Shop from USA to Ireland: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

You can shop from USA to Ireland 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. Each route has its own costs and timing, and every parcel passes through Irish customs on arrival. This guide covers what a shopper in Ireland should check, pay and expect.

Three ways to shop from USA to Ireland

A shop order is the simplest route. Every product page shows whether the item is Pre-Order, Ready Stock USA or Ready Stock Malaysia, and the shop’s own price, delivery and returns policy apply. Our Pre-Order category is a good place to start browsing.

Buy for me helps when a US store rejects an Irish card or billing address. Send the exact product URL, product name, size, colour, quantity, store price and a cart or product-page screenshot, plus the error message if your card was declined. We review availability and eligibility, then place and pay for the retailer order after you pay our payment request. There is a small assisted-purchase fee per checkout, shown on the Buy for me page and in your payment request. Retailer acceptance and stock are never guaranteed.

If you buy the item yourself, there is no Amaboxly purchase fee. Get the complete receiving address and suite details from us before checkout, keep the 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. Our worldwide parcel forwarding page sets out each step.

What makes up the delivered price in Ireland

A shop order has three cost pieces: the item price, a live shipping quote per item shown at checkout, and any Irish import charges. Prices can be displayed in euro as an estimate. We charge in ringgit at checkout and your bank converts, so the final euro amount can differ slightly. Card payments work from Ireland.

For Buy for me and forwarded parcels, air freight to Ireland uses our standard worldwide rate, which is twice the Malaysia rate per kg for the same weight tier.

Billed weight is the higher of actual weight and dimensional weight, with a minimum of 1 kg per box. Dimensional weight is length x width x height in inches, divided by 166 to give pounds, then multiplied by 0.4536 for kg. A 16 x 12 x 10 inch box works out at 1,920 / 166 = 11.57 lb, or about 5.25 kg, even if the contents weigh 3 kg. A weight between tiers uses the next tier up, so that box falls in the 6 kg row.

Door delivery in Ireland, import or clearance charges and any extra services are confirmed separately in your quote. There is no extra packing fee on top of the weight rate. The calculator on our shipping fees page estimates Malaysia routes only, so read the rate card there and ask us for an Ireland quote before you buy. Rates are reviewed and may change.

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. It does not remove Irish import duties, taxes or clearance charges.

Irish customs: what Revenue assesses

Revenue, the Irish Tax and Customs service, decides what is payable on goods arriving from the USA. Duties and taxes are set by the destination country, are the buyer’s responsibility and are not included in our prices or delivery fees.

Each parcel travels with a declared value and a description of its contents, and customs uses those details to assess any charge. We declare the accurate item value on customs forms for shop orders. For forwarded parcels, you must give us an accurate declaration and the receipt.

Thresholds and rates can change, so we do not quote them here. Check Revenue’s current guidance for your item type before you order, and keep your order confirmation as proof of what you paid.

Deposit, balance and timing from the New Hampshire hub

Pre-Order and Ready Stock USA items take about 30 days from the order date. Pre-orders are usually bought within 1 to 3 business days, and your first update arrives within 3 to 5 business days. Peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days, so treat the date at checkout as an estimate.

A 50% deposit is offered on Pre-Order items only. On the product page, choose the colour, select "Pay 50% deposit" and add to bag. Cart and checkout show what you pay today and the balance due later. Ready Stock items are paid in full.

Orders for Ireland ship straight from our New Hampshire hub, so the balance is paid before the item ships from the USA. The payment link comes by email and WhatsApp, and you can pay without logging in. Once the balance is paid, the item ships by FedEx, and international parcels are usually in transit 1 to 5 working days after dispatch. You get a WhatsApp at each status: Bought, In transit, Arrived and Delivered.

Checks before you pay a US store

Ask for an Ireland quote first. A listed country does not mean every item, carrier route or postcode is accepted, and prohibited items can be held and disposed of.

Some items need extra review before buying: batteries (installed or spare), power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, anything with radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics, and bulky household items. Send us the product link before you order any of these.

Amaboxly does not sell freight insurance, and forwarding terms give no loss or damage cover. Glass, ceramics and liquids travel at your risk, so arrange cover elsewhere if you need it. You can reach us on WhatsApp at +1 (603) 440-9886 or through the contact page.

Returns and cancellations

Shop orders can be returned within 30 days of delivery, including for 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 from Ireland is deducted from your refund. Report damaged items immediately with photos of the item and packaging, and contact us with your order number before sending anything back. The full terms are on our refund and returns page.

You can cancel a Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item any time before delivery. A 10% processing fee is deducted, payment gateway fees are not refunded, and the rest, including the deposit, goes back the way you paid. If the US store sells out before we secure your item, we refund everything paid for that item.

A Buy for me request is free to cancel while it is Submitted or Information needed. Once the item has been bought, the cancellation charge is USD 35 per checkout.
