transparent service fee and real shipping, so you see exactly what each part costs.
¿Envían productos de Trader Joe's a Latinoamérica?+–
