Does Amazon Ship To Slovenia? Yes, Here’s How

Does Amazon Ship To Slovenia?

Whether or not Amazon delivers to Slovenia depends.

On one hand, Amazon ships some items to Slovenia, including many clothing and home decor items.

But on the other hand, the infamous “This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location” message seems to be popping up more and more lately, especially when you try to buy more valuable products like cameras and electronics.

So the real answer is that Amazon ships some items to Slovenia, but not everything.

So in this post, I’m going to show you exactly how to get 100% of items sold on Amazon shipped to Slovenia. Here’s how to do it.

Method #1: Amazon’s International Page

You probably didn’t know that Amazon has a special search portal that only shows you items that can be shipped to your current address.

I link to it below.

But in order to make full use of that page, you first need to set up your “1-Click” address so Amazon knows what country you want to ship to. That’s the only way to ensure you get relevant search results. 

To do that, go to this page, make sure your current address is listed as your default address, and enable 1-Click on the right side.

Then you’re all set!

Now when you go back and search for what you want to buy, you’ll only see items that ship to your current address. If whatever you want to buy still won’t ship to you, you need Method #2.

Method #2: Shipping Amazon Items To Slovenia Using A Package Forwarder

Even after you set up your 1-Click address (see Method #1 above), Amazon still won’t ship a lot of items to you in Slovenia, because they only ship them within the United States. It’s notoriously difficult to buy electronics from Amazon.com in Slovenia, but even harmless items like books can be hard to get, too.

In those cases, you’ll need to work with a package forwarder, a company that will accept your package in the United States and forward it on to your address in Slovenia. Here’s how do do it.

Step 1: Choose A Package Forwarder

Choosing the right package forwarder is important, because the package forwarder you use determines how quickly you’ll receive your order and how expensive the shipping is. I spent hours researching fourteen of the best package forwarders and scored each of them on a variety of metrics. Here are the five primary metrics I looked at:

1. Service Fees: How much they charge to accept and ship packages, including additional services like long-term storage, re-packing, package consolidation, and more.
2. Monthly Fees: How much they charge in monthly fees, if anything.
3. Pricing Transparency: How much they share about their shipping prices before I send my order to their warehouse.
4. Speed: How quickly they process and ship out packages.
5. Customer Service: How satisfied other users are with their service, and how quickly/thoroughly they respond to questions.

After reviewing the data, it was clear that Planet Express was the best package forwarder for my needs. Their customer service team responded to my questions quickly, they have thousands of 5-star reviews online, and their fees were consistently lower than the other package forwarders I researched.

Here are a few other things I like about Planet Express:

• Planet Express has a tax-free warehouse in Oregon, so you can avoid paying sales tax on your purchases.
• Planet Express will consolidate multiple packages into a single shipment, significantly reducing shipping costs when you make multiple purchases.
• Planet Express sends you free photos of your package as soon as it arrives at their warehouse.
• Planet Express offers extremely cheap storage for your packages. Every package receives 10 days of free storage, but after that, Planet Express only charges one cent per pound per day. That means storing a 1-lb package in their warehouse for a month only costs $0.30!

Step 2: Ship Your Order To Planet Express 

After you sign up with Planet Express, you’ll receive a unique mailing address at their warehouse. When you go to make your purchase, then, you can just enter your Planet Express address instead of your home address as the shipping address.

If you’re not able to enter your home address as your credit card billing address, you should also be able to use your Planet Express warehouse address without any issues.

Step 3: Forward Your Package

As soon as your package arrives at Planet Express’ warehouse, they’ll send you photos of it to let you know it’s arrived. You’ll also be given a series of shipping options to choose from.

I find that there’s generally at least 4 shipping options corresponding to 4 different price-speed combinations. Sometimes there can be as many as 10+ shipping options—it just depends on the weight, size and value of your package.

You can choose whichever option you prefer and have your package sent out the same day.

My Personal Experience With Planet Express

I’ve used Planet Express more than a dozen times to ship packages to different parts of the world, and the experience has always been very smooth. Here’s how things went the last time I did it.

First, I placed my order and had it sent to my unique address at the Planet Express warehouse. Less than 48 hours later, I received an email from Planet Express letting me know that my order had arrived.

Second, I filled in Planet Express’ super-easy customs declaration form with the four pieces of information required:

1. The item being shipped
2. The number of items being shipped
3. The value of the item
4. Whether the item contains batteries

Third, I chose the shipping option I wanted from a list of eight options. Prices ranged from $6-$35 USD, plus insurance at an additional $2 USD, so I chose the cheapest option ($8 USD, including the insurance), and I was done. My package was shipped out the same day, and when it arrived, everything was in perfect shape.

The Costs (Customs & Duties)

In my experience, the price I paid ($6 USD + $2 USD in insurance) is pretty standard for shipping packages from Planet Express to Slovenia. I didn’t have to pay any customs or duties on my order, but that depends on the value and type of item you buy.

If you’re uneasy about how much you’ll have to pay to have your order shipped to Slovenia, I suggest using Planet Express’ shipping calculator to help you estimate the cost.

In Summary

Overall, shipping Amazon items to Slovenia using Planet Express is surprisingly easy and smooth. The costs are low, and in my experience you’ll actually end up saving money, since Amazon’s prices are often much lower than those of local retailers in Slovenia.

If you’re shopping on Amazon.com, or any other retailer that only ships to the USA, I strongly recommend Planet Express.
