Frequently asked questions

How quickly do I get my addresses?

Immediately. The moment you sign up, your personal US, UK and German addresses appear in your account, ready to use at any checkout.

How do I know my parcel has arrived at the warehouse?

We notify you as soon as it is received, with photos of the parcel — so you see exactly what arrived before deciding to ship or wait for more orders.

How does consolidation save money?

Every parcel carries a base charge, so four separate deliveries cost far more than one. We combine your orders into one box and remove surplus retail packaging, which lowers the volumetric weight couriers charge for.

How long can you store my parcels?

Free for 30 days at every warehouse — enough time to collect several orders into one shipment.

What does shipping cost?

It depends on the parcel and destination — use the shipping calculator for live courier prices before you commit. A 2 kg parcel from the UK to most of Europe starts at around £24.

What about customs and import taxes?

Depending on your country, import VAT and duty may apply — the courier collects them on delivery. Our duty calculator estimates the full landed cost before you buy.
