Buying industrial equipment internationally is not always simple—especially when the supplier is based in Russia. This real customer case highlights how Shippex supports buyers who face payment barriers, currency restrictions, and complex export procedures.
The Challenge: Buying from Russia to Egypt
An Egyptian customer needed 25 pieces of a digital coating thickness gauge from a Russian supplier for commercial use. However, several obstacles made the transaction difficult:
❌ Russian Ruble (RUB) payment restrictions and international transfer limitations
❌ Supplier required local Russian coordination
❌ Shipment classified as commercial cargo, not personal parcels
❌ Complex export documentation and customs paperwork
❌ No reliable agent in Russia to handle purchasing and logistics
For many buyers, these challenges stop the deal completely.
The Shippex Solution: Personal Shopper & Parcel Forwarding from Russia
Shippex stepped in with a manual, hands-on service tailored for complex destinations like Russia. We provided:
✅ Local Russian agent & proxy to communicate directly with the supplier
✅ Purchase-on-behalf service, solving payment and currency issues
✅ Full export documentation preparation for commercial shipment
✅ Professional coordination with the exporter and courier
✅ Secure international shipping from Russia to Egypt
The goods were purchased, cleared for export, and shipped successfully—without the customer needing to deal with Russian banks, language barriers, or logistics risks.
Why This Service Is Different
This is not an automated checkout or instant-label service. Shippex offers manual personal shopper and parcel forwarding services for rare and challenging cases such as buying from Russia, high-value or commercial shipments, industrial tools or bulk orders, countries with payment restrictions or sanctions, and situations requiring local representation and documentation. Each case is reviewed individually to ensure compliance, accuracy, and cost efficiency.
Who Is This Service For?
This service is ideal for importers or business owners in Egypt, Africa, or the Middle East, buyers facing currency or bank transfer problems, anyone needing a trusted agent in Russia, customers looking for personal shopper services from Russia, or businesses searching for Russia-to-Egypt parcel forwarding or commercial shipping.
How to Request This Service
Because every case is unique, this service is available by direct contact only.
