How Can I Get BCW Products Outside of the USA Without High Shipping Expenses?

Posted on by

BCW Supplies ships parcels and freight orders from our Indiana warehouse using trusted carriers like UPS, FedEx, and various freight companies. This allows us to offer competitive shipping rates within the 48 contiguous United States—and for larger orders, we even provide Free Shipping (see our Free Shipping page for full details).

However, Free Shipping does not apply to orders shipped outside the contiguous U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, and international destinations. Because international shipping costs are often significantly higher, we understand that this can be a barrier for customers located outside the U.S. Thankfully, there are alternative ways to purchase BCW products that can reduce these shipping costs.

Option 1: Buy Direct from BCW

International customers are welcome to place orders directly on our website. During checkout, our system will calculate the shipping charges for most international addresses. If you’re willing to pay standard international rates, this is the fastest and most direct way to get BCW products.

Option 2: Purchase Through Our International Distributors

To help lower shipping expenses, many international customers choose to buy BCW products through our authorized distributors. These companies are located in various countries and offer regional access to BCW products—sometimes with lower shipping fees or faster delivery.

Each distributor operates independently, so their business models may vary:

  • Some distributors sell directly to consumers
  • Others only sell to retail stores
  • A few serve both consumer and retail markets

For example, in Canada, our distributors Grosnor and Dynamic supply only to retailers. If you’re a Canadian collector, you can request your local hobby shop to stock the BCW items you’re looking for. The store can order directly from one of these distributors, helping you avoid international shipping charges. While this process may take a bit longer than ordering from our website, it can significantly reduce your total costs.

To find a distributor that serves your area—and to learn if they sell directly to consumers—please refer to our BCW Distributor List.

Option 3: Use a Freight Forwarding Service

Another solution for international orders—especially large ones—is to use a freight forwarding service. This is particularly useful for wholesale customers.

Here’s how it works:

  • Place a large order on our website and choose a U.S.-based freight forwarder as your delivery address.
  • If your order qualifies for Free Shipping, we’ll deliver it to the freight forwarder at no charge.
  • From there, the freight forwarder arranges international shipping to your location.

For instance, a wholesale customer in Singapore might have a freight forwarder in California receive their pallet. BCW handles shipping to the California address, and the freight company takes over from there. Many of our international customers already use this method to efficiently manage shipping costs for bulk orders.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re a collector placing a small order or a retailer sourcing bulk inventory, BCW offers multiple ways to get our products internationally. From direct online ordering to regional distributors and freight forwarding services, there’s a solution that can meet your needs and help you save on shipping.

If you have any questions about the best option for your location, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

      • No tenemos minoristas en El Salvador que tengan Páginas de Divisas en el inventario. Puede ordenar directamente desde bcwsupplies.com, pero el precio de envío será excesivo. Puede visitar una de las tiendas de pasatiempos de El Salvador y solicitar las páginas de moneda BCW (1-PRO3C-100 y 1-PRO4C-100), pero ese proceso llevará más tiempo. Gracias.

        Minoristas:
        The Magic Armory
        Yugihouse
        Ekverse
        Dragon & Magic
        Geek Brothers
        The Freaky Store

  5. Hello, I’m having serious problems buying your products from the EU!
    I just need to buy 10 or 20 pages for 3 ring binders with 20 pockets and it’s literally impossible for a sensible price. I’ve checked all your European distributors and either 1) they don’t have it 2) they have it but they don’t sell to customers.
    I really want to buy your products but it’s impossible! Can’t you just put your items on Italian amazon?
    There must be whole continents that are just not allowed to buy your products…

    • I believe the best solution for you is to request what you want from https://tracenchase.com/contact/ . They can import the item on their next order from BCW. This process may take more time, but will minimize the shipping expenses, as compared to ordering directly from BCW Supplies. Thanks

  6. I am in NZ. New Zealand or Australia (comic, print, magazine bags/sleeves)?
    Can someone add print sleeves, treasury and life magazine bags to Amazon.com.au

    • Si solicita inventario en existencia, los pedidos pequeños se envían en unos pocos días, aproximadamente 3 días actualmente. Enviamos desde Indiana, por lo que la entrega demora aproximadamente 2 días a través de UPS o FedEx para llegar a Miami. Después de que se envíe un pedido, la información de seguimiento se enviará a su correo electrónico. Gracias

  12. hello 👋
    I’ve recently fallen in love with your prime x4 XL boxes, they used to be available on Amazon here in the UK but have been unavailable for a long while now.
    Do you know of anywhere in the UK that stock it specifically? I’ve had a look at a few of the distributors but none stock the XL
    thank you!

    • Unfortunately, I don’t know of any shops that carry it specifically. I’ve checked for customers in a few cities but had no success.
