How to register a new parcel?

After ordering in an US online store, it will send you a tracking number. In the tracking code field, enter the tracking number assigned to you. Please note that this letter usually arrives a few days after ordering. In order to register a new parcel, click Register parcel and fill in the necessary information about the parcel. Please note that if you register a parcel more expensive than the customs limit, our built-in calculator will calculate the approximate duty amount you need to pay. You can also turn hints on how to fill in the fields on or off.

What is the minimum and maximum weight of a parcel?

There is no minimum weight for a parcel. You can order anything. The minimum estimated weight for air delivery is 300 grams. Anything that weighs less will be counted as 300 grams. Anything overweight will be billed at $12.00 per kilo.

  • Minimum air shipping cost is $3.60.
  • The maximum weight of one parcel (one place!) that can be sent by air is 30 kg (66 pounds). The maximum allowable length of the parcel is up to 1.5 meters for air delivery. Parcels exceeding the above dimensions may be shipped as commercial cargo. Terms and rates are agreed in advance.
What should I do if my parcel is stuck at customs?

Everyone who has ordered goods in the United States at least once knows that all goods that come to Ukraine go through the customs clearance procedure. This scares many, but there is nothing to be afraid of, unless you order something from the list of prohibited goods :)

Seriously though, you just need to learn a few basic things that will allow you to keep calm when your parcel going through the customs clearance procedure.

According to the legislation of Uzbekistan, goods up to $1000 (total amount per calendar quarter) are NOT subject to customs duty.

If the cost of the ordered goods exceeds $1000, you will have to pay 30% VAT (min $3) on the excess amount.Additional duties are also possible depending on the country of origin and product characteristics.
What to do to avoid complications with the customs?
- Always keep receipts, screenshots and other proof of the goods value to avoid misunderstandings. For example, if you order an expensive item, such as a tablet, and it costs you EUR 120, this may raise suspicion among customs officials, because they know how much it actually costs. But you will be able to provide evidence that the cost was exactly that and you are not fooling anyone.
- Always order the goods for an individual. If the goods are ordered in the name of a legal entity, customs clearance is treated differently.
- Do not order many of same goods. In this case, “many” means more than 6. Many identical goods can be regarded as an attempt to deliver a commercial cargo. And dealing with a commercial cargo is a completely different story.
Basically, these are the reasons why your parcel may get “stuck” at customs.

To be more brief, the reasons for delay may be:
- Exceeding the customs limit (30 kg or $1000).
- Prohibited items detected.
- A parcel sent to an individual is full of the same things and is suspected to be a commercial cargo.
- There are doubts that the item cost is indicated honestly.

No need to panic if your parcel is detained at customs.

You can solve the issue as follows.
- Pay the duty if you have exceeded the limit.
- Provide proof that the product is worth exactly this amount.

If you ordered a product with our help, your communication with customs would be minimal. We will only send you a receipt for duty payment. But sometimes we can ask you for documents at the request of the customs, namely:
- Passport of the consignee (scanned copy).
- Documents confirming the value of the goods (invoices, screenshots, etc.).
- Statement from the bank that indicates what amount was withdrawn.

As for timing, sometimes the parcel can be kept at customs for even more than 10 days, but this happens at peak times, for example, during the holidays. Do not worry. If there are no prohibited things in the parcel, it will be delivered to you as soon as the customs “jam” ends.

When and how is payment made?

Payment is made to a Uzbekistan bank card, other payment systems are available upon request. We cannot send unpaid orders to Uzbekistan.
Cancellation of the order is possible provided that the parcel is still in the US warehouse. Please note that partial cancellation is not possible either. You can only cancel the entire order.

What are the buy out service conditions?

The commission for the buy out service is 10–12%, the minimum commission is USD 3. Payment is made after the order is sent by the store. 100% prepayment. It is not possible to make changes to the order after the goods are redeemed.

When are the best discounts in American stores?

January 1st. New Year Sales

Since the main winter holiday in the USA is Christmas, not New Year’s Eve, New Year’s sales are not as big as Christmas ones. Delivery to stores begins on January 2, so there will be no “stuck” parcels due to festive commotions.

February 14th. Saint Valentine’s Day

Or simply Valentine’s Day. On this holiday, it is customary to give each other gifts reminding of love and romance: sweets, jewelry and toys in the shape of a heart, postcards with confessions (including anonymous ones), and, according to statistics, a large number of Americans also propose to their significant others. The holiday is already known in our country, Europe and Asia, but it is still not as popular anywhere else as in the USA .

Before the holiday, American stores often hold sales and promotions for items with love symbols and jewelry. About two weeks before the holiday, you can buy goods “for him and for her”. It can be anything from wedding rings to sneakers. For example, two pairs of sweaters for the price of one.

Third Monday in February. Presidents’ Day

This is a holiday that used to be dedicated to the birthday of George Washington, so it is only celebrated in the USA.

Many stores are organizing short-term sales for this day. First of all, this applies to patriotic stores and goods, as well as country and western goods. It means there is a chance to buy cowboy boots or shirts cheaper than usual.

March 17th. St. Patrick’s Day

This holiday moved to USA from Great Britain and Ireland along with the first settlers, that is, quite a long time ago. Saint Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland.

Many stores hold various promotions and sales in honor of this holiday. There is a great chance to buy something emerald green at a discount since this color is symbolic for St. Patrick’s Day.

Somewhere between March 22nd and April 25th. Catholic Easter

The symbol of Easter in the West is not only a decorated egg, but also a rabbit that brings these eggs.

Basically, the stores sell out religious good during this period. But since Easter has entered the social life long ago, discounts may also be on food (chocolate Easter bunnies) and other goods that have nothing to do with the holiday directly.

Second Sunday in May. Mother’s Day

Unlike March 8th, only mothers and pregnant women are congratulated on this day. This is an extremely family holiday. It is customary for children to give gifts to their mothers.

Before this date, stores hold campaigns and discounts on women’s goods, and not only those that can be given as a gift: it also applies to clothes, underwear, and cosmetics.

Third Sunday in June. Father’s Day

This is also a family holiday when men who have children are congratulated. It has been celebrated in the USA since 1966.

It would be logical to assume that the stores make big discounts and hold various campaigns for men’s goods on this day.

July 4th. Independence Day

The day when the US Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 is the largest patriotic holiday in the United States.

Many American stores hold campaigns for certain types of goods for this day, or have their entire assortment discounted on July 1st and 2nd.

First Monday in September. Labor Day

This holiday has been celebrated in the United States since 1880. Street processions dedicated to the solidarity of workers are held on this day. It is also the unofficial holiday of the end of summer, and it is customary (if the weather permits) to spend it outdoors, as, in fact, July 4th.

Therefore, for this holiday you can buy all the goods for camping and BBQ at discounts. Plenty of stores are also having huge sales of summer clothes, as if hinting that summer is over.

October 31st. Halloween

All Saints' Eve. The holiday has pagan roots, so it is celebrated very merrily, like other pagan holidays. On this day, children dress up in costumes of evil spirits and go from house to house begging for sweets. Adults go to costume parties.

This holiday is so much fun that it is now popular not only in the USA but even in our country.

Before Halloween, sales are held by youth stores, and you can buy a costume for half the price two weeks before the holiday. As for the rest, almost all stores have sales either for the entire assortment or only for certain products one way or another.

Fourth Friday of November. Black Friday

This is the first Friday after Thanksgiving. On this day, the Christmas sales begin and last until December 25th. Despite the fact that this is not an official holiday or not a holiday at all, many take a day off on this date. Therefore, all stores offer the maximum possible discounts.

Cyber Monday

Coming immediately after Black Friday. Office workers return to work and start shopping online for Christmas. This day, online stores offer the most incredible discounts of the whole year.

December 25th. Christmas

Since it is customary to give gifts to relatives on Christmas (like we do on New Year’s Eve), Christmas discounts are the greatest and the most generous of the whole year.

But note that you can find a good selection of gifts only at the very beginning of sales; the closer to Christmas, the more difficult it is to find the necessary size or model. Plus, processing slows down at this time and the mail service is overloaded (and this happens not only in the USA, but around the world too), so goods delivery becomes slower during Christmas sales.

How to check the trustworthiness of an eBay seller?

Literally everyone can be a seller on eBay, be it a brand (a legal entity) or an ordinary random man who found something in the attic and decided to sell it.

Therefore, there is always the possibility of falling for scammers. There are many fraud types on eBay. The most frequent of them are:

- You pay for the product, but it does not get sent to you.

- The item arrived does not match the description (for example, instead of a new phone you receive a used one), is of poor quality, or you have just received an empty box with no product.

- Selling fakes (when instead of a $2,000 Chanel bag comes an obvious fake worth $20 on a market day).

Naturally one would ask,how to check the seller on eBay?

eBay actually takes security very seriously. Therefore, it allows users to create seller ratings on eBay.

What should you pay attention to?
- The date of seller registration. Best if it is more than two years ago. Having a high rating means that the seller is sincere.

- The ratio of positive and negative reviews. Ideally, the rating should be between 99 and 100 percent. But if there are some negative reviews, please pay attention to when they were left. If they were left recently, it is better not to buy from this seller.

- Read reviews. If your English is not very good, use an online translator. If there are few negative reviews or only one, maybe the buyer is the problem, which also happens.

- Pay attention to the detailed seller rating (stars). Any buyer gets the opportunity to rate the seller on eBayaccording to the star system, which includes compliance of the description with the goods arrived, communication (how quickly the seller reacted to your questions, if any), delivery time, cost of delivery and packaging.

After the purchase, the seller will immediately rate you. And you are not in a hurry. In order to rate the seller oneBay, you will have to wait until your product arrives.

What bank card can be used to pay for goods in American online stores?

To pay for goods in an American online store, it is best to issue a personal VISA or MasterCard bank card. It does not matter if it is in UZS or a foreign currency. To increase the security, our experts recommend choosing a chip card if your bank provides such service. Moreover, we recommend you to have a separate credit card for such payments and keep only the amount allocated for shopping there.

Can I add another recipient address or send the package to another recipient directly (friend, relative, etc.)?

Yes! You can add as many recipient addresses as you like. This can be done via the Recipients sub-menu in your Profile. To do this, you just need to click Add address and fill in all the fields. Delivery from the USA to Uzbekistan will be carried out to the address that you have indicated as the main one when registering the parcel. Please note that if the recipient is another person, the recipient’s information must contain their passport details and phone number, not yours. In addition, if the shipping cost has not been paid in advance, the recipient will have to pay for it at the time of delivery.

Can I order from online stores not listed in the catalog?

You can! You can choose any American or worldwide online stores.

To deliver the goods, it must be possible to pay for them and for the store to deliver them to the address of our warehouse.

A word of advice from our experts: if you are planning to make a purchase in a new store and are not sure if everything will go smoothly, contact us and we will answer all your questions.
