Hi All -

Today DazzleDust25, the number 1 Irish beauty blog, posted a thorough review of BundleBox on her videoblog on YouTube. Great, we love to hear from our customers! The good news is that she gave us an A for customer service and she liked the speedy delivery, and the care we put in into taking care of her order. Nice one!

DazzleDust25 was less impressed by the initial shipping rates she got before we repacked her items into a smaller box, so we could offer her a much better shipping rate in second instance.

This is an issue that we and our customers face especially with cosmetics and clothing. USA merchants often ship these items in unnecessary bulky packaging, leading to high international shipping rates (more on how shipping charges are calculated you can find here).  We are working hard to launch a “Strip & Ship Service”, with which, with your permission, we will repack your items into a smaller box, so you can save on international shipping rates.

Thank you DazzleDust25 for such a thorough review and keeping us on our toes! We’ll keep working at it!

Happy Bundling

Apple.com will officially open the pre-order of the iPad in the USA today (1330 GMT).

With BundleBox, you can be among the first owners an iPad in the UK, Europe and Hong Kong, receiving it within 3 days of the highly anticipated 3rd April US launch.

That means you can get your hands on the iPad around a month before the UK, Europe and Hong Kong will have it for sale.

HOW CAN I GET IT?

There are two ways to get your hands on the iPad in advance:

1. US CREDIT CARD

If you own a US credit card simply pre-order your iPad on the Apple website from March 12th and have it delivered to your USA BundleBox address following the 3rd April launch.

2. BUNDLEBOX BUY FOR ME SERVICE

No US Credit Card? no problem! Our Buy For Me service lets you register and pay for your iPad in advance by filling in a simple form. BundleBox will buy the iPad on your behalf and deliver to your USA BundleBox address following the 3rd April launch.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

The 16GB WiFi version will cost £465.20. This includes all shipping costs and VAT, a saving of over £30 on the rumoured UK launch price!

Happy Bundling,

The Bundle Box Team.

Here it is people !

It’s official, BundleTech are now the proud holders of, what we understand to be, the first legally binding tariff ruling (BTI) confirming the EU classification of the Apple iPad. What’s more, we’ve successfully secured the more favorable code, and are delighted to announce that the iPad may therefore be imported duty free into the EU (don’t forget, Import VAT is due at the standard rate applicable in the country of import - sadly there’s nothing we can do to influence that !).

Legally binding tariff ruling on iPad

With all the deliberation and sleepless nights, it’s been a challenging few weeks, however we are very pleased with the outcome, and our thanks go out to the Customs Tariff Classification team in Southend for processing our ruling application with such expedience.

Indeed, Friday 12th March marks the first day that the WiFi version of Apple’s “magical and revolutionary product” is available to pre-order from their on-line store in readiness for the 3rd April launch, so it’s particularly pleasing to have beaten the clock and have everything in place. Our categories database has been updated with the iPad tax rates – we’re ready….bring it on !

More exciting information will follow shortly, so stay tuned.

Happy Bundling

Have you ever found something amazing to buy on a USA website and hot-surfed it to the site checkout to discover that you could not purchase it.

Up to 25% of USA websites do not ship outside of the USA or you cannot buy without a US credit card. It is true of some fashion, electrical, gadget, home ware sites and more.

At Bundlebox we do not want you to leave that gorgeous must have hand bag sitting forlornly at the checkout- we want to help you bring that chic little number home! Our newly updated Buy For Me service ensures that you can have exactly what you want!

No USA Credit Card? No worries- BundleBox can buy for you!

Previously the service involved emailing us and receiving a breakdown of how much it would cost to buy your item and deliver to your USA BundleBox address. However our updated online form now lets you enter  all of the relevant information including any discount codes and calculate the costs quicker.

As certain USA websites will either include sales tax on items or not. If your purchase is sales tax free, BundleBox will refund the difference to your account immediately following the sale.
