How we work

The promises behind the price

Forwarding is a business people have been burned by. So here is every mechanic that decides what you pay and what happens to your parcel, written plainly, in one place. Each one is how the system actually behaves — not an aspiration.

We photograph your parcel when it arrives

When a package reaches our warehouse in Kendal, Central Java, we photograph it and the photo appears in your dashboard. You look at it before you decide to ship, combine or return.

If a parcel of yours is showing without a photo, ask us and we will take one.

You are billed on the greater of actual and volumetric weight

Carriers charge for the space a box takes as well as its mass, and so do we — never one rule for us and another for them. Volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres, divided by 5000. Whichever is greater is the chargeable weight.

A light, bulky box costs more than the scale suggests. That is the carrier's rule, and we pass it through unchanged.

One all-in price, in USD, before you pay

A Buy for Me quote is a single total for the item and our service, shown before you commit. International shipping is quoted separately by weight once the parcel is with us and we know what it actually weighs.

We do not add a fee at the end that was not in the quote you accepted.

A 24-hour window when something is wrong with an item

If a parcel arrives damaged, incomplete or not what was ordered, we email you a condition report with photos. You have 24 hours from that email to tell us what you want done.

After 24 hours without a reply we treat the item as accepted and forward it, so nothing sits in the warehouse accruing storage while we wait.

Refunds go back where the money came from

A refund is paid to your IndoShip wallet — instant and fee-free — or back to the original payment method. Never to a different card, a different account, or a different person.

That rule exists to protect you: an attacker who reaches your inbox still cannot redirect your money.

A Buy for Me request is sent from your account

You build the request without signing in, and create a free account to send it. The account is what lets us tie your quote, your parcels and your payments together — and lets you see every one of them later.

The shipping calculator asks for nothing at all: no account, no email.

What we never do

Every one of these is a line a scammer would have to cross to impersonate us. If you ever see one crossed, you are not talking to IndoShip.

  • We never change our bank or payment details by email. If you get a message saying our details changed, it is not from us — forward it to us and we will confirm.
  • Payment links we send you only ever point at indoshipglobal.com, PayPal, or Xendit. Nowhere else.
  • We never ask for your card number, PIN or one-time code — not by email, not in chat, not on the phone.
  • We do not invent reviews or testimonials, and there are none on this site.

Where the detail lives

This page is the summary. The binding versions are the policies themselves.
