does stackry charge 2$ to consolidate packages per package sent out or received? Are there any other fees? I can't find them on the website...
Hi,
I am from Serbia, Belgrade and when I shop in USA, I use Stackry service for the delivery, available on this address: www.stackry.com.
I am using it for quite some time now, since March I think and I am satisfied with their service. You can easily check for rates using Rate calculator on Stackry.com and see if it is cheaper than sending your goods to your aunt’s house.
What I like about Stackry is that there is no up-front fee, meaning that registration is free and they can consolidate my packages and store them free of charge for 45 days. In addition to that I can request photos of the package as soon as it arrives to their warehouse and I get a tracking number, so that I can see where my package is at the moment.
Recently, they added a new shipping address in New Hampshire which is sales tax free.
Import tax depends on your countries regulation that is why I can’t give you the answer to this question.
I hope you find this helpful.
Going through a package forwarding service for this type of shipping is a good idea. By using a company, you will have a secure US address to shop with online, consolidation services which saves you money on duties and taxes, as well as 1-5 day transit times worldwide.
You can get more info about the process, address, etc. here:

Hope this helps!
You are correct that bundling your items is the most cost effective way to ship internationally.
I recommend you take a look at Stackry for international parcel forwarding for a number of reasons.
They don't require a monthly or annual premium membership fee to take advantage of storage or package consolidation functionality. You can store your items up to 45 days without any storage fees. Their consolidation fees are only 2 dollars a packages. Stackry's warehouse is in New Hampshire so you won't have to pay any U.S. sales taxes on your purchases.
Stackry has an an experienced operations team with A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and very helpful customer service team.

Personally, i recommend you USGoBuy.com
1. USGoBuy is located in Poland Oregon, USA, which is duty-fee city, so you will get free US warehouse there, besides, there is no HIDDEN FEE, only international rates with some discount, so it must be much cheaper than ship items to your aunt house.
2. USGoBuy forwarding experts will receive your items for you, no need to collect at first, they will do everything just as your aunt do. They will email you which parcel is arrived, and forward them together according to your request, which will save lots of international fee. (All of these they do are totally FREE)
3. Doing a search for ship from US to abroad will give many results, please compare their fees, you will know which one to choose.(MyUs, Shipito and many other shipping forwarder will charge set up fee, warehouse fee and service fee, ect. USGoBuy only charge international shipping rates)
4. For import duties, it depends on your country rules, for details about that, please contact USGoBuy professional service stuff, who will give you exact answer.
I've tried a bunch of packing forwarding services and ended up landing on www.parcelbound.com; I would look into them...
Yes, they offer consolidation services just like other package forwarders but I just like their shipping rates better, and the look/feel of the site...good luck with your search!
Hope this helps for a best answer! :)
Hi, Maria, I am Veljko and I am also from Serbia, and I was just wondering if any of these sites removes labels/tags/bills.., because it's much better to send unmarked goods in order to avoid customs fees? My 'aunt' does it all. :)
I tried a few and myUS is definitely best. There a reason they have A+ rating.
I've got some questions about it:
1. Usually when I shop things from USA that cant be shipped worldwide, I send the items to my aunt's address in california. I wait until I shop quite a lot, then I ask my aunt to pack it altogether and ship it to my country. My question is...if I use for example myus.com forwarding service,will it be cheaper (maybe they have special tax or whatever), or will it still be the same as if I ship it from my aunt house?
2. do these international package forwarding service have a system where I can collect/pile up my shopping things first and then ship them? Because i think its cheaper to send together instead of sending them one by one.
3. There are a lot of services out there, any recommendation which you feel the best?
4. When should I pay the import tax(from my country)? I assume I pay the shipping cost first then when it arrives I pay the additional taxes, is it?
