U.S. domestic shipments from retailers arriving at Stackry are often packed in oversized boxes with empty space. The cost of shipping an oversized box internationally can increase signficantly due to the limited amount of space available via air freight. Stackry’s re-packing service is designed to help solve this problem and save on international shipping.
Stackry’s expert operations team will inspect your original retailer package and re-pack to a smaller, more cost effective package or add protection. The cost for this service is $5 per re-pack. If re-packing does not produce savings on shipping cost or add protection, Stackry will refund the $5 cost.
The concept is simple, the savings are BIG! Shop at any U.S. retailer and ship one or multiple packages to your Stackry U.S. address. Stackry will hold each package in your locker for up to 45 days for FREE. When you’re done shopping and ready to ship, login to your Stackry account, choose your items and Stackry’s expert team will consolidate them into one more cost effective shipment. Stackry charges $2 per package consolidated, with a $25 cap per consolidation.

“Hazmat,” short for hazardous materials, refers to substances or items that pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment. At Stackry, we prioritize safety, and our team is fully trained in identifying hazmat when it arrives at our operations center. Depending on country and/or carrier hazmat restrictions, items including but not limited to lithium batteries, perfumes, aerosols, and some cosmetics may be considered hazmat. Hazmat shipments require special handling and an additional processing cost of $12.50 per package.
Before shipping any items you believe may contain hazmat, please check Stackry’s hazmat guidelines or contact Stackry support.
If the Stackry operations team determines that an item is classified as “Hazmat,” in many cases the items can be shipped, but typically with restrictions. Hazmat type and country of destination play a role in these restrictions. Hazmat also requires special handling and an additional processing cost of $12.50 per package. See Stackry’s Hazmat page or contact support for more information.
If the Stackry operations team determines that an item is classified as “Prohibited,” Stackry will not ship the item forward under any circumstance.

Amazon has added an extra layer of security confirming delivery of certain high value items. If your item falls into this category, Amazon will send the customer a six digit One Time Password (OTP).

If retailer tracking shows delivery, it may still be a few hours withing the same business day before a package is checked in. If the business day has ended and a tracked package is not in your locker, contact Stackry support.

When shipping internationally, carriers calculate the cost based on both the weight and size of the package. Carriers charge for whichever is higher between the scale weight and the space the package takes up on an airplane. If your package is large but not very heavy, you may be charged based on its size (dimensional weight).
Dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying the length by width by height of each package in inches or centimeters and dividing by a dimensional weight factor. The dimensional weight factor varies by service offering and unit of measure (in or cm).
Stackry’s partner carriers DHL, FedEx and DHL Global Mail all use a dimensional weight factor of 166. The United States Postal Service (USPS) and FedEx Connect do not use dimensional weight to calculate the final price of shipping.
When dimensional weight exceeds scale weight, shipments are charged according to the dimensional weight.
See Stackry’s dimensional weight page for more details.
Stackry customers can ship with DHL, FedEx, Aramex and the U.S. Postal Service. See Stackry’s international shipping options page for more detail on service levels.
Stackry’s carriers offers options for air service worldwide and ground service to Canada. We do not offer options for sea or ocean freight service.
