Mainly driven by the lack of shopping tourism opportunities due to travel restrictions, and increased confidence in ecommerce, consumers are looking for novel ways to obtain the latest trending pieces or technologies from abroad without getting on a plane, a market gap that UGotBox aims to capture.

Aiming to meet the significant jump in demand for cross-border ecommerce and international goods, UGotBox provides Egyptians with a one-stop-shop solution for shopping and shipping from international online stores, including Amazon and eBay.

Unlocking some of the largest international selections and platforms to local consumers, the Egypt Post-owned company is looking to transform cross-border shopping, offering a new cost-efficient and hassle-free way to shop from abroad with their distinctive shipping model.

Introducing a “one-box” model, UGotBox allows users to select items from several popular US-based online platforms and retailers before placing them in the same shipment, helping reduce up to 80% of additional shipping fees and charges alongside customs clearance support.

The company does this by providing a tax-free US shipping address when users create an account, which acts as a storage unit until users have completed their shopping. Users are given 30 days of free storage, and can use the address to ship personal items as well.

Backed by the Egypt Post Office, the country’s most credible shipping entity, Eglobal’s UGotBox focuses on transparency and customer satisfaction, with shipping fees included upfront at checkout, thorough FAQs, and strong customer service.

Users can estimate final international shipping rates through UGotBox’s shipping calculator on its website. Users can also contact the company’s customer service hotline for inquiries on customs clearance fees and other possible fees.

The inaugural project of Eglobal, Egypt Post’s ecommerce arm, UGotBox seeks to expand its service to include other markets beyond the US to enable consumers to shop around the world from the comfort of their homes.
