The process involves purchasing goods from a major American retailer’s online platform within the United States and subsequently arranging for those items to be delivered to an address within El Salvador. This typically requires the use of a third-party shipping or freight forwarding service, as the retailer generally does not offer direct international shipping to that country.
This arrangement offers Salvadoran consumers access to a wider variety of products and potentially lower prices than may be available locally. It also circumvents limitations in local product availability and provides a means to acquire goods not typically imported into El Salvador. Historically, this practice has become more prevalent with the growth of e-commerce and the increasing accessibility of international shipping services.
