Shop from USA to Italy: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

You can shop from USA to Italy with Amaboxly in three ways: order an item already listed in our shop, have us buy from a US store for you, or buy it yourself and forward the parcel. Prices can be shown in euros as an estimate, and Italian orders ship straight from our New Hampshire hub.

Three ways to shop from USA to Italy

Shop orders use the product page and shop checkout. Each page shows its category: Pre-Order items are bought from the US store after you order, and Ready Stock USA items are already held at our US location. Only Pre-Order listings offer a deposit.

For Buy for me, open My Account, Forwarding, choose "Buy for me" and send the exact US product link. We review availability and eligibility, then place and pay for the retailer order once you pay the payment request. Retailer acceptance and stock are never guaranteed. If a store refused your Italian card, include the error message. The fee appears on the Buy for me page and in your payment request.

With "I bought something", you buy from the retailer yourself and send the parcel to the receiving address and suite we confirm. Our worldwide parcel forwarding page covers the service.

What to check before you buy

• Ask for an Italy quote first. Routes outside Malaysia need a destination-specific quote before you buy or ship, and 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.
• Tell us about items that need extra review: batteries (installed or spare), power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics, and bulky household items.
• For Buy for me, send the product name, size, colour, quantity, store price, a cart or product-page screenshot and any promotion details. A promo code is not assumed valid until the retailer confirms it.
• Keep your receipt and retailer tracking number, then declare the parcel in your forwarding account with accurate contents and paid value.

We do 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.

The cost pieces of a delivered price in Italy

A shop order has three pieces: the item price, delivery and any Italian import charges. The price can display in EUR as an estimate. We charge in ringgit at checkout and your bank converts, so the final euro amount can differ slightly. Delivery to Italy is a live quote per item, shown at checkout before you pay.

A forwarded parcel adds air freight, plus door delivery, import or clearance charges and services confirmed separately in your quote. Italy uses our standard worldwide rate, which is twice the matching Malaysia tier in USD per kg.

Billed weight is the higher of actual and dimensional weight (length x width x height in inches, divided by 166 for pounds, times 0.4536 for kg). The minimum is 1 kg per box, a weight between tiers uses the next tier up, and anything over 30 kg needs a quote. Rates are reviewed and may change.

The calculator on our shipping fees page estimates Malaysia forwarding only, so do not assume its totals or timing for Italy.

Timing, deposit and balance from the New Hampshire hub

Pre-Order and Ready Stock USA items are estimated at about 30 days from the order date. Peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days, so the date at checkout is an estimate. Shop orders to Italy travel by FedEx.

The 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.

Italy ships straight from New Hampshire, so 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.

For forwarded parcels, about 30 days is a planning estimate. Confirm departure, arrival and local delivery timing with us when you get your quote.

Customs basics for Italy

Import duties, taxes and clearance charges are set by the destination country and are the buyer’s responsibility. They are not included in our prices or delivery fees. In Italy the authority is the Customs and Monopolies Agency, so check its current guidance for your item before you order.

The general process is simple. The parcel travels with a declared value and description, receipts support that value, and the buyer pays any duty or tax assessed. We declare the accurate item value on shop orders. For forwarded parcels, we need an accurate declaration and receipt from you.

New Hampshire has no general state sales tax, which can benefit eligible purchases delivered to the confirmed New Hampshire receiving address. It does not remove Italy’s import duties, taxes or clearance 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 amount paid for the order applies, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller from Italy is deducted from your refund. Contact us with your order number and reason before sending anything back. The refund and returns policy has the full terms.

Cancelling a Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item before delivery deducts a 10% processing fee, and payment gateway fees are not refunded.

To return a forwarded parcel to the US seller, you pay a per-package handling fee plus the return label. The label must be a PDF or JPG. A QR code, return slip or barcode is not a label.
