Surcharges Table Note: Variations in cost depends on the delivering courier and shipment's final destination.

Q: How can I check the status of my BuyForMe orders?

You are able to view a list of your BuyForMe Orders when you click on BFM Orders in your sidebar of your account. Tapping on the order number will allow you to see the details of your order you placed with us.

Q: Why have I received more than one package at my U.S. address for a single merchant order?

If you buy more than one item within a single order, U.S. merchants sometimes send the items in more than one package. This usually happens because: Items are shipped from different warehouses Some items were out of stock and shipped later once available Each package will still be routed to your U.S. address and reflected individually in your comGateway account.

Q: What should I do when I receive my package from the delivery agent?

When your package arrives: Check the condition before signing If applicable, pay any Duties & Taxes due to the delivery agent.
