So, I’ve been meaning to make this for a while for those of you in different countries what detergents would you like to try from other peoples countries say for example Australia to the United States, and payment is preferred but optional but must be discussed in in private



There has been detergent that I’ve wanted to try, it’s a powdered tide,

Please let me know if there are any detergent you guys would like to try from Australia, I’ll be happy to help, please note shipping the detergent may actually be more expensive than what it would cost to buy, if anybody wants anything from me I will bother charging myself but the other person would need to pay postag

Sorry if this seems so humble jumble and like I’m not right in the head, I just actually don’t know really how to ask this question

What a wonderful idea

Issue with shipping powdered detergents is going to be cost.

Since postal service here (USPS) and other shippers such as FedEx, UPS, etc... all use dimensional pricing. Thus heavy packages even when comparatively small are often dear to ship.

When one can lay hands on powdered detergents today usually boxes aren't the small "ultra" of old.

There are ways around this however. Coin vend sizes of Tide or whatever powdered detergent will fit in smaller shipping boxes. Also there are USPS flat rate boxes where weight isn't an issue. Long as things fit easily into package and it is sealed it's good to go.

On that last bit other alternative for powdered detergent is to open and pour contents into a heavy/thick ziplock bag or some sort of small bin liner. Again using USPS Priority Mail flat rate boxes weight won't matter.

I did some of these exchanges a dozen or more years ago, and as Launderess says, the shipping was brutally expensive. I can’t imagine how bad it would be now.

But in case it’s helpful, Adam, one of my Aussie correspondents said that he could get Tide powder at Costco, I think in Melbourne. So if there’s a Costco near you, it might be your best option.

Oh wow, I didn’t even know Costco did powders, specifically

For tide, as I’ve seen the liquids and pods there but not actually any powder apart from either their in-house brand or BioZet

And thank you laundress, there might be a couple of powders that you can try and they actually do come in a small package such as “Cussons ‘Radiant’”

One can often order international laundry and other products on Amazon.com. Most stuff comes from third party sellers that may or may not be shipped via Amazon.
