US shipping address FAQ: everything Lebanese shoppers ask

2 min read

A US forwarding address is the backbone of shopping American stores from Lebanon. Here are the questions we get asked most — short, honest answers.

Is the US address really free?

Yes — creating the address costs nothing. You only pay for shipping (and Buy-for-Me service if you use it) when you actually send a parcel home.

Can I avoid US sales tax?

Our warehouse is in a tax-free US state, so most orders shipped there carry no sales tax — an instant saving versus buying in a taxed state.

Can you combine boxes from different stores?

Yes. Consolidation is the biggest way to save on freight — we merge parcels from many stores into one shipment and charge by the combined weight.

How long can you hold my packages?

We hold your items free for a generous window so you can wait for other orders to arrive and consolidate. Ask support for the current free-storage period.

What can't I ship?

Hazardous goods, weapons, and some regulated items (certain cosmetics, supplements and medicines) are restricted. When in doubt, send us the link before you buy and we'll confirm.
