30, 180 or 210 days free by plan. Extra days are $1 per lb per day for up to 15 days. Longer storage lets you wait for sales, collect orders from several stores and ship them together in one box, which usually costs far less than shipping each parcel on its own.
$10 per item on Basic and $5 on Premium. Testing is a simple way to avoid paying international shipping on a faulty laptop, phone or console, and to get it back to the seller while you are still inside the return window.
Free on Premium and Business. A wrong apartment number or postcode is one of the most common reasons parcels are delayed, so fixing it before the box leaves the US saves time and money.
$10 minimum, at most 2% of declared value. Report damage within 3 days. Insurance is optional, but we recommend it for electronics, jewellery and other high-value items. Keep your unboxing photos in case you need to file a claim.
Business members get a dedicated account manager. Your account manager can help plan large or recurring shipments, explain cost breakdowns and keep you updated on every parcel without you having to chase.
2 Fast Lane parcels a month on Basic; unlimited on Business. Fast Lane is useful for gifts, urgent replacement parts or anything you need for a fixed date, because your parcel skips the standard processing queue.
