Frequently Asked Questions

How does Shop Plus Ship work?

How does it work?

Through the portal, we make it possible for you to make purchases in the Netherlands on your own. You can find out how to do this and how we handle VAT in the 5 steps under "How Does It Work?"

Once we have received your order, we process it in our portal and in our warehouse. We follow the steps you selected under “Additional Options.” Then, once payment has been received, we ship the order via sea or air freight on our weekly sailings or flights to our agent at your destination. There, you can pick up your shipment after paying the local fees and, if applicable, our charges.
Who is the Shop Plus Ship portal for?
Can we also make purchases as a company?
Can I also make purchases from a country outside Europe?
I can't create an account.
I don't have a postal code to enter during registration.

Purchasing & suppliers

I would like to purchase something from a (web) store or supplier in another EU country.
Can I also order something from China and have you forward it to me?
Can I make purchases via marketplace or auction websites?
Can I make purchases through you as a YAT (Yacht in Transit)?

Payment & VAT

Can the goods also be ordered with "post-payment"?
I am not receiving a VAT invoice from the supplier.

This is not a problem for shipping. Make sure that the "reclaim VAT" box is not checked when creating the new order. If you have selected this option and cannot change it back, please contact us using the response form in your order.

Please note that without a VAT invoice, VAT cannot be refunded, which means that the VAT paid cannot be offset against transport costs.
When do I pay local fees and import duties?
What payment methods do you offer?

Costs & imports

What are the costs?

Using the shipping calculator, you can see exactly what the costs are for your shipment under 1000 liters/1m3 and get an indication of the local costs.

For shipments larger than this volume, you can use the costs in the shipping calculator as an indication, but it is usually cheaper to request a quote via "Shipment larger than 1000 L / 1 m3."

Please note that local costs are always an indication, as customs at each destination has the final say.
I don't see the correct import duties in the shipping calculator.
Are there additional costs for non-standard sizes?

Shipments smaller than 1 CBM (m³)

What is 1000 L / 1m3 and how big is this?
In shipping/logistics, 1000 L / 1 m³ / 1 cbm refers to the volume (i.e., size) of your shipment, only in two different units.

Meaning
- L = liter
- m³ = cubic meter (CBM)
And the conversion is:
- 1 m³/ 1CBM = 1000 liters
- 1000 liters = 1 cubic meter / 1 CBM
  
  If the volume of your shipment is less than 1000L, you can purchase it via the portal.
How do I calculate the volume for a sea freight shipment?

Our shipping calculator calculates this itself based on the dimensions of the package you entered.

If you would still like to know how this works, visit
. With sea freight, you often determine the costs based on volume (CBM / m³ / liter), i.e., how much space your shipment takes up.

The formula here is (in cm):

CBM = (Length × Width × Height) : 1,000,000

Example:

A package has LxWxH sides measuring 100 × 50 × 40 cm.
Then you do 100 x 50 x 40 = 200,000
Then divide 200,000 by 1,000,000 and the answer is = 0.20 CBM / 200 liters.

Do you have multiple items? Then: CBM per item × number of items.

Helpful tip

1 CBM = 1 cubic meter = 1000 liters
That is a block measuring 100cm × 100cm × 100cm.
How do I calculate the volumetric weight for an air freight shipment?

Our shipping calculator does this automatically based on the dimensions and weights you enter.Would you still like to know how this works?

With air freight, it's not just the weight, but also how large a package is. A large package takes up more space and therefore has a higher volume weight.

The price is calculated based on the highestweight (between actual weight or volumetric weight).

See the calculation;

Formula (in cm):
Volume weight (kg) = (height × width × depth) : 1,000 × 0.167

Example:
33 × 80 × 45 CM = 118,800
118,800 ÷ 1,000 × 0.167 = 19.8 kg

Shipping & delivery

How long will the order take to arrive?
Can my order be delivered after 5 p.m. (NL time) or on weekends?
Where can I pick up my order?

The shipment can be picked up from the agent at your destination. This will be announced as soon as your order is ready for collection. If you would like to know this in advance, please contact us.

If you have placed a large order via the quotation form, we can also arrange for the shipment to be delivered to your home. Please indicate this in the quotation form when submitting your request.

What our customers say:

I can definitely recommend Shop + Ship

I run a solar company on Sint Maarten and started importing my panels from the Netherlands. I quickly came across Shop + Ship. The first order had a few hiccups, but Jeffrey at Shop + Ship was committed to providing quality customer service. The second order went off without a hitch. I received the shipment about 7 weeks after placing the order, and everything arrived in perfect condition. I highly recommend Shop + Ship for all your shipping needs from Europe to the islands.

IKEA Products and Kitchen to Bonaire

Shop Plus Ship helped us purchase IKEA products and a kitchen from the Netherlands. The big advantage is that we didn’t have to pay VAT, and everything was professionally packaged, so it arrived in Bonaire in good condition. We’ve worked with other companies in the past, but I have to say that here at Shop Plus Ship, they really care about their customers. Hats off to Naomi and Flavio.

Yaroslav Avraimov

They go above and beyond

Shop Plus Ship is the way to go! I always receive my items in perfect condition. At Shop Plus Ship, they go above and beyond to ensure all your items are properly packaged, especially if they’re fragile. Don’t worry—they’ll definitely add extra bubble wrap 🙂. Communication is always clear, and you can count on their top-notch customer service.

Juan Francisco Pardo

Great, great, great.

On the recommendation of an acquaintance, we used the services of Shop and Ship. Fast and smooth communication—the items were shipped from our supplier but sent by these guys, and within 5.5 (!!!) days, the items were picked up from their agent in Curaçao. We received excellent service there as well. And that’s certainly not always the case, since we’ve also had experiences with other agents here on the island.

For us, this was a first test run, but this week we’re already placing our second order/shipment via air freight. Top-notch, top-notch, top-notch.
