A virtual locker is a service that gives you an address in the United States to receive your purchases and ship them to Colombia. It works like having a friend there who receives your packages, except that a locker is dedicated to this.
How does it work, step by step?
- You shop online at a US store.
- You enter your locker address as the shipping address.
- The locker receives your purchase and ships it to Colombia.
What do you gain with a locker?
You can buy from stores like Amazon, eBay or Walmart without waiting for a relative or a friend to travel. You also avoid the extra fees many stores charge to ship to Colombia, and you get access to promotions offered online in the United States.
