The insurance policy does not cover the following items:
Package consolidation allows you to shop with several retailers or make several purchases with a single retailer at different times, and then put all of your items (once they are received at our logistics center) into a single package. This service also applies to a single order split by the retailer.
What do you get? One package optimally packed and shipped at a competitive rate, rather than several packages shipped separately and paying multiple shipping fees.
To consolidate packages, you should go to the your account and select "Consolidate" at the top of the page or in the area where package details appear, and then select the packages you wish to consolidate from among the available packages.
You should only confirm consolidation after having reviewed all data displayed.
Once package consolidation is complete, our partner logistics center is issued with a consolidation task. All packages for consolidation are opened, examined, and re-packed (in their original packages) into a single new package, to be delivered at your doorstep.
Package consolidation is only available for packages open for payment (Each package will be available for consolidation only after you add its content and value).
Package consolidation can be requested up to 7 days counting from the receipt of the first package at our logistics center, without charging you storage fees.
Package consolidation removes any storage fees. If package consolidation was not performed within 7 days of receipt of the first package, your account will be charged for storage fees, starting on the 8th day.
Once a package consolidation request is issued, the consolidated package cannot be consolidated with other packages.
Attention! When consolidating packages you must take into account the final destination taxes. Consolidating packages that are individually exempt from tax could raise the total sum of the invoice to a taxable level. In this case, customers will be charged these taxes.
You are responsible for checking this issue prior to issuing a package consolidation request.
Splitting a consolidated package will be charged $5 per package. To request consolidation splitting, please contact us
