Buy For Me (Buy4me): How to Submit a Purchase Request

Boxit4me’s Buy For Me (Buy4me) feature lets you ask our team to purchase items on your behalf when you can’t buy directly from a merchant (payment restrictions, card declines, store policies, or checkout issues). You submit the product details in your account, and we verify the request before placing the order with the merchant/supplier.

Use this guide to fill the request correctly so your order can be verified quickly and placed without delays.

Before you submit a Buy4me request

To keep your request accurate and reduce back-and-forth, check these basics first:

• Make sure the product page shows the item in stock and available for purchase.
• Confirm the unit price and currency on the merchant page.
• Choose the exact size, color, and variant you want.
• If the product has multiple options, copy the URL that opens the correct selection (or add details in the fields below).

If you’re unsure about address formatting for merchant checkout requirements, review how to use your boxit4me address at checkout.

How to add items in the Buy4me form

In your account, add each product as a separate line item, then click Buy4me to submit.

Important: Submit one product per entry so the verification step is clean (pricing, variants, and availability are easier to confirm).

Field-by-field guide (what to enter)

Below is exactly what each field is for and how to complete it correctly.

Product name*

Enter the full product name as shown on the merchant page.

Best practice: Include key identifiers like model, generation, pack size, or capacity.
Good examples:

• “Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) USB-C”
• “Nike Air Force 1 ’07 Men’s Shoes”
• “Anker USB-C Charger 65W (GaN)”

URL*

Paste the direct product page link.

Best practice:

• Use the URL for the exact variant if the site supports variant-specific URLs.
• Avoid shortened links if possible.

Quantity*

Enter how many units you want for this specific product.

Tip: If you want different sizes/colors of the same item, add them as separate product entries.

Unit price in $*

Enter the unit price for one item in USD.

Important:

• Enter the item price only (not including shipping, taxes, or discount codes) unless your workflow requires otherwise.
• If the price changes often (sales/flash deals), expect verification to confirm the current price before purchase.

Part number / Order Number (optional)

Use this when the merchant lists:

• SKU
• Part number
• Model number
• ASIN (common on Amazon)
• Supplier reference code

Why it matters: It prevents mistakes when product names are similar.

Size (optional, but required when the product has variants)

Enter the exact size or variant.

Examples:

• “US 10 / EU 44”
• “500 ml”
• “128 GB”
• “Pack of 2”

If size selection is only available as a dropdown on the merchant page, include the selected size here as well.

Color (optional, but required when the product has variants)

Enter the exact color name as shown on the merchant page.

Examples:

• “Black”
• “Midnight”
• “White/Red”
• “Natural Titanium”

Merchant / supplier

Enter the store name or seller.

Examples:

• “Amazon”
• “Walmart”
• “Nike”
• “Best Buy”
• “Seller name (Marketplace vendor)”

Best practice: If the marketplace has multiple sellers, specify the intended seller in this field.

Product URL in merchant website

If your form includes both URL and Product URL in merchant website, use them like this:

• URL: the link you copied (can be a deep link or shared link)
• Product URL in merchant website: the canonical link that clearly identifies the item on the merchant’s own site

If there’s no difference, paste the same link in both fields.

What happens after you submit (verification process)

After you click Buy4me, the Boxit4me team verifies your request before placing the order. Verification typically checks:

• Product availability (in stock / backorder)
• Correct variant (size/color/model)
• Current price vs your entered unit price
• Seller/merchant legitimacy (especially for marketplaces)
• Any obvious restrictions that could block forwarding

If anything doesn’t match (out of stock, price changed, wrong variant link), we may need clarification before purchase.

Common issues that delay Buy4me requests

Variant not specified

If size or color isn’t filled and the product has multiple variants, the request can’t be verified safely.

Fix: Add size and color and ensure the URL matches the selected variant.

Price changes during sales

Flash sales and dynamic pricing can change quickly.

Fix: Use the current price when submitting and be prepared for verification to confirm a new price.

Marketplace seller not specified

Some items show multiple sellers with different conditions.

Fix: Specify the seller name in Merchant/supplier when applicable.

Link doesn’t open the correct product

Some sites redirect by region, cookies, or app links.

Fix: Use a browser link that opens the product page normally (not an app-only link).

Tips for faster approval

• Add one product per entry (don’t bundle different items together)
• Include part/model numbers when available
• Always provide size and color for variants
• Use a clean, direct product URL
• Double-check unit price in USD
