Social & Local Finds from India.
Not everything worth buying from India has a tidy marketplace link. A lot of what people want is sold by an Instagram seller, a local shop with no website, or a maker who only takes WhatsApp orders. This service exists for exactly that gap — you send us what you’ve seen, however you saw it, and we take it from there.

What “Social & Local Finds” actually means
You share a screenshot, a photo, an Instagram post, or just describe what you saw and where — we identify the product, find a way to source it (often by contacting the seller directly), and bring it into our normal quote-and-ship process.
Worth knowing before you share an image
Sourcing this way can take a little longer than a direct marketplace link, since we may need to track down or contact the original seller first. Not everything found this way will be sourceable — we’ll tell you honestly if we can’t get something rather than guess.

How social & local sourcing works.
You share whatever you have — a screenshot, photo, or description — and we start by trying to identify exactly what it is and where it can be bought. If it’s from a seller with no formal storefront, we may contact them directly. Once sourcing is confirmed, the order follows our normal quote, buy, check, and ship process.
Why DS Corp vs. the alternative.
| Trying to Source It Yourself | With DS Corp | |
|---|---|---|
| Finding the seller | No website, no link, no obvious way to order from abroad | We track down and contact local or social sellers directly |
| Language and payment | Local sellers may not handle international buyers or payments | We manage the local-side transaction on your behalf |
| Verifying it’s real | Hard to know if an Instagram seller is trustworthy from abroad | We physically inspect the item before it ships, same as any other order |

Social & Local Finds — FAQ
Can you source something I only saw on Instagram, with no website or link?
Yes — this is exactly what this service is for. Share a screenshot or describe what you saw and where, and we’ll try to identify and source it, often by contacting the seller directly.
What if you can’t find or source what I’m looking for?
We’ll tell you honestly if something isn’t sourceable rather than guess or substitute. No payment is taken until we’ve confirmed we can get it.
Does sourcing from a local seller or Instagram take longer than a marketplace order?
It can, since we may need to track down or contact the seller first before we can quote. We’ll let you know realistic timing once we’ve identified the source.
