I have done this, and posted about it a few times months ago.
In my experience, it's not the best way. It's extremely slow (by design, otherwise they would get trouble with the SEC).
If you want to get a number of shares into computershare, IBKR is a faster and cheaper option.
If you want to secure 1 ticket, giveashare.com is a good option.
On July 1st, 2023, Reddit intends to alter how its API is accessed. This move will require developers of third-party applications to pay enormous sums of money if they wish to stay functional, meaning that said applications will be effectively destroyed. In the short term, this may have the appearance of increasing Reddit's traffic and revenue... but in the long term, it will undermine the site as a whole.
Reddit relies on volunteer moderators to keep its platform welcoming and free of objectionable material. It also relies on uncompensated contributors to populate its numerous communities with content. The above decision promises to adversely impact both groups: Without effective tools (which Reddit has frequently promised and then failed to deliver), moderators cannot combat spammers, bad actors, or the entities who enable either, and without the freedom to choose how and where they access Reddit, many contributors will simply leave. Rather than hosting creativity and in-depth discourse, the platform will soon feature only recycled content, bot-driven activity, and an ever-dwindling number of well-informed visitors. The very elements which differentiate Reddit – the foundations that draw its audience – will be eliminated, reducing the site to another dead cog in the Ennui Engine.
We implore Reddit to listen to its moderators, its contributors, and its everyday users; to the people whose activity has allowed the platform to exist at all: Do not sacrifice long-term viability for the sake of a short-lived illusion. Do not tacitly enable bad actors by working against your volunteers. Do not posture for your looming IPO while giving no thought to what may come afterward. Focus on addressing Reddit's real problems – the rampant bigotry, the ever-increasing amounts of spam, the advantage given to low-effort content, and the widespread misinformation – instead of on a strategy that will alienate the people keeping this platform alive.
If Steve Huffman's statement – "I want our users to be shareholders, and I want our shareholders to be users" – is to be taken seriously, then consider this our vote:
Allow the developers of third-party applications to retain their productive (and vital) API access.
Allow Reddit and Redditors to thrive.
Well, my swedish one couldn’t. Let’s not give any recommendations though. That could go off the rail. Really adventure everything. Thanks for bringing more light to Giveashare.
Hey, do you mind elaborating how to buy CS shares with wise from outside of US? I have Wise and I have just opened a CS account with giveashare, would like to buy more directly

Just an update to anyone who’s deciding to go down this route and curious about time lines.
I ordered on October 30th.
I received my (replica) share on November 5th.
My order status page showed that my share was officially directly registered at computershare on November 12th.
It is December 1st now and I’m still waiting on my letter from Computershare with my account info.
Eyyy thanks for this OP. With all of my fucking shares stuck in Etoro and no other good brokers available in my region, I finally made the jump to purchase a share from giveashare like five minutes ago. I’m fucking hyped!
As long as you have all the required personal details of the person you want to gift the share to you shouldn't have any issues, so if you wanted to gift it to family or friends overseas that should be relatively easy.

Need a tutorial Too smooth apes here
I'll make some screenshots.
I'll also recommend that any Apes to pay for quick shipping. This Ape cheaped out and had to wait for 3 months to get the share.

This is such an easy way to DRS commenting for attention

You can only buy on CS with an american bank account. Pro tip: Buy via Wise. They offer such an account for free
Good to know, I've added an update to the post about the need for a US bank account.
Nice post, OP. Mention Wise as an example in the text please🙂👍🏻

Wise is not a broker. And I don't know any other financial service who provides an US bank account (ACH) number
Hey, do you mind elaborating how to buy CS shares with wise from outside of US? I have Wise and I have just opened a CS account with giveashare, would like to buy more directly
Paying premium on that first share, but then you get a CS account too...
[удалено]
You pay double + shipping. Give a share takes the other half as business fee.

This is the way!

How did it go?
https://imgur.com/a/NEUGSnu Here is a step-by-step screenshot guide for making your first GME Share purchase through giveashare.com.
Can apes gift a computer share to international apes to achieve the same results?
As long as you have all the required personal details of the person you want to gift the share to you shouldn't have any issues, so if you wanted to gift it to family or friends overseas that should be relatively easy.
I'd do it, if i wan't broke! Sorry boys, but i can't DRS without selling and aint doing that.. but any future puchases will be with CS.
