Shop from the USA to Nepal: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

You can shop from the USA to Nepal with Amaboxly in three ways: order an item already listed in our shop, ask us to buy from a US store for you, or buy it yourself and forward the parcel. This guide covers the delivered price, timing, deposits, customs and returns for shoppers in Nepal.

What a delivered price to Nepal includes

The item price is only one part of the cost, and the pieces change with the route you choose.

Shop prices can be shown in NPR as an estimate. We charge in ringgit at checkout and your bank converts, so the final amount can differ slightly. Card payments work from Nepal.

For forwarding, Nepal is one of 17 destinations on a benchmark-based rate: a published competitor benchmark minus US$0.10 per billable kg. Ask us for the Nepal quote before you buy. The calculator on our shipping fees page estimates Malaysia forwarding, so do not assume its rates or timing for Nepal.

Billed weight is the higher of actual and dimensional weight, with a minimum of 1 kg per box. Take a 2 kg pair of boots in a 16 x 12 x 6 inch box: 1,152 cubic inches / 166 = about 6.94 lb, and 6.94 x 0.4536 = about 3.15 kg. That box is billed on about 3.15 kg.

Three ways to shop from the USA to Nepal

Order from the Amaboxly shop

If the item is listed in our shop, use the product page and shop checkout. Every product page shows its category: Ready Stock Malaysia, Ready Stock USA or Pre-Order.

Buy for me

Use Buy for me when you want us to place the order with a US store. In My Account, Forwarding, choose "Buy for me" and send the exact product URL, product name, size, colour, quantity, store price and a cart or product-page screenshot. We review availability and eligibility, then place and pay for the order after you pay the payment request. Retailer acceptance and stock are never guaranteed.

This route helps when a US store rejects a card or billing address from Nepal. Send the link and the error message so we can check.

I bought something

If the US store accepts your payment, buy it yourself and send it to the receiving address and suite we confirm. In My Account, Forwarding, choose "I bought something" and get the complete address before checkout. Keep your receipt and retailer tracking number, declare the parcel with accurate contents and paid value, then review the quote before authorizing shipment. Our worldwide parcel forwarding page has the full steps.

What to check before you buy

Get a Nepal quote first. Routes outside Malaysia need a destination-specific quote before buying or shipping, and a listed country does not mean every item, carrier route or postcode is accepted.

Some items need extra review before purchase: batteries (installed or spare), power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics, and bulky household items. A Bluetooth speaker, a perfume or a ceramic dinner set all sit in that group, so ask before you pay the retailer.

We do not sell freight insurance, and forwarding terms give no loss or damage cover. Glass, ceramics and liquids travel at your risk, though you can arrange cover elsewhere. Prohibited items can be held and disposed of.

Timing, the 50% deposit and your balance

Pre-Order items are bought from the US store after you order, usually within 1 to 3 business days, with estimated delivery about 30 days from the order date. Ready Stock USA items are already at our US location and also take about 30 days. Ready Stock Malaysia items are packed in 1 to 3 business days. Parcels to Nepal travel by FedEx and are usually in transit 1 to 5 working days after dispatch.

Peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days, so treat the checkout date as an estimate. For forwarded parcels, confirm departure, arrival and local delivery timing with us.

The 50% deposit is offered on Pre-Order items only. On the product page choose the colour, choose "Pay 50% deposit" and add to bag. Nepal orders go through our Malaysia hub, so the balance is due when the item arrives in Nepal. The payment link comes by email and WhatsApp, and the item ships once the balance is paid.

We send a WhatsApp update at each status: Bought, In transit, Arrived and Delivered.

Customs and Nepal’s Department of Customs

Nepal’s customs authority is the Department of Customs. Import duties, taxes and clearance charges are set by Nepal, are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in our shop prices or delivery fees. We declare the accurate item value on customs forms.

For forwarded parcels, declare contents and paid value accurately and keep the retailer receipt. Import or clearance charges are confirmed separately in your quote. We do not publish Nepal duty rates or thresholds, so check the Department of Customs’ current guidance for your item before you buy.

Returns and cancellations

Shop orders can be returned within 30 days of delivery, including change of mind. Change-of-mind returns must be in new condition, a 10% restocking fee of the total amount paid for the order applies, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund. Report damage immediately on receipt with photos of the item and packaging, and contact us with your order number before sending anything back. The refund and returns policy has the full terms.

Cancelling a Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item before delivery carries a 10% processing fee, and payment gateway fees are not refunded. A Buy for me request can be cancelled free while it is Submitted or Information needed. Once the item has been bought, the cancellation charge is USD 35 per checkout.
