Shipmentify will bill you twice for our service. First for buying the product & second for shipping. We provide below the cost components in the respective bill.

First Bill consists of the Product Price + Our Service Fee.

Our service fee is computed as 5% of Product Price. 

You can pay us thru any of the available methods here: www.shipmentify.com/payment-method.

Second Bill is for local shipping, if there is charge, and international shipping.

Local shipping fee is based on seller’s published price.

Once we have confirmed your payment, we will ship your package according to your chosen shipping method.

We accept US dollars, and digital currencies like bitcoins, ether, and litecoins for payments.

Before we send you the first bill for item cost & service fee, we will first confirm with the seller if items are available. Most of the time, stock status in seller’s page is inaccurate or not updated. Once your payment is confirmed, we then buy the item.

However, due to time difference, from confirming stock availability to receipt of your payment, item may no longer be available, especially involving fast moving items. Shipmentify will inform you of the matter & will seek your advice whether we refund you for your payment or use the amount as credit for future purchase.

Yes, as long as your order is not yet processed by our purchaser. We will refund your payment in full amount to your account. If items in your order were already purchased, you will be charged for Service Fee and Return Shipping Fee, the remainder amount will be returned to your account.

If you have fund left in your account, you can either retain the amount for future transaction(s), or request a refund.

Refund via Paypal Service
PayPal charges us 0.30 USD per payment, even if the transaction is a refund. Thus, if you are requesting a refund with Shipmentify, the 0.30 USD will be deducted from total amount to be refunded. In other words, you shall cover the PayPal transaction fee of 0.30 USD in the refund.

A Member can earn reward points or loyalty points from every fulfilled order, equivalent to 1 point for every 1 dollar spent on Product Cost and Local Shipping. This can only be used as part of our loyalty program where we upgrade your membership to Gold or Platinum once certain Point Value Thresholds are met.

For more information, you may refer here: shipmentify.com/pricing.

A low value amount of orders from China is not cost-effective as the shipping prices for the first 500 grams in all shipping companies for any country are much expensive than the next 500 gram.

So, to benefit from the order, we require our customers to have a $50 minimum amount of item cost before purchase can proceed. You may combine all your orders until the threshold is met.
