About Alley Oop

Know the true delivered cost before you buy.

Alley Oop was created to help shoppers in Central America understand the full cost of importing products before placing an order. Many online purchases involve additional shipping charges, import taxes, customs fees, and freight-forwarder costs that are difficult to estimate ahead of time. Our platform brings those costs together in one place. Simply paste a product link or shopping cart, compare shipping providers, and see an estimated breakdown of shipping, taxes, and total landed cost.

What Alley Oop can do

  • Estimate shipping costs from popular online retailers
  • Calculate estimated import taxes and duties
  • Compare multiple freight-forwarding services
  • Build carts with multiple items
  • Split shipping costs across group purchases
  • Provide transparent cost breakdowns before checkout
  • No account required and free to use
  • Available in English and Spanish across 7 Central American countries

🎯 Our goal

Our goal is simple: make international shopping more transparent, predictable, and affordable by helping users understand the real cost of importing products before they buy.
