Do I need to pay for registering with your company?
There is no fee to register with our company. Once you register, you will receive a Suite number and an address which you will use as your address in USA. Before we can accept any packages for you, we will need a copy of your picture ID which can be a driver's licence or a passport. You can fax it to: 267-295-8699 or e-mail to: info@ipsparcel.com
Do I need to pay a monthly fee to use your services?
We do not charge a monthly fee for using our services. The only fee you will be paying is the shipping cost of your packages and storage fee if your packages stay in our facility more than two weeks. The storage fee is 35cents per pound per week.
The maximum package size we can ship is 140" length plus girth. The max length is 110"
Can you repack my packages?
When you ship multiple packages, your shipping rate is calculated based on the total weight and volume of your packages. The number of your packages does not increase or decrease your shipping rate. When you make your purchases in USA, we would recommend you to ask your supplier to pack your packages as small as possible because sometimes we receive merchandise packed in a much larger box than it is necessary. If you need us to repack your packages, we can do so for a fee of $30.00 per package.
How long can you keep my packages and is there a storage fee?
We can keep your packages up to two weeks without a fee. After two weeks, there will be a storage fee of 0.35 cents per pound per week. Any package left more then 3 months will be considered abandoned and will be destroyed.
Can I use another company to ship my packages once they arrrive to your facility?
Once your packages arrive to our facility, you will need to ship them with one of our discounted shipping services like Fedex, DHL or GLS. To avoid any surprises, we would encourage you to get a shipping rate for your packages by following this link Rate Quote, prior to sending your packages to our facility. Please be informed that we do not ship packages by US Mail.
How do I know if you have received any packages for me?
Once we receive a package for you, it is entered into our system and you will receive an e-mail with your package details including dimensions, weight and who it was shipped from.
Which address will I use to send my packages in USA?
Once you register with us, you will receive by e-mail your new address that you will use to send your packages to. Below is a sample address for a customer named John Doe:
John Doe

You will pay for the duties and taxes. These fees will be collected from you when your packages are delivered to you. If the value of the package is high and requires a substantial amount of duties and taxes, our partners may contact you to secure the payment. Please make sure that, when sending a package, you are aware of the duties and taxes and are willing to pay it. If these fees are not paid, we will be billed for it in which case we will charge them to your credit card plus a 20% service fee.
We take the utmost care of your packages during shipping, but it is possible that they might be damaged during shipping. It is very important to use sturdy packing materials like double walled cardboard boxes and protective fillers to insure the safety of the package contents. Each shipment carries a $300.00 insurance free of charge and if you need more insurance, you can purchase it online (Max $10,000.00). If your package gets damaged during shipping, you can file a claim by calling our customer service at 1-800-969-4575. Your insurance amount can not be more than the value declared on your Commercial Invoice.
Are there any restricted items that I can not ship?
