How we send it abroad
We compare service levels from the carriers we work with and show you the options: faster, cheaper, or somewhere in between. You choose.
We hand your package to the carrier and send you the tracking number, so you can follow it on its way.
Here is a simple example. A package is going to family overseas. We show you the economy, standard and express options, each with its own cost. You pick one, and we take it from there.
Do I choose the service?
Yes. We show you the options and the cost of each, and you decide. Nothing ships until you confirm.
What every shipment includes
Whatever you send, you get the same clear basics with every international package.
Tracked delivery
Every package gets a tracking number, so you can follow it from our warehouse to the door.

How international shipping works
From your first message to delivery abroad, it takes four steps.
Tell us what you're sending
Give us the size, weight and destination country, or tell us which package we’re already holding for you. We reply with your service options and a clear quote.
Choose your service
Pick economy, standard or express from the options we show you. You see the total cost before you pay.
We prepare and hand over
We pack and label your package, then hand it to the carrier. We send you the tracking number.
Track it to your door
Follow your package on its way. Customs may check it, and we help with the paperwork if they ask.
Customs, duties and taxes
Most international packages pass through customs. The destination country may charge import duties or taxes based on the value and type of items.
These charges are set by the authorities, not by ShipHarbor, and the rules can change. We tell you what to expect for your country and help you complete the paperwork.
- Describe items accurately and state their true value
- Keep your purchase receipts, as customs may ask for them
- Ask us about your country before you order
Choose the speed that suits you
Every level includes tracking. We show you the options and costs for your package and destination.
Economy
Best for non-urgent packages. Usually the lower-cost option, and it is tracked.
Standard
Best for most orders. A balance of speed and cost, with tracking included.
Express
Best for when time matters. The faster option, with tracking included.
Delivery times are estimates
Customs checks and carrier conditions can add time, so allow a little extra if a date matters. Ask us for the typical delivery time to your country.
Good to know before you ship
Check that your package is a good fit for international shipping.
