France's electronics specialist, delivering in mainland France. Get a free French address, order as a local customer would, combine several orders into one shipment, and we forward it to Chile.
Darty does not ship abroad; its own communication points international customers to a French delivery address and a reshipping service. A receiving address in France is what puts you inside its delivery area.
Cameras, computing and audio travel anywhere. Kettles, dryers and small kitchen appliances are built for French mains and only suit a 220 V destination like Chile.
It is the classic surprise on a laptop bought in France. If you want a different layout, choose it deliberately rather than discovering it after the parcel has flown.
A real local address at checkout is all that stands between you and that cart.
Resendify gives you a real local address at our warehouses. Shop where the deals are, we collect, repack and forward — you stay in control the whole way.
Pick a warehouse in Spain, Germany, the UK or the US. We assign you a real street address — yours within minutes.
Use your Resendify address at checkout — Amazon DE, Zara, Decathlon, eBay, anywhere. Even sellers that don't ship abroad.

Darty is where France buys electronics and appliances, and it is a specialist rather than a general store: photo and audio, computing, phones, small kitchen appliances, and a service reputation built over decades. Its delivery is French. Darty does not ship abroad, and its own communication points international customers towards a French delivery address and a reshipping service — which is the route we provide.
The electrical question decides most of what is worth doing here, so let us put it first rather than last. France runs at 230 V and 50 Hz with type E sockets. Anything that is really a power supply — cameras, lenses, laptops, phones, tablets, headphones, most computing gear — is normally rated 100–240 V and travels anywhere with a plug adapter.
Anything with a heating element or a motor is built for French mains: kettles, hair dryers, blenders, vacuum cleaners, small kitchen appliances. Those work in Chile, whose grid at 220 V and 50 Hz is close enough, and do not work in Mexico at 127 V or Colombia at 110 V.
The second thing to weigh is the guarantee. The EU two-year legal guarantee applies to your French purchase and is exercised against the French seller, which means a claim involves sending the item back to France. That is strong protection and it is not a local service network — worth understanding before an expensive camera, not after.
So the good Darty basket from Latin America is photo and audio gear, computing, and accessories: dense, valuable, universally powered, and often priced well below the local importer.
Chile is the destination where Darty makes most sense: the grid runs at 220 V and 50 Hz against France's 230 V and 50 Hz, so even the kettles and the small kitchen appliances work as designed. It is the only one of these four destinations where the whole catalogue is on the table.
| Category | Travels well? |
|---|---|
| Cameras, lenses, audio, headphones | Yes — high value per kilo, universal power supplies |
| Laptops, tablets, phones, computing | Yes — normally rated 100–240 V |
| Kettles, hair dryers, blenders, vacuums | Only to Chile — built for 230 V / 50 Hz |
| Large appliances | No — heavy, and wired for French mains |
| Anything with a French keyboard (AZERTY) | Check first — the layout is not what you may expect |

If you last bought from abroad a couple of years ago, the rules you remember are gone. Until October 2025 an international purchase under US$41 entered Chile free of IVA and duty, and more than nine out of ten parcels arriving in the country used that band. On 25 October 2025 the exemption was eliminated. Today every international purchase is subject to 19% IVA, whatever it cost.
How that IVA reaches you depends on where you bought. For purchases up to US$500 on platforms registered with the Servicio de Impuestos Internos, the platform charges the 19% at checkout and the parcel is not charged again at the border.
Whether the shop you are buying from is on that register is worth checking before you order: if it is, the 19% appears at checkout; if it is not, the tax is settled when the shipment enters the country instead. Neither route is cheaper than the other — what changes is when you pay and who collects it, and being surprised at the door is the part worth avoiding.
Above US$500 the shipment leaves the simplified treatment and clears normally, where ad valorem duty can apply on top of IVA. Chile has trade agreements with the European Union, the United States, China and Turkey, among others, and their tariff preferences can reduce that duty when the origin of the goods is properly evidenced — a question decided at clearance, on the documentation that travels with the shipment.
| Item | Rule (2026) |
|---|---|
| The old US$41 exemption | Eliminated on 25 October 2025 |
| IVA | 19% on every international purchase, any value |
| Bought on an SII-registered platform, up to US$500 | IVA charged at checkout, not again at the border |
| Bought from a shop not on the SII register | IVA settled on entry instead of at checkout |
| Above US$500 | Ordinary clearance; ad valorem duty may apply |
| Trade agreements (EU, USA, China, Turkey…) | Can reduce duty where the origin of the goods is evidenced |

From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
No. Darty delivers in mainland France and does not ship abroad, so it does not deliver to Chile. You can still buy there with a receiving address in the store's own country: we take delivery, hold your parcels while you finish shopping, and forward them to you.

Usually yes — AZERTY. If you want QWERTY, filter for it deliberately. It is the single most common regret on a laptop bought in France and it is entirely avoidable.
No. The US$41 exemption was eliminated on 25 October 2025. Every international purchase is now subject to 19% IVA regardless of value.
Because AliExpress is registered with the SII, and for purchases up to US$500 registered platforms collect the 19% at the point of sale. European stores generally are not registered, so the IVA on those purchases is settled when the shipment enters Chile instead.
It does not touch IVA, which is due either way. What the agreement can affect is customs duty on shipments that clear ordinarily, and only when origin is properly evidenced at clearance.
