How to Ship a Package to Your Delivery Address?

by

If you want to send a package you have at your Planet Express address, you have to place the so-called ‘Mailout Request’. Watch the following video or read our instructions below.

How To Place The Mailout Request?

Placing the Mailout Request can be described in 3 steps.

Step #1: Make sure the package does not contain any prohibited items otherwise it will be returned to our warehouse by the carrier, or customs. If the package does contain any prohibited items, you can request a Special Request and we can remove them. Once the package is good to go, fill out the customs declaration form (find the instructions on how to do it on our customs declaration page).

Shipping Packages From the USA FAQ

? Will my package be insured?

For FedEx Priority, FedEx Economy, and DHL Worldwide Express, insurance is included in the shipping costs.
The other methods are not covered by insurance, but you can buy it. We recommend insurance of the package especially if you ship expensive and fragile products.
Read more details about insurance and its conditions.

? Are customs duties included in the shipping price?

No, we ship packages as Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU). This means that if your package is above the de minimis threshold for your country, you have to pay for customs. If necessary, you will be contacted by the carrier or customs office.
