How it works

Your US address for shopping from Ghana

Most American stores do not ship to Ghana. A Golly locker address fixes that: it is your own receiving address at our partner warehouse in the United States, created free with your account. Any store that delivers within the US can now deliver to you.

Using it

  1. Copy your locker address from the app. It is under your account, formatted exactly the way US checkouts expect.
  2. Paste it at any US store’s checkout. Amazon, Nike, Target, eBay sellers — anywhere that ships domestically.
  3. Watch it check in. When your package reaches the warehouse it appears in the app, with photos of your items taken before they leave.
  4. Choose air or sea, and approve. You see the full price — shipping, duty and customs, and delivery in Ghana — before you commit. Air typically runs 5–7 days door to door; sea sails monthly and takes 4–6 weeks.

What it costs to have

Nothing. The address comes with your account, along with one in London and one in Canada. You pay only when you ship something, in cedis, with Mobile Money or a card.

If the store will not take your card

Some US stores refuse foreign payment. The stores built into the Golly app close that gap: you buy there directly in cedis and we handle the store checkout for you — see how concierge shopping works.

Good to know

Flammable liquids, aerosols, stand-alone batteries, weapons, perishables and restricted goods cannot ship. Everything else — from a phone to a full barrel’s worth of provisions — is fair game.
