How to Buy Wholesale Perfumes in Miami from Latin America

Scanning the items of an order in the warehouse

Miami is the main trade bridge between the United States and Latin America, and many of the perfumes sold in the region come through here. If you run a store, sell on social media or distribute in your country, buying here gives you access to the brands that move fastest, at wholesale prices and with stock available.

This guide walks you step by step through a wholesale purchase at Shoppex when you are outside the United States: from creating your account to the moment your courier or freight forwarder picks up the boxes at our warehouse in Doral.

Before you start: what your country requires

Every country has its own rules for importing perfumes: sanitary registration, import permits, taxes and limits for courier shipments. Check them with your customs broker or freight forwarder before your first purchase.

If you import into Colombia or Panama, we have detailed guides in Spanish: importing perfumes into Colombia and importing perfumes into Panama.

Step 1: create your free account

Sign up on our wholesale platform. Activate your account from the email we send you and log in: you will see prices, today’s stock and the full catalog.

Under Downloads you will find the price list in Excel and our best-seller list. If it is your first order, that list is a good place to start: brands like Lattafa, Armaf and Bharara have several perfumes on it.

Step 2: build your order

Orders start at $1,000, and you can combine different products to reach that amount. Your price depends on your order total:

  • From $1,000: our entry price level.
  • From $2,500: your whole order moves to a better price level, earns Shoppex Rewards and gets an assigned sales representative following up with you.
  • From $10,000: our best price level.

Step 3: we confirm availability and you pay

When you send your order, our team confirms availability and sends you the sales order to pay. We accept domestic and international bank transfers, USDT and credit cards.

Step 4: we prepare your order

Preparation time depends on the type of inventory and is counted from when your payment is received:

  • Fast Shipping items: 1 to 3 business days.
  • Back Order items: 5 to 7 business days.

Every original perfume’s packaging includes lot numbers and UPC or EAN codes, which you can use to verify its authenticity.

Step 5: your courier or forwarder picks it up in Doral

Sales are delivered at our warehouse in Doral, Florida, where your courier or freight forwarder picks up the order and takes it to your country. Once your order is ready, we send you the real weight and dimensions of the boxes so your carrier can quote the shipment; that is why shipping costs are known at that point.

If your forwarder’s warehouse is in Doral or within 5 miles of ours, we deliver the order: free on orders over $5,000 and for a flat $30 below that.

What buying ex works means

Ex works (EXW) means our part ends when we hand over the order at our warehouse. From there, transport, insurance and customs are handled by your courier or freight forwarder.

The upside is that you choose who to work with and negotiate their rate. When choosing one, look for:

  • Experience with perfumes. Because of the alcohol, they travel as dangerous goods, and not every carrier accepts them by air.
  • Everything in writing: the rate, transit time and what is included (insurance, customs clearance, delivery in your city).
  • A Miami warehouse that receives commercial cargo. If it is in Doral, we deliver the order ourselves.
