How to Save on International Shipping Costs with a Courier Service

In the U.S.A., you can find many products at advantageous prices. However, once these products are shipped to your home country, they become expensive to acquire due to additional costs such as taxes charged by the seller, shipping fees, and delivery time.

 

If you purchase from Amazon or any U.S. store that delivers to your country, you will find that if you don't choose carefully, the shipping costs included in the total order amount can be relatively high. Although Amazon offers competitive prices on many products, the truth is that shipping costs, in more than 90% of cases, can be quite expensive.

 

The reason is that Amazon ships through UPS or DHL, companies that charge rates above the normal market price. Therefore, if you want to save on shipping costs, a good option is to use a courier service.

Save on Shipping Costs:

When making purchases through a courier service, instead of using a delivery address in your country of residence, you use a delivery address in the United States, specifically the address of a courier.

 

The courier is a company that will bring all your purchases from the U.S. to your country of residence, and you will pay two fees for this service: the shipping fee and customs expenses (cargo nationalization, import taxes).

 

The shipping fee is the amount charged by the courier for transporting your order from their location or warehouse in the U.S. to your country. Additionally, Ancon Mall does not charge internal shipping fees in the United States for orders over $50. This can represent a savings of up to $6.00 per order.

 

Save Time:

Companies that offer shipping services can guarantee a predetermined delivery time. These logistics companies know how to deliver on time. However, guaranteed delivery speeds may be subject to certain conditions and limitations. Factors such as the origin and destination locations, the time of day the package is dropped off, and any potential delays or disruptions (e.g., weather conditions, holidays) can affect the actual delivery time. However, customers are generally aware of these potential inconveniences in advance.

 

Save on Taxes:

Free Trade Zones in Florida are designated areas that offer tax and customs benefits to companies operating within them. These zones are designed to encourage international trade and attract foreign investments to the state of Florida.

 

Tax Exemption: Companies operating in a Free Trade Zone in Florida can benefit from tax exemptions, which means they don't have to pay state or local taxes on imported or exported goods. That's why our customers do not incur tax charges on their purchases.

 

Subscription:

In most cases, courier companies do not charge a registration fee. Registration with these companies is usually free and only requires providing basic information such as name, address, and contact details. It is important to review the terms and conditions of each company to understand any possible additional charges before registering.
