Declaring your item

We make it easy for you to submit your Customs declaration so you can receive your parcel faster. Simply select the Declare button for your parcel under 'Action required' in your You Shop account. Add the category, value of your content and upload invoice then hit submit. If you declare your parcel's value in another currency, You Shop will calculate the NZD equivalent at today's exchange rate.

Repacking your parcel

We can help you save on shipping costs by cutting down the box of your single parcel. The repack option is made available for your parcel only if there is at least a difference of 2 kg between the actual weight and volumetric weight of your parcel's packaging. To save on multiple parcels consider our consolidation service.

Your parcel may be eligible for our repack service if the Repack Request is available to be selected for your parcel in your account.

Once you submit a Repack Request, we will assess your parcel, and if suitable, You Shop will cut the box down to reduce its volumetric size. Once complete, the parcel's status will update to Repacked. This process takes approx. up to 2 working days.

Repack pricing
The shipping fee for a repacked parcel is:
NZ$15.50 per 500g + GST - Standard (air freight)
NZ$12.50 per 500g + GST - Economy (sea freight)
There is a minimum chargeable weight of 1kg. Visit our pricing page for more info.

We cannot repack your parcel if it:

  • Doesn’t have a weight difference greater than 2 kg between the actual weight and volumetric weight.
