What's Repackaging ?

Repackaging is a service that Yollando provides where we can combine the packages that have arrived to your Yollando address from different stores into one package and/or reduce the size of the package whenever possible to save more on shipping costs.

How can I ask for my packages to be Repackaged?

“After all the packages you’re expecting are delivered and added to your account, you can:
– Go to “”My packages”” in your account, go to “”inbox”” section, and select the packages you want to repack together.
– Click on “”Repackaging”” and approve the request to complete the process.
– Our team will inform you by email after your repackaging request is completed and the package with the new weight is ready to be send.”

What’s Auto-rescale ?

With this service once you have a package delivered to us your packages are put automatically without any request in smaller packaging whenever possible.

What's the difference between Repackaging and Auto-rescale ?

Repackaging is done from your side after the packages are delivered to us and added to your account. While auto-rescaling is a setting that should be requested before the package is delivered to us so we’re notified that any package that comes under your name should be Auto-rescaled. Once you have auto-rescale activated it will be applied for all incoming packages automatically.

How much does the Auto-rescale cost?

“Repackaging costs 1.5 USD per package for Basic accounts and 1 USD for Premium accounts.

Auto Rescale:
– The cost of removing the products from their original packaging and placing them in a bag or other suitable packaging is USD 2
– The cost of removing the shoes from their boxes and placing them in a bag or other suitable packaging is USD 2


How to ask for my Packages to be Auto-rescaled?

“You can do that by going to My Profile (by clicking your name from your account) > Package Settings > choose Unbox packages if possible (2.00 $)
or Take the shoes out of their boxes. (2.00 $)”

What's better for me: Repackaging or Autorescale?

“The cost calculation depends on the specific packages you’re ordering. To determine the most cost-effective option, you should consider the price per package in both scenarios.

If you are expecting to receive just one package and you want that it proceeds immidiately, we recommend that you activate auto-rescale. This way, when the package arrives at our facility, we will repackage it in the smallest possible state without any other request from you side. This can help you saving time and shipping costs.”
