Retail arbitrage support

Found an item the retail store won't ship? Or a store with no online shopping at all, like the dollar stores? We are here for you. Go ahead and order it. We will pick it up, inspect, label, pack and ship it to Amazon for you.

Online arbitrage support: "Buy For Me"

Your credit or debit card got rejected at checkout? That happens a lot with international cards at some of Canada's largest retailers. Tell us what to buy through the Buy For Me screen in your dashboard and forget the rest: we purchase the item, receive it, pack it and send it to Amazon. The purchasing service is completely free of charge. You still pay for the item, of course.

Who this is for

Arbitrage sellers on both sides of the border

For international sellers

Sell on Amazon Canada from anywhere

Card declined at a Canadian retailer's checkout? It happens a lot with international cards. Tell us what to buy on the Buy For Me screen and we purchase it for you, free of charge, and you pay only for the goods. From there we receive, prep and ship it to Amazon like any other inbound.

For local flippers

Pickup-only deals become inventory

In-store-only stock and pickup-only listings, dollar stores included, stop being deals you scroll past. Check out with curbside pickup, send us your receipt, and we pick up, inspect, label, pack and ship it to Amazon for you.

We work with online arbitrage, private label and wholesale sellers alike. We do not limit ourselves.

How it works

Retail arbitrage in three steps

Find the deal, check out

You've found an item with a good profit at a local retail store, but it's pickup only. No worries: add it to your cart and go to checkout.

Choose curbside pickup

Choose curbside pickup if asked, schedule the pickup at least 12 hours after purchase and notify us immediately. Fill out the contact and buyer details exactly as shown on your dashboard, then complete the payment. It's a similar process at every big retail store in Canada.

Send us the confirmation

On your dashboard, open the Retail Arbitrage Support screen, fill out the form and attach your order confirmation or receipt. One of our associates picks up, inspects, labels, packs and ships your inventory to Amazon, and you can monitor every step.
