iFixit ships internationally, but there’s more than one iFixit store. The US store, ifixit.com, ships from California and Tennessee to a fixed list of countries. Europe has its own store, which ships from Germany, and UK buyers use a separate UK store. The detail that catches most people out is batteries. The US store can’t send lithium-ion batteries anywhere outside the US except Canada and Mexico. Here’s how iFixit shipping works now, what it costs, and what to do if your country isn’t on the list.
The short answer
If your country is on iFixit’s US shipping list, which includes Australia, India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Nigeria and South Africa among others, you can order tools and most parts directly. If you’re in Europe, use the EU store, and if you’re in the UK, use the UK store. If your country isn’t listed, or you need something the US store won’t send abroad, order to a US forwarding address. Batteries are the exception, so ask us before you buy one. Between its US, EU and UK stores, iFixit ships worldwide repair parts and tools, plus replacement parts, to most countries, though not every country is covered.
What country is iFixit from, and where does it ship from?
iFixit is an American company, founded in 2003 and based in San Luis Obispo, California. According to its US shipping policy, orders from ifixit.com ship from US warehouses in San Luis Obispo and Chattanooga, Tennessee. EU store orders ship from Stuttgart, Germany. That’s why “europe ifixit” and the US site can show different prices, stock and delivery times.
Which countries does iFixit ship to?
From the US store, iFixit lists the countries it supports on its international shipping options page. These are some of the main ones:
- Middle East: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Israel, Egypt.
- Asia-Pacific: Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia.
- Americas: United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia.
- Africa: Nigeria, South Africa, Zimbabwe.
iFixit says it doesn’t ship to countries that aren’t on its list, and the list changes over time. Angola and Ghana aren’t on it, for example. For Poland and the rest of the EU, the EU store handles orders. The checkout shows which options are open to you.
Does iFixit ship to India?
Yes. India is on the US store’s list for tools and most parts. Batteries can’t ship to India from the US store, and you pay customs duty when the parcel arrives.
iFixit and Mexico
Mexico is one of only two international countries, along with Canada, that can receive batteries from the US store. Since January 2025, orders to Mexico also need an RFC, CURP or foreign tax ID at checkout, or they may be cancelled.
The iFixit battery rule
This is where most international repair plans go wrong. According to iFixit’s battery shipping page, lithium-ion batteries go by ground only, to the lower 48 states, Canada and Mexico. They can’t go by air, so they can’t be sent to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories or any other country. If you order a phone or laptop battery to a country that isn’t eligible, iFixit’s support team will contact you to change the order.
Forwarders face the same airline rules. Some batteries installed in devices can travel, but loose spare batteries are tightly restricted. Before you buy a battery to forward, check our FAQs or message us so we can tell you if we can ship it to your country. Screens, tools, adhesives and most other parts ship without any trouble.
iFixit shipping cost and delivery times
Most in-stock orders ship within one business day. Orders placed before 4 p.m. Eastern on a weekday usually start processing the same day. In the US, standard shipping is free on eligible orders of $75 or more to the contiguous states. Internationally, the price depends on your country, the weight and the speed, and it’s shown at checkout. Delivery times from the US are roughly:
- Economy: 5–15 days overseas, 2–5 business days to Canada and Mexico.
- Priority or express: 3–7 business days overseas, faster to Canada and Mexico.
Those prices don’t include duties, taxes or brokerage fees. iFixit says these are paid by the person receiving the parcel, and it can’t mark orders as gifts. If you refuse a parcel, you’re charged the return shipping and any fees.
Getting iFixit parts through Global Shopaholics
It’s worth using a US address when your country isn’t on iFixit’s list, such as Angola or Ghana. It also makes sense when you want US free shipping, or when you’re combining iFixit with other US tech orders.

Create a free account to get your US address in New Castle, Delaware. Delaware has no sales tax, so it’s a tax-free address.
Step 2: Order on ifixit.com
Order on ifixit.com and put your suite number in address line 2. iFixit treats the order as delivered when it reaches a forwarder, so we log and photograph each parcel when it arrives. If your card is declined, use our assisted purchase service.

Consolidate iFixit with parts from Newegg or Best Buy.
