How to use the Ocean Shipping service?

If you already have an e-box (formerly Shop & Ship) shipping account, you will use the same CBY# assigned to you for Ocean Shipping. If you have not previously registered with us, please click here to create an e-box account.

Place your orders with your vendor using the shipping address provided below.

Once the vendor has notified you that your order has shipped and has provided you with a tracking number, you should pre-alert us that your order is on its way and upload the invoice which is required for Customs clearance. To do this, please click on the “Ocean Ship Pre-Alert” button at the top of this section. You will need to log in to a gmail account to use this form to upload an invoice. If you do not have a gmail account, please create one to use this form. Doing so does not change your default email address with Mail Boxes Etc.

If you are unable to use the Ocean Pre-alert form to expedite your shipping, you may manually pre-alert your orders by email to oceanship@mbe.ky. You must include the mandatory tracking number and the invoice. Only one invoice per email please

A Mail Boxes Etc. associate will notify you to confirm that we have received your goods in Miami. If you do not receive this notification when expected, please contact us.

IMPORTANT: Be mindful that the address in Miami for e-box air shipping is different than the address for ocean shipping.
