Repacking your items with SuperBuy is a smart strategy to reduce volumetric weight and significantly lower your shipping costs. This step-by-step tutorial explains the entire process.
Why Request Repacking?

- Remove unnecessary boxes, wrappers, and filler.
- Combine items from multiple orders into one efficient package.
- Use the smallest appropriate box or protective mailer.
- Secure items to prevent damage during transit without excess bulk.
The result: Smaller, lighter packages and cheaper shipping fees.
