Shipping & Consolidation

You can estimate your shipping costs before you purchase an item by asking the merchant for the weight and dimensions of the package they will ship to us. You can then enter that information into our shipping rate calculator.

There's more than one way to save on international shipping rates with Marketsz!

Shipping multiple packages overseas direct from online stores can be very costly. With Marketsz consolidation (package bundling), our expert packers combine your purchases into a single package, saving you up to 80% on international shipping rates.

Premium and Business members receive FREE package consolidation. As per-pound shipping rates decrease as the box weight increases, it is almost always to your benefit to ship one large box instead of several small boxes.

Many stores pack your items in boxes that are too large or not properly prepared for global shipping. Marketsz takes extra time to ensure all your merchandise is properly packaged for international shipping. Our repackaging service is FREE with a Premium or Business membership, will save you money in shipping costs, and also helps ensure your purchases are not damaged during transport.

Marketsz partners with DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver your shipments. In some areas, a "Budget Shipper" service is available, which may be provided by other local carriers.

Your carrier options will vary, depending on the country you are shipping to and the weight and size of your shipment.

Items that require special handling, like dangerous goods and televisions, can influence the carrier options available for your shipment.

Marketsz offers the option to send eligible shipments Delivery Duties Paid (DDP). This allows you to pay duties when you submit your ship request, instead of when it arrives at its destination, and Marketsz will pay your local customs for items in the shipment.

Marketsz duties-paid shipping is a guaranteed service. If you select this service and are charged additional carrier fees, Marketsz will refund you those fees.

Shipments to these countries are eligible for DDP:

Please note: Marketsz UK suites have different duty and tax requirements than US suites. Import duty payments may be required for your items to be delivered from the merchant to your UK suite. If any of these duties apply, the amounts will be invoiced through your Marketsz account.

Shipping insurance can be purchased for $2.99 per $100 of insured merchandise value. All shipments are automatically insured for the declared value of the item(s) unless the member opts out of insurance.

Insurance covers loss or damage to the items in your shipment. Claims can be filed for the declared value plus international shipping costs, if applicable. Insurance does NOT cover import duties and taxes, domestic shipping costs or damage to the manufacturer’s box/packaging.

Couriers may carry limited liability or no liability for antique or vintage items, jewelry, TVs, electronics, manufacturer’s box/packaging and prohibited goods. Please check with the courier for a complete list of prohibited items.

Yes. Most Marketsz carrier partners provide door-to-door tracking information that can be accessed from your Marketsz account.

All international carriers base their shipping rates on the greater of actual weight and dimensional weight (also known as volumetric weight).

Actual weight is the weight of the package when put on a scale. Dimensional weight is based on the size and weight of the package. Large items that have a low actual weight, like pillows and lampshades, will result in a higher dimensional weight.

Dimensional weight is calculated by multiplying the dimensions of an item and dividing by the industry-standard "DIM Factor" of 139:

Dimensional Weight (chargeable pounds) = Length x Width x Height (inches) / 139

Fortunately, Marketsz members do not have to worry about complex dimensional weight calculations. Marketsz TruePrice™ gives you guaranteed upfront pricing based only on the package weight (excludes oversized and pallet shipments).

Oversized packages, crates and pallets: Oversized packages are packages or pallets with linear dimensions (total Length + Width + Height) greater than 72 inches (183 cm). Items requiring some types of special packaging (e.g. crates), are not eligible for Marketsz TruePrice pricing.
