How to Forward a Package Internationally
International package forwarding lets you buy from a store in another country and have the parcel sent on to you overseas. It is especially useful when the retailer does not ship to your country or only offers expensive international delivery.
Jetkrate gives you local addresses in New Zealand, the UK, Australia and the United States so you can shop more stores and forward eligible parcels worldwide.
How package forwarding works
The process is simple:
1. Create a Jetkrate account.
2. Choose the country you want to shop from.
3. Use your Jetkrate address at checkout.
4. The retailer sends the parcel to Jetkrate.
5. Jetkrate receives and processes the parcel.
6. You choose a forwarding option.
7. The parcel is shipped to your final address.
You can also manage multiple parcels, request consolidation where available and choose add-on services when suitable.
Why use a forwarding service?
Package forwarding can help when:
- A retailer only delivers domestically
- A product range is only available in one country
- International shipping from the retailer is expensive
- You want to buy from several stores and consolidate parcels
- You need a reliable warehouse address instead of using friends or family
What information do you need?
For each parcel, you will usually need a clear description of the goods, the item value, the retailer invoice and the final delivery address. Customs uses this information to assess the parcel at destination.
Do not use vague descriptions or under-declared values.
What cannot be forwarded?
Some goods cannot travel through standard international parcel networks. This can include dangerous goods, aerosols, perfume, flammable liquids, weapons, counterfeit goods, perishable food, plants, tobacco, alcohol and some battery products.
Check restrictions before you buy, not after the parcel arrives at the warehouse.
