How it works
You shop and pay the US store directly. We handle the warehouse, the ocean, and the customs, all the way to your door in Israel.
How your price is built
Volume, not weight. Ocean freight is priced by CBM (cubic meters): CBM = L × W × H (cm) ÷ 1,000,000, summed across items.
$300 per CBM, your LMP sea freight estimate.
Not included (added later): Israeli ground delivery and 18% VAT, shown as separate lines so nothing is hidden.
VAT is CIF based: for goods over $75, Israel applies 18% to goods + freight + insurance (+ any duty).
Optional insurance available, recommended for high value or fragile items.
Estimate only, final price is set after the item is received and weighed/measured.
