Can’t (or don’t want to) cross the border for a package? Have it shipped to you — or to anyone, anywhere in the world. Quote Me is the request-a-quote service: we price your exact parcel and destination live, which usually beats a fixed rate table, and there’s no handling fee — you pay just the postage.
The Steps
- Open My Shipments → New in the portal (or hit “Ship” right from a package on your packages page).
- Pick the package(s). Selecting several? They’re automatically consolidated into one shipment — one box, one rate, one label.
- Choose “Quote me.”
- Enter the destination — your home, a friend, a hotel, or back to the sender.
- Add the details — for international destinations, a short customs description and value; optional insurance if you want the contents covered.
- Review and submit.
We then measure and weigh the actual shipment and send you real carrier quotes. Nothing ships and nothing is charged until you approve a quote — you pick the option you like from your shipment’s page, it’s charged to your balance, and we pack and dispatch it.
In a hurry? For US-domestic destinations you can tick the “just book the cheapest rate” preference and skip the approval round-trip.
Quotes are requested in the portal, not by email — the request is what ties the quote to your exact parcel.
Declaring What’s Inside (International)
For a shipment leaving the US, customs needs to know what’s in the box, so declare the items line by line — one line per kind of item, each with a plain description, quantity, and value. “3 cotton T-shirts” and “1 pair of running shoes” as separate lines, not “clothes” or “gift.”
Things That Can’t Go to Canada
Some items can be bought in the US but can’t be imported into Canada — for example pesticides that aren’t registered for use in Canada. We can’t forward those. Peptides can go only with the exact product name, an invoice, and a product link, and our staff review them before shipping. Supplements are always reviewed before we ship them, so list them clearly on their own lines. Not sure about an item? Ask us before you request a quote.
What It Costs
- Postage — the live carrier rate you approve.
- Consolidation — combining multiple packages into one shipment carries a consolidation fee, shown before you submit; it typically saves far more than it costs in postage, and boxes, tape, and packing materials are included.
- That’s it — no handling fee for quoted shipments.
Have Your Own Shipping Label Already?
That’s a different flow — see Ship For Me, which handles label-provided shipments for $5 per label (U.S.) or $8 international (includes customs documents printing & pouch).
One carve-out: if the package is going back to the sender or merchant it came from, there’s no handling fee at all — we print and affix the label for free and you pay only the postage. See Returns.
