Choosing a forwarder for Nepal, answered

What is the best package forwarder for Nepal?+
It depends on how you shop. If you want to pay in NPR with customs duty settled in one upfront quote, iWishBag is built for exactly that. If you shop US stores yourself with a working international card, MyUS, Planet Express or Global Shopaholics forward cheaply from a US address. For Japanese auctions and Mercari, Buyee or ZenMarket are the specialists.
Do package forwarders include Nepali customs duty?+
Most do not. US mailbox forwarders (MyUS, Planet Express, Global Shopaholics, Shipito) and Japan proxies (Buyee, ZenMarket) quote shipping only — Nepal assesses duty when the parcel arrives, since there is no de-minimis exemption. iWishBag includes the estimated duty in the upfront quote; Ubuy bakes costs into its catalog price.
Can I use a package forwarder without an international card?+
With most US forwarders you need a card that works on the store plus one for their fees; assisted-purchase services (typically ~5% of item cost) still settle by card or PayPal. iWishBag takes eSewa, Khalti, Fonepay and bank transfer in NPR, which is the main reason shoppers without international cards use it.
How long does forwarding to Nepal take?+
Express courier lanes (DHL/FedEx via a US forwarder) typically reach Kathmandu in about 4-7 business days after dispatch, with customs clearance on top. Consolidated air freight is slower but cheaper. Whatever the lane, budget for clearance time — every parcel entering Nepal is assessed.
