Budget the parcel, not just the item

The imported price is one line in the cost. Keep the remaining charges visible before you commit.

Less actual weight can still bill heavier

Bulky packaging can push volumetric weight above actual weight. Compare packaging with the route’s divisor and increments. Removing boxes changes protection and may affect returns; settle return questions first.

Check the coupon’s eligible charge

Shipping coupons do not necessarily discount items, insurance, taxes or every route. Read expiry, minimum spend, cap and exclusions on the official platform. We do not apply an assumed promotion to invented freight.

Keep the quote you used

Record route, destination, packed weight, dimensions, quote date and transit estimate. Those details help explain a final charge difference in a support ticket.
