  • Use Accurate Measurements: Always weigh your parcel before entering this information
  • Consider Weight Limits: Maximum weight per parcel is 20 kg (44 lbs)

Selecting or Customizing Parcel Dimensions

  1. Choose Standard Sizes:

    • Envelope: For documents and flat items
    • Tablet Box: For small electronics and similar items
    • Shoe Box: For footwear and medium-sized items
    • Backpack: For larger items that fit in a standard backpack
    • Suitcase: For items requiring more space
  2. Enter Custom Dimensions:

    • Measure length, width, and height accurately
    • Use centimeters (cm) or inches (in)
    • Include any packaging in measurements

Entering the Shop and Carry Amount

If your parcel requires the traveler to pay an amount upfront:

  1. Specify the Amount:

    • Enter the exact amount in USD or local currency
    • Include any taxes or additional fees
    • Account for potential price fluctuations
  2. Understanding Fees:

    • 20% service fee added to shop and carry amount

Tips for Accuracy and Avoiding Additional Charges

  • Weigh Carefully: Use a reliable scale and round up to the nearest 0.1 kg/lb
