Shipping is the biggest variable in your total cost. This guide compares shipping lines, explains customs risk, and helps you pick the right option.
Available Shipping Methods
Most buyers use one of three main shipping options. Standard Line is the cheapest option, taking 15-25 days for delivery. It is ideal for low-value items and buyers who are not in a rush. Express Line is the mid-range option, delivering in 10-18 days with full tracking and insurance included. It is the best balance of cost and speed for most orders. Priority Line is the fastest option, delivering in 7-14 days. It is recommended for high-value orders or urgent purchases. Each line has different weight limits, insurance policies, and regional availability. Always check the shipping estimator before checkout to see which lines are available for your specific order.
Cost Calculation
Shipping is calculated by weight. Most streetwear items weigh 0.3-0.8 kg. Shoes are heavier, usually 1.0-1.5 kg per pair. Jackets and puffers can weigh 1.0-1.5 kg. Accessories like caps and wallets are light, often under 0.3 kg. The shipping cost is the weight multiplied by the rate for your chosen line. Use the shipping estimator on the main catalog to get an exact quote before you check out. This prevents surprises. Some agents also offer rehearsal shipping, where they pack your items and weigh them before you pay for shipping. This gives you the most accurate cost.
Customs and Tax
United States buyers typically face no import tax on orders under $800. This is the de minimis threshold. Orders above $800 may be subject to customs inspection and potential duties. However, most streetwear and replica fashion items fall well below this threshold. Customs can randomly inspect packages regardless of value. To reduce risk, avoid shipping obvious brand logos on the outer box if possible. Some agents offer package removal services where they remove branded packaging before shipping. This is worth considering for high-value or high-brand-visibility items.
Packaging and Protection
Most items are shipped in a plain poly mailer or box. Shoe boxes may be removed to reduce weight and shipping cost. If you need the original box, specify it in your order notes. Some agents offer additional packaging protection like bubble wrap or reinforced boxes. This is useful for fragile items but adds weight and cost. For most clothing and shoes, standard packaging is sufficient. The packaging is usually plain and unbranded, which helps with customs.
Tracking Your Package
Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number. You can track it on the agent's website or through third-party trackers like 17track.net. Tracking updates typically appear within 24-48 hours of shipping. The tracking shows departure from the warehouse, transit through the origin country, arrival in the destination country, customs clearance, and final delivery. If tracking stops updating for more than 5 days, contact the agent. Delays are normal during holiday seasons and peak shipping periods.
Tips to Save on Shipping
Combine multiple items into one package to save on shipping. Removing shoe boxes reduces weight. Using rehearsal shipping gives you an exact weight before paying. Choosing the slowest line saves money if you are not in a rush. Some agents offer shipping discounts for orders over a certain weight. Check the promotions page for current shipping deals. The biggest savings come from consolidation. Shipping three items separately costs significantly more than shipping them together.
