Question 1

What’s the difference between Standard and Express shipping?

Accepted Answer

Both shipping options are fast and reliable—carried by our logistics partners, DHL and FedEx—but they differ in speed and cost:

💡 Express is faster, Standard is more budget-friendly.

Need help deciding? Consider:

Where you’re shipping to

Whether you’re repacking

If you’re combining multiple packages and time isn’t critical, then Standard is often better for bulk or heavier shipments.

Question 2

Can I return a package that I have already received? And do an international return?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can return eligible items, whether you:

Purchased directly from a U.S. merchant, or

Ordered through our BuyForMe service

You can return items from your U.S. Address or from your home country, depending on the situation.

If your package is still at your U.S. Address, we can help you return it directly to the merchant from there—no need to ship it home to yourself first. Learn more here:

❌ Some items (like liquids, perishables, or restricted goods) may not be eligible for international returns. We’ll confirm this during the return request process.

If You Bought Directly from the Merchant

1.Check the merchant’s return policy

Before starting a return, check:

Is the item returnable?

How refunds are issued—store credit or original payment?

Is there a returns window (typically 15–60 days)?

Note: International shipping back to the merchant can take 7–10 business days.

2.Get the necessary documents from the merchant

A commercial invoice

A return label

An RMA number (return authorization), if required

⚠️ For some returns, the merchant won’t offer a prepaid label. That means you will be responsible for any domestic U.S. shipping costs in addition to the international return fee.

3.Email us

Let us know which item(s) you want to return. We’ll:

Review the merchant’s return policy

Send you a quote for international return shipping

Include a returns admin fee in the quote

4.Choose your return method: 2 options

Option A: Use comGateway’s courier:

Question 3

What is the consolidation service?

Accepted Answer

Consolidation, repack and storage are services we offer at your U.S. Address. Use these services (if applicable) to save on international shipping. Manage these services (if applicable) in My Packages

Have two or more packages you want to ship internationally?

Consolidation lets you ship multiple packages from your U.S. address together as one international shipment. This helps you save on shipping costs by avoiding duplicate base charges.

📦 Instead of shipping each box separately (and paying multiple base rates), we combine your packages into one shipment.

Select to ship them all at the same time to save on shipping costs (this will count as one shipment). Shipping them separately will cost much more than combining them together into one shipment.

Why does consolidation save money?

The base charge (for the first 0.5kg) is always higher than the per-0.5kg rate that follows.

So if you ship three packages separately, you pay the base charge three times.

But if you consolidate them into one shipment, you only pay the base charge once.

Consolidation details:

Consolidate up to 3 packages per shipment for free

Additional packages cost $1 each

Prime members get unlimited free consolidation

You can consolidate up to 15 packages in a single shipment

When is consolidation not a savings option?

Some countries charge taxes based on the total value of a shipment.
If combining packages pushes your total over a tax-free threshold, it may cost more in duties.

Always check your country’s import tax rules before consolidating.
