Where we buy
The right store for the right thing
Every store below, priced and delivered by XOONX — one final number, customs on us. Send a link from any of them, or from anywhere else.
Almost anything, and the deepest stock in the US. The obvious first place to look.
Third-party sellers vary — send us the link and we check the seller before we buy.
US
Everyday prices on household things, often below Amazon on the same item.
Strong on bulk and household sizes, which are usually worth the weight.
US
Electronics with proper manufacturer warranties, and the widest laptop range.
Manufacturer warranties are usually international — worth having on a laptop.
US
Own-brand quality that punches above its price, especially homeware and kids'.
Their own labels are the reason to shop here; the national brands rarely beat Amazon.
US
Supplements and natural products, with expiry dates you can actually check.
Supplements are heavy for their size — a few large bottles often price better than many small ones.
US
Genuine watches well below boutique prices, with the paperwork to match.
Watches carry a higher customs rate — it is already inside the number we quote you.
US

Perfumes and aerosols have restrictions. Ask us first and we will tell you plainly.
US
The full US size run and colourways that never make it to the region.
US sizing runs about half a size large against European — send us your usual size and we will check.

US
Every current Mac, iPhone and iPad, direct from Apple.
Engraving and build-to-order add days before it ships.

Computer parts and components, strongest for anyone building a machine.

Tools, hardware and appliance parts.

Department-store brands, and where the seasonal sales are worth timing.
US sizing throughout; tell us your usual size and we will convert it.
US
Upper-end labels, and the Rack outlet for the same names at less.
US sizing; shoes run to US lasts.
US
Makeup and skincare across drugstore and prestige, usually under Sephora on price.
Shade names differ between brands — send the exact shade or a photo.
US
Shoes in every width and half-size, which the sports stores rarely stock.
Widths matter here — send US size and width if you know it.
US
Laptops, components and anything a computer needs, at keen prices.
Some prices are in-store only — the online figure is the one we can buy at.
US
Everyday skincare, vitamins and household names at pharmacy prices.
Medicines are not something we import — we buy the cosmetics, vitamins and general goods only.
US
The same everyday range as CVS, with different brands on offer week to week.

US
Pens, paper, planners and office kit — the category nobody else on this list covers.

Send the VIN or the exact year, make, model and engine — a part number alone is not enough.
US
Belgian chocolate and the gift boxes that are hard to find in Egypt.
Chocolate suffers in summer heat — we will tell you honestly when to wait.
US
Serious sports kit — training, running, golf, camping — beyond what the big stores stock.
Bulky equipment prices on volume, not weight; a tent costs more to bring than it looks.
US
Leather bags and small goods, direct from the brand rather than a reseller.
Outlet and full-price lines differ in leather and construction — we will say which one a link is.
US
Designer fragrance at discount, including sizes the counters do not sell.
Testers cost much less and are the same liquid, usually in a plain box — say if that suits you.

Every current set, plus the exclusives only LEGO itself sells.

The upper end of the kitchen — cookware, knives and machines that last.

Contemporary designer womenswear, curated tightly and photographed well.
Owned by Amazon, but stock and pricing are its own.
