Personal shoppers are being offered at large companies and stores as well as becoming one of the number one home-based businesses among women. Personal shoppers not only aid those who physically can't shop for themselves, but also those with no time to shop or no idea what to get that special someone. Use these steps to learn about personal shoppers and how to talk with one.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Check with the store you are shopping at. Many companies and stores are now offering personal shoppers in their facilities to help with your shopping needs. They may also offer toll-free numbers or email personal shoppers as well.

  2. Step 2

    Find an independent personal shopper in your area. Look in your local yellow pages, check with the local Chamber of Commerce or ask around town to find a personal shopper in your area to help with your shopping needs. Sticking locally can often save you a little money, since you won't need to worry about shipping or delivery costs.

  3. Step 3

    Surf the web. Many personal shoppers now operate from the comfort of their own homes, doing the needed shopping online and making sure it gets shipped to the right place at the right time. This method may cost a little more because of shipping costs, but it opens your shopping choices up to more than your local area.

  4. Step 4

    Use a personal shopper website. There are websites that allow you to build wish lists, personal needs and gift lists. You enter in some key information about yourself or the people on your gift list, such as clothing sizes and favorite items, and the site will generate a list for you to choose from. Personal Shopper is just one of these sites (see Resources below).

on 9/19/2009 Good Personal shoppers are hard to find!I found this company out of Boston and was lucky that I did, they offer a variety of services from International shipping to Mail forwarding. Their rates were 35% less than what I was quoted at FedEx.

Neighborhood Parcel ([URL="http://neighborhoodparcel.com)"]neighborhoodparcel.com)[/URL] has dedicated Mail forwarding website ([URL="http://myuspostoffice.com"]myuspostoffice.com[/URL]) they were able to save me some money and their packaging service is superb! The artwork I bought from ebay arrived safely.

They even offered to buy it on my behalf thru their personal shopper service.:p
Other mail forwarding services are a nightmare, they are based in China and they claim they have office in the US, I had a bad experience with most until I found this company and I do not mind recommending them.
