Items in Your Haul
Remove ShoeboxesEach shoebox adds 200–400g. Removing 3 boxes saves $3–6 and reduces customs profile.
Consolidate EverythingShip all in one parcel. Agents offer 60–90 days free storage. One 3kg box costs far less than three 1kg boxes.
EU Customs ThresholdEU de minimis is €150, UK is £135. Declare low and split large hauls into two parcels.
Economy vs DHLEconomy is 3–4x cheaper than DHL. DHL is faster but draws more customs scrutiny for rep parcels.
Add AccessoriesA Chrome Hearts ring or LV belt weighs under 150g — almost zero extra shipping cost added to a shoe haul.
