Money-Saving Tips

Ship in Bulk

Combining 3-5 items into one shipment reduces per-item shipping cost by 30-50% compared to shipping individually.

Remove Shoe Boxes

Shoe boxes add 200-400g and increase volume. Removing them can save $5-10 per pair.

Choose Standard for Non-Urgent Orders

Standard shipping is 40-60% cheaper than express. Only pay for speed if you actually need it.

Watch for Promotions

Agents run seasonal promotions. Check for discounts before you submit your shipping request.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I estimate shipping cost before ordering?

Add up the estimated weight of your items using the category guide above, add 10-15% for packaging, and check the shipping cost table for your weight range.

Should I remove shoe boxes to save money?

Yes, if you do not need the box. Removing shoe boxes reduces weight by 200-400g and lowers volumetric weight, saving $5-10 per pair.

Can I split a large haul into multiple shipments?

Yes, and it is often cheaper. Some shipping lines have better rates for packages under 5kg. Splitting can also reduce customs risk.
