Question 1

How do I use my U.S. address?

Accepted Answer

When making a purchase at a U.S. merchant website and prompted to fill in your Shipping Address, please ensure you enter your U.S. address correctly.

Your U.S. address is displayed in the top right corner of the website when you sign into your account.

Please be sure to include your Suite ID in your U.S. address. Your Suite ID is unique to your account and enables us to identify that your packages belong to your account when they arrive at our warehouse. Your Suite ID is included in your US address displayed under tab 1, prefixed by ‘c/o’.

Under the name field when filling in your shipping address, please also be sure to fill in the same name that you use for your comGateway account. We use both your Suite ID and your name to match your packages to your account.

Due to our large volume of packages and to enhance sorting and delivery performance, the United States Postal Service has provided us with our own ZIP code (97253). However, some online stores may not recognize this yet, so we encourage you to use the old ZIP code (97220); you may use 97253 but only if a store prevents you from using the other. Both zip codes are valid.

Additionally, some online stores require a ZIP+4 code. The first five digits indicate the destination post office or delivery area. Whereas, the last 4 digits represents a specific delivery route within that overall delivery area. If asked by the online store, please use the ZIP+4 code below:

97253-1777 (primary)

97220-1696

Can I return a package currently at my U.S. address?

Accepted Answer

We help coordinate and ship the package back to the merchant.

What should I do to prepare to ship my packages out?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

What is the repack service?

Accepted Answer

Repack is a service to reduce your shipping charge when

we are able to reduce the volumetric weight of a package

when the volumetric weight of a package is at least 2kg more than the actual weight

and by repacking, your original package contents are not compromised

How does repack work?

Sometimes, a merchant might ship your package to your U.S. Address in too large a box.

When you request for a repack, our processing team will assess your package for repack suitability when it arrives at your U.S. Address. If your package can be repacked, you will receive an email with a repack option.

How do you reduce a package’s volumetric weight?

Our team will cut-down the original package to reduce either its length, width or height, whichever gives you the maximum savings.

Our team will remove the boxes for apparels and bag them.

Please note that we do not remove your items original product packaging when we repack.

What are the fees for the repack service?

Box cut downs: US$7 charge per package

Splitting services fees cost the same as repack.

Repacking service adds an extra 1 to 2 business days to the delivery date of your shipment.

For packages exceeding 30kg after repacking, additional fees may apply.
