The case

A customer wanted a magazine from Germany delivered in the United States. Packagepro bought the magazine in Germany and shipped it to the United States.

A magazine is flat and light, but it can be damaged in transit by creasing or moisture. Sturdy packaging matters for a well-preserved copy.

The challenge

Not every shop or seller delivers to the buyer's country. Sometimes there is no shipping option, sometimes the address or payment method is not accepted. The item is for sale, but cannot be received. For a small or one-off item it quickly seems not worth looking for a solution.

How we handle an assignment like this

  1. Request: you send us the link or details of the item and tell us where it has to go.
  2. Quote: you receive a custom quote for purchase and shipping.
  3. Purchase: we buy the item in the seller's country and have it delivered to our address.
  4. Check and packaging: we check the shipment and, if needed, repack the item to suit the journey.
  5. Shipping: we send the parcel to its destination.

Who is this for?

Useful for individuals looking for a specific item in another country, even if it is one small item, and for collectors who want something that is only for sale elsewhere.

Good to know: United States is outside the EU. Shipments to or from this country are subject to the customs and VAT rules of the country concerned. Ask us about the options for your shipment beforehand.
