ACCOUNT

Account & Purchases

01What is Progress Delivery and who is it for?

Progress Delivery is a forwarding and assisted-purchase platform for customers who buy goods online and need reliable international delivery.

02How do I create an account?

Registration is free. Complete sign-up, verify your email, and add a valid shipping address in your profile before placing your first request.

03Can you buy from stores outside the US?

Yes. Use an assisted request or Shopper request in the country where the store operates, and include direct product links and order details.

04Is there a limit on items per request?

There is no strict platform-wide cap, but very large orders may be split into separate requests for processing and risk control.

05Can you consolidate and repack my parcels?

Yes. We can combine multiple incoming parcels and repack them into a smaller box when possible to reduce shipping cost while keeping items protected.

06What are customs value and insurance value?

Customs value is used by destination customs to assess duties. Insurance value is the maximum reimbursable amount for insured loss or damage. These declared values must match.

PAYMENTS

Payments

07Which payment methods are accepted?

Depending on country and account status, available methods may include card payments, PayPal, cryptocurrency, and bank wire transfer.

08Are there hidden fees?

No hidden charges. Service and shipment fees are shown before confirmation, and any additional carrier or banking fees are indicated in the flow.

09How long does payment processing take?

Card, PayPal, and crypto payments are usually posted quickly, while bank wire transfers normally require about 5-7 business days.

10Why is my card payment rejected?

Most declines come from bank-side security checks, international payment restrictions, or billing address mismatch. Verify details and contact your card issuer first.

11My deposit is not visible yet. What should I do?

Please allow up to 24 hours for posting in edge cases. If it still does not appear, open a support ticket and attach transaction details.

12Do I need to deposit funds before parcel arrival?

Not required. You can add funds when your parcel arrives and you are ready to create the outbound shipment.

SHIPPING

Shipping & Tracking

13How is my shipping cost calculated?

Final price depends on destination, selected carrier, parcel weight and dimensions, plus declared value. You can estimate it in the shipping calculator.

14Why do I see fewer delivery methods in checkout than in calculator?

Method availability is validated against the specific parcel at checkout. Size, weight, declared value, or destination rules can block some options.

15When will my shipment leave the warehouse?

Most outbound requests are processed within 1-2 business days. Cutoffs, weekends, carrier pickups, and holidays can affect final dispatch timing.

16Can I use my own prepaid label or carrier account?

Personal labels and third-party shipper accounts are not accepted for regular outbound shipping. Prepaid labels are supported only for merchant returns.

17How can I track my sent package?

Open your account, go to sent shipments, and follow the tracking link for each parcel. Tracking support depth depends on the chosen carrier service.

18Why has my tracking not updated yet?

Some routes update only after handoff between hubs or after arrival in destination country. If status is frozen too long, contact support at [email protected].

CLAIMS

Claims & Insurance

19How do I report loss, damage, or non-delivery?

Log in, open the shipment record, and submit a support ticket with order details and supporting photos. Our claims team will guide the next steps.

20What if I received the wrong parcel?

Open a support ticket immediately and attach label and contents photos. We will verify the case and provide return or correction instructions.

21What happens if a parcel is lost in warehouse?

We run an internal search first. If not found, a claim process starts and reimbursement is based on declared value and confirmed purchase proof.

22How do I make sure my shipment is insured?

Select insurance at mail-out checkout. Without an explicit insurance selection, compensation options may be limited.

23When can I file an insurance claim?

Deadlines vary by carrier: damaged or missing contents are usually reported within 10 days after delivery; lost-transit windows are carrier-specific and can range from 30 to 120 business days.

24Which documents are required for a claim?

Usually seller invoice/receipt, tracking reference, and photos of outer and inner packaging. In some postal cases, a local carrier/post office report is also required.

RETURNS

Returns & Support

25How do I return an item to the seller?

Check the store return policy first. Then create a return request from your account and follow the workflow for prepaid label or paid return shipment.

26How do I request a refund of account balance?

Go to account settings and submit a refund request. All active parcels must be processed before refund approval.

27How will I receive my refund and how long does it take?

Refunds are sent to the original payment method when possible. Internal processing usually takes 2-3 business days; card reversals may take additional bank time.

28Do you ship perfume and similar restricted goods?

Yes, but only to supported destinations and carriers. Perfume is treated as dangerous goods, so extra restrictions, surcharges, and quantity limits apply.

29I am a retailer and suspect fraudulent activity. Can you assist?

Yes. Contact our risk team through support with shipment and transaction details. We treat fraud reports with priority and follow a zero-tolerance process.

30How can I contact customer support quickly?

The fastest route is a support ticket from your account. You can also reach us by email: [email protected].
