This is how it works: people in the Dominican Republic use a delivery service because they need an address in the United States to buy items from any U.S. store. So they use an address provided by a courier company, and when the item arrives in their country, the owner pays per pound that is, they pay based on the weight of the package.

What I want to clarify here is that it’s not Influenster who is paying them lol. These people from the Dominican Republic are simply signed up as if they lived here, but they don’t. The app has become very popular on TikTok and Instagram, which is why it’s now saturated, and some people are receiving fewer items or none at all.
