How Farm Rio started

This article is independent and not affiliated with Farm Rio. Trademarks belong to their respective owners. We are not an authorized dealer.

This is a short, independent history of Farm Rio. It is not a catalog, and Brazil Buying Agent does not speak for the brand.

In 1997 Kátia Barros and Marcelo Bastos set up a stand for Farm at the Babilônia Feira Hype market in Rio de Janeiro. A store followed. The prints became the reason people look for the Brazil assortment. The label later sat with Grupo Soma. A photo from an old drop may already be gone. This article is context only. The order page is where the USD price is written, after you enter the BRL shelf figure.

From a Brazilian checkout to our warehouse

Many Brazilian sites expect a CPF tax number, a local card, PIX, a boleto bank slip, or a long installment plan. Those paths fail for a shopper abroad. Brazil Buying Agent pays the domestic checkout after you approve the USD lines. The seller ships to our warehouse in Brazil. We match the box to your order page. If a promo ends or a bundle changes, we stop and write the new total. We do not pay a higher cart in silence.

Service fee and the two payments

Read the service fee on pricing before you approve. We add that fee when we write the order page. The first USD total covers the goods and the service fee. It does not include the export bill. When the parcel is at our warehouse, we weigh it and write a second USD amount. Use the shipping calculator only to plan. Type the shelf figure in BRL. The page you approve is in USD.

Combine sellers, then ship once

A phone from one shop and shirts from another do not need two international labels. Ask us to hold pieces at the warehouse. We combine them when the products and the paperwork allow it. Fragile jewelry and heavy appliances may still need their own cartons. Service fee rules stay on pricing. Rough weight bands are on the shipping calculator. You entered BRL for the goods. Final shipping is the weighed parcel, written in USD.

Details that save a rejected order

Tell us if the item is a gift or if Portuguese-only packaging is a problem. We can photograph a label before export when you ask in order comments. Many Brazilian cities are about 127V, and others are 220V, both at 60Hz. Plugs follow the type N pattern. A hair tool that looks cheap in BRL can be useless at home. Summer heat is hard on chocolate and some creams. Mention heat if the goods will sit before the second payment. We buy only the item you approved.

From the workshop story to a real purchase

History explains why shoppers look for Farm Rio in Brazil. It does not reserve stock. When you want a current piece, send the Brazilian product link or a boutique note. We check domestic availability, write USD item lines and the service fee, and ship after you approve both payment stages. See pricing and the shipping calculator. Enter the shelf price in BRL.
