Are there any hidden fees?
Our pricing is very straightforward. We do not have any hidden fees. There is just a one-time fee we charge for accepting payments for postage only.
When we accept payment from you, our merchant account (Paypal or credit card) charges us on each incoming payment (3.99%-4.9%). We also get charged for incoming wire transfers $16 per transfer. Therefore we charge you 4.3% (average) on each postage payment. The fee is charged only on postage. Not on our fees.
For example: If you get a package where the shipping cost totals $200 and you pay for the shipping cost by credit card or Paypal, the card company /Paypal charges us approximately $8 in fees for accepting the payment from you. We charge only $8.50 for forwarding the package. We would not make any money on package forwarding. Therefore 4.3% is added to postage cost.
Insurance cost
If the cost of insurance is over $500 and we have to personally go to the post office we charge an additional $10 fee. Otherwise we charge exactly what post office is charging for insuring your package.
Huge and oversize package (shipped by container or pallets) are quoted separately (storage and shipping cost)
