    No, it is enough to indicate all the goods in the parcel, with articles and links. But the invoices are definitely worth saving: the GBS service may ask you for them at the request of customs.

  • Do parcels have insurance?

    All shipments under the «With consolidation» tariff are insured against theft or damage for the amount indicated in the declaration. This type of insurance is mandatory.

  • How much is insurance?

    You can see the current price in our Shipping calculator . That's a few dollars for every $100 worth of goods.

  • Does insurance work in case of theft of part of the contents of the package?

    The insurance from the "With consolidation" tariff covers all cases: both the complete loss of the parcel, and the loss of individual goods inside it, and their damage (with some exceptions).

    Please note that parcels not from stores, but from individuals (for example, when buying from private traders on eBay or Etsy) are insured by default ONLY against total loss. To insure them against damage or theft of individual goods, you need to order a photo of the contents of the parcel once it arrives at the warehouse. This can be done in your personal account, in the sections "Register a parcel" or "Expected parcels."

  • Are there groups of goods that are not covered by insurance?

    Items that are not subject to insurance or have restrictions on insurance:

    • antique items

    Risky items such as glass, fragile plastic, ceramics or porcelain, candles, lamps, monitors, etc. can be damaged in international shipping and are not insured against damage, but only against total loss. We check the packaging of fragile items, it is also possible to order a sticker "fragile cargo" and additional packaging, but even this does not guarantee the delivery of fragile items in one piece.

    Damage insurance is not provided in cases where the goods are damaged due to poor quality, unreliable or inadequate packaging by the seller. For example: glass goods in a postal package; liquid cosmetics without additives packaging and protection against leakage with shipment in a bag; fragile goods sent by the seller in a package or postal envelope; sending goods in a box that does not correspond to the size of the goods (the goods move freely in the box, as a result of which the goods were damaged); the absence of intermediate materials in the box that protect the goods from free movement in the box. In the event that the goods are sent by the seller in unreliable packaging, the parcel is insured only against loss.

    Insurance for goods sent after splitting the incoming parcel without the "Package of the parcel in the shipping package" service provides only cases of complete loss. Such shipments are not insured against damage or theft of attachments.

    The insurance does not cover damage to factory or other product packaging, including blister packs of toys, cosmetics, and so on.

  • Can I send a package to another person?

    No problem! But the recipients documents will be required: a Tax ID number + a passport scan.

    The storage period at the point of issue of orders is up to 14 days, in the post office - up to 7 days. If you did not have time to pick up the parcel from the parcel terminal within the specified time, you need to write or call GBS support and ask them to re-deliver your postamat parcel.

Questions about the "One by one» tariff
  • What is the «One by one» tariff?

    The «One by one" tariff is one of the types of delivery implemented by prostobox.com in partnership with GBS. This is one of the most affordable shipping options from the USA. but there are some limitations here:

    - delivery only to parcel terminals and pickup points, there is no courier delivery
    - in each shipment - no more than one incoming parcel
    - only for this tariff the possibility of splitting the parcel is available
    - no other operations are performed with the incoming parcel in the warehouse
    - if you order goods with our operators ("Help with purchases" service), sending a parcel with the tariff "One by one" is possible only in case of purchasing one unit of goods.

  • Can my package be repackaged?

    With the "One by one" tariff, we do not carry out any operations with the parcel: we do not split the parcel, don't repack it, don't add other things to it. We will prepare it and send it to you in the box in which it was received.

    At the same time, we always carefully inspect the packaging, and we may Implement minor corrections, if any are required. Sometimes the warehouse collector can conduct a complete repacking of the parcel, if necessary.

  • How to send a parcel with the “One by one” tariff if the division service was ordered

    If you ordered a division of the parcel, we also recommend ordering additional packaging - to ensure their safety in transit. This service must be booked after we have completed the division, but before the package has been sent for final assembly. Click on the gear at the top right of the parcel and in the drop-down list, select the option "Packing the parcel in the transport package."

    This option works only for shipments for which the division service has been performed. For all other parcels this service is not available.

  • When I select the «One by one" tariff, there is no comment field and no option to pack items in a bag. Why?

    The «One by one» tariff is calculated for the delivery of the package «as it is". We do not perform special requests and additional operations with the shipment tariff. That's why this fare is so beneficial and inexpensive.

    The only thing - at your request, we can wrap the shipment with stretch film and stick a “fragile load” sign on it. This will provide additional security for the package.

  • Is it possible to insure a parcel with the “One by one” tariff?

    "Yes, insurance is available for all types of our delivery. Moreover, for the tariff "One by one" not only the complete non-delivery of the parcel is insured, but also theft or damage to individual goods inside it.

    There are some restrictions on insurance. Not subjected to insurance are:

    - Antiques
    - Precious stones, diamonds
    - Ceramic products
    - Glass things, dishes (can only be insured against loss)
    - Jewelry made of silver and gold
    - Watches
    - Collectible stamps and other collectibles
    - Purchases from eBay auctions (can only be insured against loss)
    - Audio speakers
    - Musical instruments
    Виниловые пластинки (исключается страховка от повреждений как упаковок, так и самих пластинок) - Suitcases (including special suitcases for musical instruments) are not insured against damage
    - Food.

    Insurance does not cover shipping costs and does not cover damage to product packaging (boxes, stickers, etc.).

    Insurance also does not work in cases where damage to the goods is caused by improper seller's packaging. Let's say if fragile items were shipped in a normal postal package, or the box was too large for the product, or the parcel did not contain materials that protect the product from moving inside the box. If the packaging from the seller is not suitable (and we determine this in the warehouse), you must either order a repackaging service, or the parcel can only be insured from total loss.

    If you ordered the division of an incoming parcel, but did not use the service "Packing the parcel in shipping packaging", we cannot guarantee the safety of such a parcel from damage or theft of contents. In this case insurance only works against the total loss of the package.
