Shop from USA to Uruguay: Routes, Costs and Customs

You can shop from USA to Uruguay with Amaboxly in three ways: order an item listed in our shop, ask us to buy from a US store for you, or buy it yourself and forward the parcel. Orders for Uruguay leave from our New Hampshire hub, and shop prices can be shown in UYU as an estimate.

Three ways to shop from the USA to Uruguay

For a shop order, open the product page in our shop and use the normal checkout. Every product page shows its category: Pre-Order, Ready Stock USA or Ready Stock Malaysia.

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 the retailer order after you pay the payment request. Retailer acceptance and stock are never guaranteed.

For parcel forwarding, choose "I bought something" in the same area and get the complete receiving address and suite details before checkout. Keep the receipt and retailer tracking number, then declare the parcel with accurate contents and paid value.

What makes up the delivered price

A shop order has three pieces: the item price, the live delivery quote shown per item at checkout, and any import duty or tax charged in Uruguay, which our prices and delivery fees do not include. Prices can be displayed in UYU as an estimate. We charge in ringgit and your bank converts, so the final amount can differ slightly.

Forwarded parcels and Buy for me orders to Uruguay use our standard worldwide air-freight rate: twice the Malaysia per-kg tier on the shipping fees page. Two worked examples:

• 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

Billed weight is the higher of actual 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 kg. A 20 x 16 x 12 inch box gives 3,840 / 166 = 23.13 lb, about 10.5 kg. If the contents weigh 6 kg, the 10.5 kg figure is billed.

Door delivery in Uruguay, import or clearance charges and extra services are confirmed separately in your quote. The calculator on that page estimates Malaysia forwarding, so its totals should not be assumed for Uruguay.

Checks to make before you buy

• Ask for a Uruguay quote on WhatsApp (+1 (603) 440-9886) before buying or shipping. A listed country does not mean every item, carrier route or postcode is accepted.
• 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, include 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.
• Arrange your own cover if you want it. We do not sell freight insurance, and forwarding terms give no loss or damage cover.

Timing, deposit and balance for Uruguay orders

Pre-Order items are usually bought within 1 to 3 business days, with estimated delivery 30 calendar days from the order date. Ready Stock USA items take about 30 days from the order date, and air freight forwarding uses about 30 days as a planning estimate. Peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days, so treat every date as an estimate.

The 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.

Uruguay orders 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 without logging in, or from My Account, Orders, Pay.

Customs in Uruguay: the National Customs Directorate

Import duties, taxes and clearance charges are set by Uruguay and are the buyer’s responsibility. For shop orders, we declare the accurate item value on the customs forms. For forwarded parcels, you give us an accurate declaration and the receipt, and import or clearance charges are confirmed in your quote.

This guide does not quote Uruguayan thresholds or rates. Check the National Customs Directorate’s current guidance for your item and its value before you order.

Returns, cancellations and sold-out items

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 is deducted from your refund. Contact us with your order number and reason before sending anything back. The full terms are on our refunds and returns page.

Cancelling a Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item before delivery carries a 10% processing fee, and payment gateway fees are not refunded. If the US store sells out before we secure your item, we refund everything paid for that item, including the deposit.

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.
