Why Portare

The barriers we remove

European private sellers rarely ship internationally. We close that gap.

🌐

Seller won't ship abroad

Most private sellers on Ricardo or Kleinanzeigen only deal locally. They won't even reply to foreign buyers.

✓ We contact them in their language, as a local buyer.

💬

The listing isn't in your language

Negotiating, asking the right questions, and reading condition details takes a fluent local speaker - across multiple European markets.

✓ We negotiate natively in German, Italian, Spanish, Greek and English.

📦

No local pickup address

Many sellers insist on personal collection. Without a European address, the deal is simply off.

✓ We collect in person across CH, DE, and AT.

🛃

Customs complexity

International shipments - especially from Switzerland - involve customs declarations, export docs, and duty calculations.

✓ We handle all paperwork end-to-end.

🔍

No way to check what you're getting

Buying from across the world means trusting the seller's word. Photos can be old, conditions overstated, parts missing.

✓ We inspect and photograph every item after purchase, before it ships.

💶

Payment barriers

Swiss sellers expect Twint. German sellers want bank transfer. International cards are often refused.

✓ We pay locally, you pay us.

The process

From listing to your door

Four steps. Fully managed. You sit back.

01

Send us the link

Share the listing URL from any European marketplace. We review it and send you a quote within 24 hours.

02

We contact the seller

We reach out in the seller's language, negotiate if appropriate, and confirm availability and condition.

03

We collect and inspect

We collect the item (in person across CH/DE/AT, or have the seller ship it to us), inspect it against the listing, document it with photos, and pack it securely.

04

Shipped to your door

We handle customs export, choose the right carrier, and ship directly to your address anywhere in the world.
