US Parcel Forwarding Service
Get a Jetkrate US forwarding address, shop from eligible US online stores, and manage onward international shipping once your parcel arrives at the US warehouse.
Use your US address at checkout, receive eligible parcels in your Jetkrate account, and choose whether to ship, consolidate, or request repacking where suitable.
How US parcel forwarding works
Good forwarding is not "buy first and hope later". It works best when you understand the address, check restrictions, estimate the likely cost, then shop with confidence.

Forward with a process you can see
From address selection to parcel review and outbound shipping choice, the page is built to make the US forwarding journey clearer before you commit to an overseas purchase.
Use a US forwarding address with local stores, brands and sellers
The United States has one of the world's largest online retail markets. Some products, sizes, releases, discounts, or retailer ranges are easier to access from US websites than from overseas versions of the same store.
A US forwarding address can help when a domestic US range is wider, a sale or marketplace seller only ships inside the US, or you want to manage several eligible US orders before deciding how to ship them internationally.
Common good-fit purchases from US stores
US parcel forwarding is usually most useful for eligible products that are difficult to source locally, have enough value to justify international shipping, or are worth importing because of availability, brand, size, colour, or gift value.

What affects forwarding cost from the US
The final cost is not just the retailer price. A realistic landed-cost view includes US domestic delivery, parcel size, Jetkrate costs where applicable, outbound carrier choice, and destination charges that may apply.
Landed-cost factors
- product price and US domestic delivery
- actual weight, dimensions, and volumetric weight
- selected outbound service and destination
- duties, taxes, brokerage, clearance, or local fees where applicable
Consolidation
If you buy from multiple US stores, consolidation may help by combining eligible parcels into one outbound shipment and reducing repeated base freight charges.
It does not make restricted products shippable or bypass customs, export, import, or carrier rules.
Repacking
Repacking may help when a retailer uses an oversized carton or excessive filler. It is not always right for fragile, boxed, collectible, or presentation-sensitive goods.
Choose outbound shipping after the parcel is ready
Available outbound options may include DHL Express, FedEx, UPS, or other services depending on destination, parcel type, size, value, and service availability.

How is forwarding cost calculated?
Cost can depend on weight, dimensions, volumetric weight, destination, carrier or service selected, optional handling requests, and any destination charges that may apply.
Are duties and taxes included in forwarding fees?
Not necessarily. Duties, taxes, clearance, or local charges may apply depending on the destination country, declared value, product category, and import rules.

Prohibited and restricted items vary by carrier and destination. Common risk categories include dangerous goods, aerosols, fragrances, batteries, supplements, food, medicines, weapons, and oversized or fragile goods.
