Shop from USA to Iceland: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

You can shop from USA to Iceland with Amaboxly in three ways: order an item listed in our shop, ask us to buy it for you, or buy it yourself and forward the parcel. Iceland orders ship straight from our New Hampshire hub, and Icelandic import charges are always separate from what you pay us.

What makes up a delivered price in Iceland

A delivered price has up to four pieces: the item, any Amaboxly service fee, shipping to Iceland, and whatever Iceland Revenue and Customs charges on import.

For items in our shop, prices can be shown in ISK as an estimate. We charge in ringgit at checkout and your bank converts, so the final amount can differ slightly. Delivery to Iceland is a live quote per item, shown at checkout before you pay.

For forwarding and Buy for me, freight is billed on the higher of actual and dimensional weight, with a 1 kg minimum per box. Iceland uses our standard worldwide air freight rate, which is twice the Malaysia rate per kg.

Dimensional weight matters for bulky boxes. A box of 18 x 14 x 10 inches is 2,520 cubic inches. Divided by 166 that is 15.18 lb, or about 6.89 kg, so a 2 kg down jacket in that box is billed on the 7 kg row.

Door delivery in Iceland, import or clearance charges and extra services are confirmed separately in your quote. The calculator on our shipping fees page estimates Malaysia forwarding only, so ask us for an Iceland quote before you buy.

Three ways to shop from the USA to Iceland

An item from our shop

If the item is already on amaboxly.com, use the product page and shop checkout. Every listing is marked Ready Stock Malaysia, Ready Stock USA or Pre-Order. Our Pre-Order listings are bought from the US store after you order.

Buy for me

If a US store rejects your Icelandic card or billing address, or the item is not in our shop, send the exact product link through your Forwarding account (My Account, Forwarding, "Buy for me"). Add the size, colour, quantity, store price, a cart screenshot and any error message.

We review the request and place the order after you pay the payment request. A small assisted-purchase fee per checkout applies, shown on the Buy for me page and in your payment request. Retailer acceptance and stock are never guaranteed.

I bought something

If your card works, buy from the retailer yourself and ship to the receiving address and suite we confirm. There is no Amaboxly purchase fee on this route. Declare the parcel in your forwarding account with accurate contents and paid value, then review the quote before authorizing shipment. Our worldwide parcel forwarding page lists the steps.

Check these before you pay a US store

• Ask for an Iceland quote first. A listed country does not mean every item, carrier route or postcode is accepted.
• Get the complete receiving address and suite details before checkout. Never ship to an incomplete address.
• Ask us before buying anything with batteries, power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics, or bulky household items. These need extra review.
• Keep your receipt and the retailer tracking number. You need both for the declaration.
• Plan for risk on fragile goods. We do not sell freight insurance and forwarding terms give no loss or damage cover, so arrange cover elsewhere if you want it.

Our US base is in New Hampshire, which has no general state sales tax. That can benefit eligible purchases delivered to the confirmed New Hampshire receiving address.

Timing, deposit and balance on the New Hampshire hub

Pre-Order and Ready Stock USA items take about 30 days from the order date. This is an estimate: peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days. We usually buy a Pre-Order within 1 to 3 business days and send a first update within 3 to 5 business days.

Pre-Order items can be paid with a 50% deposit. Choose the colour, select "Pay 50% deposit" and add to bag. The cart and checkout show what you pay today and the balance due later. Ready Stock items are paid in full.

Because Iceland is served straight from New Hampshire, the balance is paid before the item ships from the USA. The payment link arrives by email and WhatsApp, and you can pay without logging in. The item ships once the balance is paid, and international parcels are usually in transit 1 to 5 working days after dispatch.

If the US store sells out before we secure your item, we refund everything paid for it, including the deposit. For forwarded parcels, treat about 30 days as a planning estimate and confirm departure, arrival and local delivery timing with us.

Iceland Revenue and Customs basics

Import duties, taxes and clearance charges are set by Iceland and are the buyer’s responsibility. They are not included in our shop prices, delivery fees or freight. The New Hampshire sales tax position applies to the US purchase only and does not remove Icelandic import charges.

In general, customs looks at the declared value and the item description, and may ask for a receipt. We declare the accurate item value on customs forms, and for forwarded parcels you must give us an accurate declaration and receipt. Check the current guidance from Iceland Revenue and Customs for your item type before you order.

Returns and cancellations

Shop orders can be returned within 30 days of delivery, including for change of mind. A change-of-mind return must be in new condition, carries a 10% restocking fee on the total paid for the order, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller from Iceland is deducted from your refund. Contact us with your order number before sending anything back. The full terms are in our refund and returns policy.

A Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item can be cancelled any time before delivery. A 10% processing fee is deducted 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 charge is USD 35 per checkout. Returning a forwarded parcel to the US seller costs a per-package handling fee plus the return label, which must be a PDF or JPG.
