Pricing & fees

Know what you're
paying for.

Every quote is itemized: the item, delivery to our warehouse, international shipping, and the duties or taxes that apply. Checks and packing are included—there is no separate service fee.

Quote anatomy

Every line, explained.

These are the lines a quote can contain. Not every request uses every line, and the quote you receive is specific to your item and destination.

Duties & taxes

What happens at the border.

The customs basis depends on the destination. The quote states how customs is handled—DDP, duty paid, or DAP—and what is collected on delivery.

Ways to use HaulMio

Start where you are.

These are not packages with separate price lists. They are different starting points, and every request is quoted for the actual item and destination.

You have the link

Link assist

Send the product link and the details that matter. We confirm the seller, availability, and shipping route, then send an itemized quote.

Best for A known item, a repeat purchase, or a seller with clear stock.

You have a photo or a description

Find it for me

Describe the item, add a screenshot, and tell us your budget and deadline. We look for candidates and confirm what we find before you approve.

Best for Hard-to-search items, translated listings, and one-off finds.

We receive your items at our warehouse, pack them together where it is safe, and quote one international shipment.

Best for Several purchases that can travel as one parcel.

What can move a quote

A quote is an estimate until it is final.

We confirm what we can before you approve. These are the variables that can change a number later—and what we do when they do.

Seller price or stock

A seller can change the price, run out, or substitute a variant. We tell you and revise the quote before you approve it.

Actual weight and dimensions

Carriers charge by actual or volumetric weight. We measure the packed parcel, and a carrier may re-weigh it.

Destination and service

Country, address type, transit speed, and carrier service all change the shipping price.

Item restrictions

Batteries, liquids, powders, magnets, branded goods, and oversize parcels may need a different channel or a surcharge.

Customs assessment

Customs can re-assess value, classification, or eligibility. That can change the final tax or duty outside the DDP scope.

Currency conversion

PayPal or your bank may apply a conversion rate. The charge currency and conversion are shown at checkout.
