Shop from the USA to Hungary: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

You can shop from the USA to Hungary through 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 have us forward the parcel. This guide explains what each route costs, how long to plan for, and what Hungarian customs will expect from you.

Check the item before you choose a route

Start with the product itself. Some categories need extra review before anything is bought: batteries (installed or spare), power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, items with radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics, and bulky household items.

Hungary is covered by our worldwide forwarding service, but a listed country does not mean every item, carrier route or postcode is accepted. Ask for a destination-specific quote before you buy or ship. Send the product link and your Hungarian postcode on WhatsApp at +1 (603) 440-9886, and a real person will answer within Malaysian business hours.

Then look in the Amaboxly shop. If the item is already listed there, that is usually the simplest route.

Three ways to shop from the USA to Hungary

Shop listing

Every product page shows its category: Pre-Order, Ready Stock USA or Ready Stock Malaysia. You use the product page and the shop checkout, and the shop’s own price, delivery and returns policy apply.

Buy for me

Open My Account, Forwarding, and choose "Buy for me". Send the exact US product URL, the real product name, size, colour, quantity, store price, a cart or product-page screenshot and any promotion details. We review availability and eligibility, send a payment request, then place and pay for the retailer order.

Retailer acceptance and stock are never guaranteed, and a promo code is not assumed valid until the retailer confirms it. This route suits shoppers whose Hungarian card or billing address is rejected at a US checkout. Send us the error message along with the link. The cost is a small assisted-purchase fee per checkout, shown on the Buy for me page and in your payment request.

I bought something

Choose "I bought something" in the same Forwarding area and get the complete receiving address and suite details before you check out. Never ship to an incomplete address. Keep your receipt and retailer tracking number, then declare the parcel in your forwarding account with accurate contents and paid value.

You review a quote before authorizing shipment. Warehouse photos, invoices and shipment progress appear in My Orders. The worldwide parcel forwarding page lists the full steps.

What a delivered price to Hungary is made of

For a shop order, the pieces are the item price and a live shipping quote per item, shown at checkout before you pay. Prices can be displayed in HUF as an estimate. We charge in ringgit and your bank converts, so the final forint amount can differ slightly. Card payments work from anywhere we deliver.

For forwarding and Buy for me, freight is charged on billed weight, which is the higher of actual weight and dimensional weight. Dimensional weight is length x width x height in inches, divided by 166 to get pounds, then multiplied by 0.4536 to get kilograms.

Take a box of 18 x 14 x 10 inches that weighs 4 kg on the scale. 2,520 / 166 = 15.18 lb, and 15.18 x 0.4536 = about 6.89 kg. The dimensional figure is higher, so the 7 kg row applies.

Hungary uses our standard worldwide air-freight rate, which is twice the Malaysia rate card published on the shipping fees page:

• 1 kg: USD 36.00 x 2 = USD 72.00
• 10 kg: USD 11.50 x 2 = USD 23.00 per kg, x 10 kg = USD 230.00

The minimum is 1 kg per box, and there is no extra packing fee on top of the weight rate. Over 30 kg, ask us for a quote. Rates are reviewed and may change.

Door delivery in Hungary, import or clearance charges and any extra services are confirmed separately in your quote. The calculator on the shipping fees page estimates Malaysia forwarding only, so do not assume its totals or timing for Hungary. We do not sell freight insurance, and fragile items travel at your risk. You can arrange cover elsewhere.

Timing, the 50% deposit and when the balance is due

Pre-Order items are bought from the US store after you order, usually within 1 to 3 business days. Estimated delivery is 30 calendar days from the order date. Ready Stock USA items are already at our US location and take about 30 days from the order date. Peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days, so treat the checkout date as an estimate.

A 50% deposit is offered on Pre-Order items only. On the product page, choose the colour, choose "Pay 50% deposit" and add to bag. The cart and checkout show what you pay today and the balance due later.

Orders for Hungary ship straight from our New Hampshire hub, so the balance is paid before the item ships from the USA. The payment link arrives by email and WhatsApp. You can pay it without logging in, or from My Account, Orders, Pay.

Each item moves through Bought, In transit, Arrived and Delivered, with a WhatsApp update at each stage. FedEx carries shop orders to Hungary, and international parcels are usually in transit 1 to 5 working days after dispatch. Forwarded parcels take about 30 days by air freight as a planning estimate, so confirm departure and arrival timing with us.

Hungarian customs basics

Import duties, taxes and clearance charges are set by Hungary, are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in our prices or delivery fees. The body in charge is Hungary’s National Tax and Customs Administration. Check its current guidance for your product type before you order.

We declare the accurate item value on customs forms. For forwarded parcels, your declaration and receipt must match what you paid.

Our US base is New Hampshire, which has no general state sales tax. That can benefit eligible purchases delivered to the confirmed New Hampshire receiving address. It does not remove Hungary’s import charges.

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 paid for the order applies, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund. Contact us with your order number before sending anything back. The refund and returns policy has the details.

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 is free to cancel while it is Submitted or Information needed. Once the item has been bought, the charge is USD 35 per checkout. For forwarded parcels, a return to the US seller costs a per-package handling fee plus the return label, which you pay. The label must be a PDF or JPG.
