Central Account Information

Yes. You can login to your eZone account and add a name. Please note, there will be only one email of record for all email notices, and deliveries (if available in your country) will be made to only one address on record. As with all packages, if you decide to allow someone else to use your account, it is essential that the name and account number be included on the shipper’s label to avoid delays or misroutes. Or save the hassle and ensure proper handling, just refer your friend/relative to establish their own account. Check with your local agent for current promotions and rewards for your referral.

Verify with your local agent upon sign up. Do keep an eye out – your local agent will frequently run renewal specials and provide notification when it is time for renewal. When the time comes for payment, the sign up fee appears as an additional line item on your invoice.

Some agencies do charge a sign up fee. Check with your local agent upon sign up to verify the term, cost and renewal period. Check out your country information here.

Contact information for our agents can be found beneath eZ Locations.

General Cargo Information

Main account holders will receive a notification to their email on record for each package received by our eZHub. You can log in to your eZone account and track the cargo through our entire system. When the cargo is cleared through customs and all fees are levied, you will receive an email with your invoice. Additionally, you can check the flight schedule here to determine when your cargo will likely fly, and check with your local agent regarding availability of cargo once it arrives in-country.

Many eZone agencies do offer this service, but residential delivery options vary from service destination to service destination. Please check with your local agent to verify service levels and any fees.

Yes, we will assist with arranging delivery elsewhere. Please contact your local agent to make arrangements. eZone charges a $30 in/out fee for cargo received in our facility and not forwarded using our service. We can arrange local delivery/transfer, but we recommend you first request your supplier or your intended recipient make the transfer. If eZone is to make the transfer, we will charge both the in/out fee and delivery fee. If forwarded via UPS, you will be responsible for shipping charges.

We offer a local pick-up service [serving Dade & Broward counties]. Once authorized in writing, the fee for this service will be charged to you in your local currency on your freight and clearance invoice. Contact your local agent with the details, including the address & telephone number of the supplier, any order or pick-up number that may be required, and the package size(s) and weight(s).

eZone’s eZHub is an active warehouse with a daily turnover of cargo. We are not set up for storage. Please contact your local agent to evaluate and quote a fee for the requested service.

Yes, we can help. When cargo arrives in our eZHub, our receivers identify whether it may benefit from special handling, and will mark it as an exception. As with all exceptions, a general email will be sent to the main account holder, with a more detailed inquiry being sent to the local agent requiring your direction for handling. We offer our White Glove Service for TV’s over 30 inches starting at $35 usd, and will provide a quote for other breakable items such as auto glass and mirrors.

Don’t worry, we’ve got it! Local agents can assist you in arranging for Ocean forwarding using our eWave service for items you know are bulkier and heavier. Occasionally, items may arrive to the eZHub that are larger than expected. To maximize your savings, any cargo that is received weighing over 100 lbs (in most countries) will generate an eZone exception email requesting confirmation to forward via Air to your destination. Keep in mind that there are some dimensional and weight restrictions for oversized cargo which can generate additional fees via Air. We will be certain to advise you of these to aid in your decision regarding handling.

No. Perishable items are too fragile and require too high a level of risk.

Yes. Unlike many competitors, eZone has HAZMAT specialists who will certify cargo authorizing air travel ensuring our customers access to more items. The fee for this certification depends on the type of hazardous material. Typical items such as perfume, nail polish and shave cream are certified as Consumer Commodities. CC-HAZ shipments are typically held until several packages are on hand to mitigate the cost. Check with your local agent to verify HAZMAT shipping schedules and to check on the fees for goods you are having shipped.

All firearms, munitions, cash, tear gas and pepper spray are strictly prohibited from air forwarding. There are items that are restricted, but can be forwarded with proper certification and additional fees. Check out our HAZMAT section here.

How long your cargo will take to get from our eZHub to you will depend on several factors. Your local agent can provide you with more details for expected availability once it is “in country”. While we have daily flights Monday through Friday, not all destinations are served daily. As you review our regularly scheduled flights here, keep in mind that packages received in the eZHub prior to 2pm are prepared for the next day’s flight.

Rates, Fees, Payments

No. All fees (Freight, Duties, Taxes, Handling, Delivery, etc.) are payable when cargo arrives in-country. Freight is based on the rate here, and is included as a separate line item on your invoice for easy reference.

Payment can be made in local currency, credit/debit cards, and eZone Vouchers. Some destinations offer additional payment options such as paying by personal cheque, so speak with your local agent to discuss your payment options.

While we hope that your package arrives intact, we ask that you always open and check your cargo upon delivery/pick-up just to make sure. It is best to immediately bring issues of damage or loss to the attention of your local agent and supplier. Your local agent will take possession of the package and will take clear pictures of the item and packaging, providing a description of the damage/loss for the claims process. Additionally, insurance must not have been declined, and must be paid on the shipment prior to claims initiation.

Absolutely. There are several areas within the journey of your online order where we can assist. The first step is to track your package using your supplier-provided tracking number using our website here. If the package has been received at an eZHub, you will see the eZone unique airway bill number (AWB), and the status within our custody. If the package does not show up as received in our system, it is most likely that the cargo is still in the custody of the supplier’s courier. When this is the case, we recommend you check with that courier or your supplier for further information regarding the package.

Exception emails are a flag that something requires your attention. When you receive this email notification, we recommend you contact your local agent to expedite any action that may be required on your part. Exceptions may be due to the receipt of damaged or incomplete cargo, and cargo requiring extra handling or special certification.

Make sure your supplier has provided you any necessary return authorization (RA) code and/or labels for us to use when fulfilling your request to return the item. Please note, unless provided with a pre-paid label/call-tag, you will be responsible for the return shipping costs.

What If

If cargo being received in our eZHub is found damaged during screening, the cargo will be placed on hold, an exception email will automatically be sent to the main email of record, pictures of the damage will be taken, and a detailed email will be sent with this information to the local agent so they can get your instructions for handling.

If the damage is not present until you receive your cargo in-country, don’t worry – you have eZCare insurance. Contact your local agent immediately to work with you in establishing a claim.

We hope that you don’t experience this situation, and are confident that you have provided your supplier the correct addressing information. Both your local agent and the customer service staff of our eZHub will work diligently to locate your cargo. We will identify the chain of custody and do our best to retrieve your cargo. If, on the off chance that the cargo is truly lost, remember that we offer eZCare insurance to cover 150% of the value of your cargo.

No. As a forwarder, regulated by the TSA, we are not set up for this service.

Your first option is to contact the supplier for a return. If a return is not an option, we can forward the cargo to another domestic address for a fee, or we can dispose of the item for you.

When a television arrives in the eZHub with a 30 inch screen or larger, the cargo is marked as “White Glove Service” and an exception email is automatically sent to the main email of record. White Glove service is where your TV is removed from its packaging, inspected for damages and plugged in to ensure it is in working condition. Finally it is placed back in its original packaging which is then placed inside of another box for an additional layer of security. A detailed email is sent to the local agent with a quote for the service, (starting at $35), so the agent can provide information to you and instructions to the eZHub on whether or not you would like this service performed.
