Why warehouse location matters when shopping in the USA
Your Stackry mailing address will be located in the state of New Hampshire which has no U.S. sales tax. This means you will an additional 5 to 8% over parcel forwarders located in Florida, California or Ohio.
Why no membership fees or monthly fees is important
We believe you shouldn’t have to use a spreadsheet to figure out how much something is really going to cost to ship from the USA to Australia which is Stackry only charges fees that save you money. Many of competitors will present a low shipping price only to add in package receiving fees, monthly membership fees, registration fees, storage fees. All those fees can lead to nasty surprise on how much shipping will really cost. Some parcel forwarders will only let their premium members consolidate packages or store items for more than a few days.
At stackry we are constantly trying to work to make the overall cost of shipping lower for our Australian customers. We keep our shipping costs low and let all our customers take advantage of our consolidation and repackaging features.
