Three things to know that will make your first order smooth.
You Don't Need a Foreign Card
iShopUship accepts Egyptian Pound payments via Paymob. Any Egyptian debit or credit card works — CIB, NBE, Banque Misr, Meeza, or any Visa/Mastercard issued in Egypt. No USD account or foreign currency needed.
Just Paste a Product Link
Adding items is effortless — copy a product link from Amazon, Noon, Trendyol, ASOS, Zara or eBay and paste it into your iShopUship cart. On your phone, just tap Share and choose iShopUship. We fetch the price, image, colour and size automatically.
Understand the Fees Upfront
iShopUship charges 10% of the total item value (minimum $10 per order). This covers the platform fee and the traveler's earning. All fees are shown in EGP before you confirm — no surprises at checkout.
How to Place Your First Order
Create Your Account
Sign up at ishopuship.com with your email address. It's free — you only pay when you actually place an order. Verify your email and complete your delivery profile (your Egyptian address and phone number) so travelers know where to bring your items.
Find Products You Love
Browse Amazon (US, UK, Germany, Italy, UAE, KSA), Noon, Trendyol, ASOS, Zara, eBay and more — and we're adding stores regularly. When you find something you want, copy its product link.
Paste the Link into Your Cart
Open your iShopUship cart and paste the product link — or, on your phone, tap Share and choose iShopUship. We instantly fetch the item so you can confirm the colour, size and price before adding it.
Review Your iShopUship Cart
Open iShopUship and go to My Cart. You'll see all synced items with their prices in USD and the equivalent EGP total. Review the breakdown:
- Item total — the cost of the products themselves
- Platform fee — 10% of item total (min $10)
- Traveler fee — included in the platform fee
- Total in EGP — what you'll pay
Choose Your Payment Method
At checkout, choose between two payment methods:
Get Matched with a Traveler
Once payment is confirmed, your order is listed on our traveler matching system. Travelers flying from the item's origin country to Egypt can see your order and accept it. You'll receive a notification when a traveler is matched, along with their verified profile and expected delivery date.
Confirm Delivery with QR Code
Your traveler purchases the items, carries them to Egypt, and contacts you to arrange delivery. Meet in person or arrange a drop-off at your address. When you receive your items, open the iShopUship app, go to your order, and tap Confirm Delivery to generate a QR code. The traveler scans it, and payment is released to them instantly. Your order is complete.
Supported Stores
Anywhere a traveler can physically shop, you can order from. Here are the most popular.
All regional Amazons: US, UK, Germany, Italy, UAE, KSA. Largest selection of items. Paste any Amazon product link to add it.
Fast fashion and accessories at very low prices. Huge selection of clothing, shoes, and lifestyle items not available in Egypt.
Second-hand and rare items, electronics, collectibles, branded goods. Great for products that sell out quickly or aren't available new.
High-quality British footwear. Very popular among Egyptian shoppers for its durability and wide size range not available locally.
US electronics, laptops, cameras, gaming equipment, and accessories. Often significantly cheaper than Egyptian retail prices.
European fashion brands. Latest collections before they arrive in Egypt, at original prices without the Egyptian retail premium.
Tips for a Smooth Order
Be specific about variants
Include exact size, color, and model number when adding items. Travelers purchase exactly what you specify — unclear orders lead to delays or wrong items.
Check customs limits before ordering
Egypt allows personal imports up to approximately EGP 10,000 duty-free per traveler. Keep your order within traveler limits to avoid customs complications. See our Customs & Fees guide.
Order items available in the traveler's country
Make sure the item ships or is available in the traveler's origin country. Amazon.com items are only available in the US; a traveler flying from the UK needs items from Amazon.co.uk.
Electronics: check voltage compatibility
Egypt uses 220V / 50Hz. Some US electronics (110V) require a voltage converter. Laptops and phone chargers are typically dual-voltage; hair dryers and shavers may not be.
Used to Use Hitchhiker?
Hitchhiker.io — the popular peer-to-peer shopping app for Egypt — is no longer available. iShopUship is the direct replacement. Same model, same idea, but with EGP card payments (something Hitchhiker never offered), USDT crypto support, paste-a-link and mobile share for adding items, and a stronger QR-based delivery system.
