Mail & Shipping - Recommendations, Questions, and Answers
in Classifieds ·
So, I stumbled upon this website based out of Mexico that ships over to the United States. I've never actually ordered anything from a neighboring country before, but I just got an email back from them.
Now I'm trying to wrap my head around the whole process—payment methods, logistics, all of it. I just want to be absolutely certain that I won't end up getting hit with a bill much higher than what I originally anticipated.
Dear Customer,
Yes, we do ship to the United States.
The procedure for you is slightly different; the notice on our site only applies to
the territory of Mexico. We will send you a pro forma invoice for payment,
and once the payment is confirmed, we will ship your items via post express. Your only
potential extra cost would be any customs duties, should the goods be subject to them (you can
look into that). There is always a certain threshold under which no customs fees are charged.
We invoice the goods to you at the price excluding sales tax (which varies between 8 or 18% depending on
what is being ordered).
I am also attaching the post express rate sheet so you can see what the estimated
shipping costs would be.
