Shipping to Europe
Unfortunately, we are not able to ship to Europe at this time. New packaging fee requirements under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) recently took effect. We're sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. You can still order from us by using a parcel forwarding company, which gives you a US address to ship to.
Why we paused shipping to Europe
The PPWR adds packaging fee requirements for businesses that send packaged goods to customers in EU countries. As a small family business, we aren't able to meet those requirements right now, so we've stopped shipping orders directly to European addresses.
This applies to every order shipped to a European country, including countries outside the EU, regardless of order size or what's in it.
How to order with a parcel forwarder
Many of our international customers use a parcel forwarding company. These services give you a US address where we can ship your order, and they then forward it to you in your country. Well-established options include:
- Stackry
- Shipito
- Reship
We aren't affiliated with any of them, and several others are available. Compare fees and delivery times for your country before you sign up.
How it works
- Sign up with a parcel forwarding company and get your personal US address.
- Place your order on our site and enter that US address as the shipping address at checkout.
- We ship your order to the forwarder, the same way we ship any US order.
- The forwarder sends the package on to your home address.
What to know before you choose this route
- The forwarder charges its own fee for international shipping, on top of our US shipping.
- Delivery takes longer, because the package makes two trips.
- Any import VAT, duties, or customs charges in your country are billed separately from your order with us.
- The forwarder handles the second leg of the journey, so questions about that part of the delivery go to them.
Common questions
Does EcoAble ship to Europe?
Not at this time. We paused direct shipping to European countries after new packaging fee requirements under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) took effect.
Can I still order if I live in Europe?
Yes. Sign up with a parcel forwarding company, use the US address they give you at checkout, and they will forward your order to you. Stackry, Shipito, and Reship are three well-established options.
Which parcel forwarder should I use?
That's up to you. Stackry, Shipito, and Reship are all well-established, but any forwarder that provides a US delivery address will work. Compare their fees and delivery times for your country before you sign up.
Will you ship to Europe again?
We don't have a date to share yet. If that changes, we'll update this page.
