TL;DR: Boonbuy ships worldwide through several lines (express and economy). The price depends on your parcel's weight and size, and new accounts cut it with the 40% off coupon and a pack of ~18 coupons. Items wait in the warehouse for free for 90 days, so you can build a bigger haul.
How shipping is priced
Agents calculate actual weight and volumetric weight (length × width × height in cm divided by the line's divisor, often 5000–6000) and charge whichever is higher. That's why big, light boxes (like sneaker boxes) can push the cost up. You'll see the quote in Boonbuy's shipping estimator before paying.
Types of shipping lines
| Line type | Time (rough) | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Express (international couriers) | about 1–2 weeks | Highest | Urgent, light parcels |
| Economy / postal | about 2–4 weeks | Lower | Bigger hauls, no rush |
| Tax-included lines | about 2–3 weeks | Medium | When you don't want to pay on delivery |
Available lines and prices change over time and depend on your country and parcel contents, so always compare them in the estimator before choosing.
Customs and VAT
- EU: VAT applies to every non-EU parcel since July 2021; customs duty usually kicks in above €150.
- UK: VAT is charged on low-value imports; duty depends on value and item type.
- US: the $800 duty-free de minimis ended in 2025, so most parcels now face duties.
- Some lines include taxes up front; with others the carrier collects them on delivery.
How to pay less for shipping
- Use the 40% off coupon on your first, biggest parcel (valid about 30 days after sign-up). More: Boonbuy shipping coupon.
- Consolidate orders. One bigger parcel costs less per kilo than several small ones.
- Cut volumetric weight. Fewer boxes and less filler means a lower price.
- Use the 90 days of free storage to collect items from different sellers.
- For later parcels, use the fixed-amount coupons from the pack (worth about 12% of the shipping cost).
