- Written by Raminta Lilaite
Big Apple Buddy, an American start-up founded by two Aussies, is your personal shopping concierge that helps you buy exclusive items direct from the U.S.
New York, New York (July 31, 2015) Father¹s Day is just around the corner, and what Dad isn¹t interested in adding the latest high-tech toy or sports gear to his collection? For active dads, the Microsoft Band fitness tracker, which comes complete with a heart-rate monitor and advanced sleep sensors, is a popular choice. For handy fathers, the Seek Thermal, an infrared camera attachment for smartphones that makes it possible to perform a home energy audit within seconds, is a clear favourite.
Unfortunately, these and many other highly popular gadgets are not available in Australia (or anywhere other than the U.S.).
Big Apple Buddy, a U.S-based online start-up, offers a unique solution to this problem. Thanks to Big Apple Buddy, you can now order popular tech products, sports gear or your favorite designer brands from the U.S. with just a few clicks, and have them delivered to you in Australia within 2-4 business days.
By taking care of the entire shopping process from start to finish and delivering a highly responsive and personalised service, this newly established company already has a devoted following in over 50 countries around the world, with Australia forming its biggest customer base.
All costs are set out in a free quote with a minimum service fee of $40 per order. The service fee covers all the leg work the company does for its clients, including discount negotiations, packaging, shipping and providing personalized product and shopping advice. The product cost and shipping charges are passed on without markup.
Phillis Chan, a former Australian corporate lawyer who co-founded the company with her husband, says that as soon as they arrived to the U.S., they were flooded with shopping requests from friends and relatives in Australia and quickly became busy sending gadgets and designer items back home. Soon after, Big Apple Buddy was formed to be the local shopping buddy to anyone desiring that one special item not available in their own country.
