Q: Does consolidation mean that you combine all my items into one package?

Not exactly. Consolidation means we ship all your packages together in one shipment —but each item stays in its original box unless repacking is requested or possible. 📦 Multiple packages shipped together = one shipment = savings. Want them combined into one box? That’s where our OneBox or Repack service comes in.

Q: How do I estimate international shipping weight for delivery time and cost?

We can only calculate your final shipping cost once your packages arrive at your U.S. address and have been weighed. But to get a rough estimate: Refer to our Rates Table below Use the Shipping Calculator on our home page Check your item’s dimensions or ask the merchant if it’s a bulky product 📦 Don’t forget to factor in fuel surcharge , insurance, and other applicable fees. For large or unusual items, we recommend contacting the merchant directly to get estimated package dimensions. See FAQ - What is fuel surcharge? , FAQ - What are insurance fees? , FAQ - Are there other fees? How can I lower my shipping weight? Repackaging : Removes unnecessary boxes and reduces bulk Consolidation : Combines multiple packages into one shipment OneBox : Optimizes your packaging for the lowest possible volumetric weight 💡 Learn more about it here: Ship Smarter: Add-On Services

Q: When do I have to pay additional taxes and duties to the delivery agent?

Depending on your country’s customs regulations, you may be required to pay duties and taxes upon delivery. If so, your local courier (like DHL or FedEx) will collect the payment before or at the time of delivery. 💰 These charges are set by your country’s customs authority—not comGateway—and are separate from your shipping fee. To avoid surprises, check your country’s import rules or contact your local customs office for estimated duties.

Q: What happens when Prime expires?

You’ll be downgraded to Lite. You can always renew your paid Prime membership.

Q: How do I ship my packages home?

Once your orders have arrived at your U.S. address and you’re ready to ship, just log in to your comGateway account: Go to My Packages Select the packages you want to ship Choose your shipping method: Standard or Express Complete your international shipping payment Your items will be shipped via our trusted partners, DHL and FedEx , and delivered right to your doorstep. Delivery Speed Options ⏱️ Delivery times are calculated from the next business day after payment is made 📦 comGateway manages the end-to-end process—our timeline starts when you ship, not when the courier picks it up. Important Notes & Delivery Considerations Some factors may affect delivery time: Repacking : Adds 2 –3 business days to your timeline Public holidays : U.S. and destination holidays may cause delays Remote areas : Add 3–5 extra days for off-route locations Customs restrictions : China : Only eligible for Standard Shipping, delivery may take 8–15 days Russia : Private parcels are restricted; consignee must hold a business license

Shipping weight is based on your actual dimensional weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
