Flycrates

Important Notice - Updated Information for Amazon International Shipping to your country
  • Amazon has recently expanded Amazon Global, its selection of items from the main US Amazon store that can be shipped internationally.
  • It’s a lot like a filtered version of the main Amazon website which simply excludes the items that can’t be shipped internationally.
  • If you're looking to get an Amazon item shipped to you internationally, we strongly recommend you start by visiting Amazon Global.
  • Flycrates will be expanding our advice section for Amazon International Shipping in the coming weeks.

Does Amazon have the quantity you want?

Please check your item's Amazon page for availability. Some items "only have 1 in stock".

To avoid delays or cancellation, don't order more than are available.

Import charges may apply

This shipment is subject to import charges (import duty and sales tax).

If a payment is due, customs will contact the recipient prior to delivery. Flycrates will include an invoice in your tracking email when your order ships. Recipients should also have a form of ID ready.

Don't have a local number?

Our shipping partner DHL often needs to confirm delivery address, timing and recipient ID by phone. They will not call a foreign number, so you will need to actively monitor your shipment and call the local DHL office to provide these details to enable delivery.
