Do you want to buy clearance and outlet products in Europe but the store does not ship to your country, does not ship internationally, or only allows in-store pickup? It is one of the most common frustrations: you find a clearance offer, an outlet with huge discounts or an exclusive product that is not sold outside of Europe, and when you arrive at the payment you discover that you cannot receive it. With MDE you can: we give you a local box (address) in Europe so you can buy as a resident and we collect, consolidate and forward the package to your home, whether you are in Spain or Latin America. In this guide we explain where to find the best sales and European outlets, how to buy even in stores that only pick up in store or do not ship to your home, and how to receive everything with MDE.

What is clearance and outlet shopping in Europe (and why is it interesting)?
Clearance sales are end-of-season, end-of-stock or collection closing sales with discounts much higher than those of normal sales. Outlets are stores (physical or online) that permanently sell surpluses, previous seasons or small defects at reduced prices. Europe concentrates some of the best opportunities in the world: fashion, electronics, home, sports and luxury brands at prices that often do not exist in America.
The problem is not the price: it is the logistics. Many of these offers are limited to local buyers, do not offer international shipping, or only allow in-store pickup. That's where a European forwarding address changes the game.
Where to find sales and outlets in Europe
These are the most profitable sources to buy clearance and outlet products in the European market:
- Amazon Europe Outlets: The Amazon Outlet (Amazon Outlet and Amazon Warehouse) brings together clearance sales, revised returns and previous season products on Amazon.es, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr and Amazon.it, often with discounts of 30 to 60%.
- "Sale", "Outlet" and "Clearance" sections of the official European fashion, sports and electronics stores (many brands have their own online outlet).
- Physical outlets and villages (outlet centers) that sell in-store but do not ship outside the country: here in-store pickup with MDE is key.
- Marketplaces and European stock stores with balances, end of series and clearance pallets.
- Exclusive European products (limited editions, brands that are only distributed in Europe, regional launches) that never reach Latin America.
The rule of thumb: if the store allows domestic shipping within Europe or in-store pickup, MDE can help you receive it, even if it doesn't ship internationally.
How to buy exclusive products without home or international shipping
There are three typical situations and MDE has a solution for each one:
| Store situation | What normally happens? | Solution with MDE |
|---|---|---|
| Does national shipping within Europe, but not international | You cannot put your address in America | Use your European MDE address as the destination; we receive and forward to your country |
| Only allows collection in store (click & collect) | There is no home delivery option | We pick up the package at the store with the carrier label that we provide to you |
| Does not accept your foreign card or rejects forwarding addresses | Payment or registration fails | Service "Buy for me": we buy for you |
Stores that only pick up in store: label condition
In order for us to pick up an order that only offers in-store pickup, the store must be willing to prepare the package with the carrier label that we provide. This way the package is ready for the courier to pick it up and take it to our warehouse, without you having to go in person. It's a small but crucial detail: always confirm with the store that they agree to attach a shipping label before purchasing.
Exclusive products with shipping in Spain and the rest of Europe
Many exclusive products with shipping in Spain (or in Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom...) do not leave their country of origin. By using the MDE address in that country, you buy as a local customer: the store ships to a national address and we take care of the international leg to your home.
Buy products from Eastern Europe and the entire MDE network
If you are looking to buy products from Eastern Europe or any European market that is not easily accessible from America, our multi-country network makes it simple. MDE gives you real addresses in 10 countries: Spain, France, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, Czechia (gateway to Central and Eastern Europe), Turkey, United States, Hong Kong and China. From a single account you buy from any of them and we consolidate everything into a single shipment so you pay less.

Frequently asked questions
How can I buy clearance products in Europe if the store does not ship to my country?
Register with MDE, use your European address as the national shipping destination and we will forward the package to your address in Spain or Latin America. If the store does not accept your card or your registration, we use the "Buy for me" service and purchase for you. This way you access sales and outlets reserved for local customers.
Can I buy at the Amazon Europe outlet from Latin America?
Yes. The Amazon outlet (Amazon.es, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it and similar) accepts national shipments within Europe.

How do I receive exclusive products with shipping only in Spain?
Use your MDE address in Spain as the delivery address. The store treats it as a Spanish national shipment and we take care of the international leg to your home.

What happens if the store only allows in-store pickup?
We can pick up the order as long as the store agrees to prepare the package with the carrier label that we provide.
