How are shipping charges calculated?
The shipment cost of your consolidated parcel will be dependent on its weight and dimensions, along with the location on which we have to deliver it. So the shipping charges vary from parcel to parcel depending upon your merge package.
What happen in case of products returned by the Customs?
If any products are returned by the receiving country’s customs, the penalty and the return fine may be applicable by the selected courier. Please note that we only provide parcel forwarding services, but we are not responsible for local country clearance or customs.
My weight does not tie with the actual shipment weight?
This is the most common question we get. Minimum product weight is 0.5 Kg per item even if the product weight is lower. Dimension weight is charged when actual weight is lower than the dimension weight as couriers charge whichever is higher. Vape products, edible goods, liquid items, stuff toys weight is adjusted to ensure adequate packaging and local courier charges.
