International shipping costs are based on the dimensional weight, so items with a large volume relative to their actual weight tend to have significantly higher shipping costs.
For items with a high compression rate, using a compression pack for packaging can greatly reduce the shipping costs.
Bedding items are a good example. For such products, using a compression pack can cut the shipping costs by more than half.
While there is a fee for the vacuum packaging, the overall savings on the international shipping costs still make it beneficial for the customer, even after accounting for the packaging fee.
You don’t need to request the vacuum packaging separately. If we determine that using a compression pack would be cost-effective for the customer, we will proceed with the vacuum packaging accordingly.
