We log and photograph every parcel on arrival, remove bulky store packaging on request, combine your orders into one box to cut the billed weight, and send it with tracking to Colombo, Kandy or anywhere in Sri Lanka by DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS.

Sri Lanka Customs charges import duties and levies on almost every parcel. For bona fide personal items, customs import duty is waived up to LKR 15,000 and VAT up to LKR 10,000, but all other levies still apply. Above those limits, customs duty, VAT (18%) and levies such as the Ports and Airports Development Levy and the Social Security Contribution Levy may apply, depending on the item's HS code. The carrier helps you with clearance and tells you the amount due. Duties and taxes are not included in our shipping rates.
Extra charges apply to perfume. Lithium batteries, aerosols and liquids need special handling. Mobile phones and radio equipment need approval from the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission. Items banned by the carrier or by customs in Sri Lanka can't be shipped; see our FAQs for prohibited items or read how it works.
Shipping costs to Sri Lanka depend on the billed weight of your consolidated box and the carrier you choose. Delivery from the USA to Sri Lanka usually takes 3 to 15 days, depending on the carrier service you choose: DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS, all with tracking. The lowest prices come from consolidation: let several US orders arrive at your Delaware address, ship them together in one box, and pick the slowest service that still meets your deadline. We deliver to Colombo, Kandy, Galle, Jaffna, Negombo, Kurunegala and Matara.
Free storage is 30 days on Basic, 180 on Premium (US$9.99/month) and 210 on Business (US$14.99/month), and paid plans earn 2% or 3% cashback. Get an instant quote in the shipping calculator for Sri Lanka or compare our subscription plans.
