Shop from USA to Sweden: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

You can shop from USA to Sweden 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. Orders for Sweden leave from our New Hampshire hub, and any Swedish import charges are yours to pay on top of our prices.

What a delivered price in Sweden is made of

The US price tag is only one part of the cost. For an item listed on amaboxly.com, there are three pieces:

• The item price. You can view it as an estimate in SEK, but we charge in ringgit at checkout and your bank converts, so the final amount can differ slightly.
• Shop delivery to Sweden, which is a live quote per item shown at checkout before you pay.
• Swedish import duties, taxes and clearance charges, which are not included in our prices or delivery fees.

For Buy for me and forwarded parcels, the pieces are the US store price, air freight on the billed weight, and any door delivery, import or clearance charges and services confirmed separately in your quote. Buy for me also carries a small assisted-purchase fee per checkout, shown on the Buy for me page and in your payment request.

Freight examples for Sweden

Sweden uses our standard worldwide air-freight rate, which is twice the Malaysia rate for the same weight tier. At 1 kg that is USD 36.00 x 2 = USD 72.00. At 10 kg the Malaysia rate is USD 11.50 per kg, so USD 23.00 x 10 kg = USD 230.00. Over 30 kg, ask for a quote.

Billed weight is the higher of actual weight and dimensional weight, with a 1 kg minimum per box. Dimensional weight is length x width x height in inches, divided by 166 for pounds, then multiplied by 0.4536 for kilograms. A box of winter boots measuring 18 x 14 x 10 inches comes to 2,520 / 166 = 15.18 lb, or about 6.9 kg, even if the boots weigh 3 kg. A weight between tiers uses the next tier up.

The rate card is on our shipping fees page. The calculator there estimates Malaysia forwarding only, so rely on your Sweden quote. Rates are reviewed and may change.

Three ways to shop from USA to Sweden

With Buy for me, retailer acceptance and stock are never guaranteed. If a store rejected your card, send us the link and the error message so we can check. The Buy for me page explains the request, and the worldwide forwarding page covers the self-purchase route.

Checks before you pay a US store

• Ask for a Sweden-specific 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, and never ship to an incomplete address.
• Ask us before buying anything with batteries (installed or spare), power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics, or bulky household items. These need extra review.
• For Buy for me, send the exact product URL, product name, size, colour, quantity, store price and a cart or product-page screenshot. A promo code is not assumed valid until the retailer confirms it.
• Keep your receipt and retailer tracking number, then declare the contents and paid value accurately in your forwarding account.

We do not sell freight insurance, and forwarding terms give no loss or damage cover, so glass, ceramics and liquids travel at your risk. You can arrange cover elsewhere.

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 Sweden’s import duties, taxes or clearance charges.

Deposit and balance on the New Hampshire hub

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. Cart and checkout show what you pay today and the balance due later. Ready Stock items are paid in full.

Orders for Europe ship straight from our New Hampshire hub, so for Sweden 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 or from My Account, Orders, Pay. Card payments work from anywhere we deliver. Browse the current Pre-Order listings to see what is available.

Timing for orders to Sweden

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 the first update comes within 3 to 5 business days. Peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days, so treat the checkout date as an estimate.

Shop orders to Sweden travel by FedEx, and international parcels are usually in transit 1 to 5 working days after dispatch. You get a WhatsApp message at each status: Bought, In transit, Arrived and Delivered. For forwarded parcels, confirm departure, arrival and local delivery timing with us in your quote.

Swedish Customs (Tullverket) basics

Duties and taxes on your parcel are set by Sweden and are your responsibility as the buyer. Swedish Customs (Tullverket) is the authority. In general, customs looks at the declared value, the item description and the receipt, and the buyer pays any duty or tax due.

We declare the accurate item value on customs forms, and forwarded parcels need your accurate declaration and receipt. Rules change, so check Tullverket’s current guidance 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. Contact us with your order number and reason before sending anything back. Full terms are on the refund and returns page.

Cancelling a Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item before delivery costs 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.
