2025-12-05

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?

International shipping costs are often calculated by volumetric weight

  • 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.

Log into your SuperBuy account. Navigate to "My Warehouse""My Parcels". Here you will see all items that have arrived at the SuperBuy warehouse.

Step 2: Select Items & Initiate Repacking

  • Specific Instructions:

Step 4: Select Packaging Materials (Optional)

Depending on the items, you may choose:

Material Best For Cost Impact
Stretch Film / Bubble Wrap Waterproofing, protecting electronics/hard items Low (highly recommended)
Sturdy Carton Box Heavy or multiple items Included or Low
Vacuum Bag Clothing, down jackets, bedding (reduces volume drastically) Small Fee
