Bundle Box is the smarter way to buy items from the USA. Many US websites do not ship abroad, international shipping costs can be prohibitive, custom charges are often a question mark and many things can go wrong along the way. Bundle Box resolves these problems and provides its customers with a seamless experience when buying items from the US and shipping them home.
With your Bundle Box:
You’ll have your own USA address: This allows you to buy from any website in the USA. Over 50% of the top 250 websites in the USA don’t ship abroad. For example, Target, Bestbuy, Macy, JCPenney, GAP and JCrew, none of them ship outside of the USA, just to name a few. With your Bundle Box you can now buy from these sites, using your own USA address.
You’ll get great shipping rates & service: Shipping from the USA to the UK can be very expensive, especially for heavier items. With your Bundle Box you can consolidate as many purchases into one shipment to the UK, taking more advantage of the great rates that we provide. For example for a shipment of 100kg, we will charge you 60% less than the market rate.
Import duty and VAT is taken care of: When you book your shipment to the UK, the required import duty and VAT is included. So no additional charges, no surprise calls from a courier, but you will get a
speedy customs clearance.
You'll have peace of mind: While your purchases are in your Bundle Box, they are fully covered against damage or loss. While shipping your purchases to your home, you can fully insure them against damage or loss. We offer a return insurance in case your item is not as expected or the wrong size and you need to send it back. Also for selected products, we offer an international warranty against malfunction of your purchase.
You can be carbon neutral: Bundle Box enables you to carbon offset your shipments.
