Books, games and hobby supplies from the USA with delivery to Ukraine are a category for people who love reading, collecting, music, board and video games, or crafts. American stores get new releases not yet available in Europe, sell exclusive collector series, and offer a much wider choice of musical instruments and craft materials. It is worth ordering hobby supplies from America when you need a specific item you cannot find at home.
What people look for in American stores
English-language books, comics, graphic novels and gift editions are easy to buy at Barnes & Noble and on Amazon. American editions often come out earlier than European ones, and Barnes & Noble has exclusive versions with special designs. Collectors will be interested in LEGO, with sets sold only in the USA or released earlier in the US store, as well as Funko with its Pop! figures and Pokémon Center with plush toys, cards and souvenirs not available in other countries.
GameStop sells video games, consoles, accessories and collector's editions, and Michaels sells supplies for drawing, crafts, scrapbooking, knitting and decor. Musicians should look at Sweetwater and Guitar Center: Fender and Gibson guitars, effects pedals, strings, microphones, audio interfaces and studio gear are often cheaper in the USA than in Europe.
The best time to shop is Black Friday and Cyber Monday, when discounts apply to LEGO, games and music gear alike. Collectible new releases are best caught on release day: popular exclusives sell out quickly.
What to know about shopping in this category
Before buying video games, check the region and compatibility: digital codes from a US store may work only on a US-region account. Physical discs for modern consoles are mostly not region-locked, but it is worth checking for your specific platform. Music electronics such as combo amps, synthesizers and drum machines are often designed for the 110-120 V grid, so look for models with a universal power supply or budget for an adapter.
Books and board games are fairly heavy, and large LEGO boxes take up a lot of space, which affects the cost of air delivery. Guitars in cases are large. Craft paints, glues and varnishes may be restricted for shipping, as are devices with lithium-ion batteries, so such purchases are best checked with Pokupka support in advance.
Another reason to order from the USA is the prices on collectible new releases and accessories. Licensed LEGO sets, Funko figures with exclusive stickers, Pokémon cards, limited comic editions and vinyl records appear first in American stores and sometimes never reach the European market at all. Musicians often buy strings, picks, pedals, cables and guitar parts in the USA: these are light items that are easy to ship by air. For crafts, Copic markers, watercolors, scrapbooking paper, yarn and embroidery kits are popular, as they are scarce here.
How to order with delivery to Ukraine
After you sign up with Pokupka, your account will show a US warehouse address. Enter it as the shipping address in your chosen store and pay for your order by card. When the parcels arrive, we will send them to Ukraine, to a branch or to your door.
