Most Common Possibilities:

• The item has only just arrived, and is still undergoing inspection. Packages received by us and inspected to be safe for shipping, are matched to your account within 1 business day of receipt on a first-arrived-first-matched basis
• The item could be showing as delivered even though the delivery truck is only scheduled to pop by our warehouse later
• While unlikely, the package could be misdelivered even if the item has been "delivered" to the correct ZIP code. This is because multiple addresses in one U.S. region share the same ZIP code. If this has happened, please contact the online store as soon as possible, to request a refund, or replacement shipment. As the package is not at our warehouse, we are unable to assist further on this.

Repack services are offered when we are sure that repack will help reduce your shipping fees.

Whereas, items considered unsuitable for repack

• when the volumetric weight of a package is not much greater than its actual weight

• items were already received in a polybag. This is usually the best weight saving container available for your order.

• items requiring added protection/padding e.g., electronic devices or fragile items; or the package contents may be compromised when repacked

If repack is not offered, but you would like us to assess your items for repack anyway, we’ll be glad to check it for you at no cost. Contact us below to get started!

Quick Answers

If our processing team assesses that your package can be repacked, we will offer an option at international shipping checkout, to repack your packages, cutting down the original package to give you the maximum savings possible.

Crating ensures fragile items with insufficient protection arrive safely at their international destination. When an item is flagged for crating due insufficient protection, a customer may:

• Ship the parcel as it is. Insurance will only cover lost or missing items, and not item damage, or
• Crate the package, so it is insured against damage. Crating fees are quoted upon request, and crating may affect final shipping weight.

Quick Answers

Yes you may!

However, lithium batteries are subject to additional regulations, due to the potential danger of fire. These regulations vary by country and courier, and couriers will not ship batteries to certain countries. In general:

• A package can have a maximum of two items with lithium batteries
• All lithium batteries in any form must be transported in a box
• A battery’s size and strength, and how it is packaged (example: pre-installed/ packed with device/ loose) will influence its applicable regulations and restrictions
• Loose lithium batteries (e.g., powerbanks, GoPro batteries) must be shipped separately

These regulations are complex, but our team of trained specialists can arrange for export of most lithium batteries and electronic devices containing these batteries. As a result, packages containing lithium batteries will be subject to a lithium battery processing fee.

For assistance determining if your lithium battery item can be repacked with other items or if comGateway can ship lithium batteries and electronic devices containing these batteries to your country, please contact our Customer Service team.

"For shipments to Singapore, all declared values of goods, insurance and freight charges (before any applicable discounts) are converted to Singapore Dollars at the latest exchange rate as per Singapore Customs.

Example

   Declared Cost of Goods: S$390

   Total Freight Charges (before promotion): S$30

   Insurance: S$4.20

   Applicable GST would be S$29.69 (7% of S$(390+30+4.20))

Note: While the Cost of Goods in this example is S$390, and less than S$400,its CIF value (S$424.20) exceeds the tax free allowance of S$400, thus GST is applicable."
