Service charges explanation

Membership fee: Recurring fees for our PREMIUM (Package & Mail) or DISTRIBUTOR (Package & Mail) accounts, charged monthly or annually.

Shared Member fees: The membership fees are added to your account to allow you to receive packages addressed to a name other than the account holder’s name. This service is primarily for members who want to allow account sharing with friends and family residing at the same address.

*For Distributor membership, a $5/shared member fee is applied if OPAS adds shared members on the customer’s behalf.

Inspection: OPAS checks all incoming packages to make sure if the item has damage and the piece count matches the declaration. If you need to have items checked closely to make sure they match the declaration exactly, please request an inspection. Inspection may include color/size/product number matching, price tag removal, content split between packages, or other special requests. Please include special instructions when sending, or contact us with any questions about the inspection services we provide. The inspection fee may increase depending on the tasks you request us to perform.

Discard/Shred: Allow disposal of unwanted packages or mail. For letters with sensitive information, we recommend selecting shred to ensure complete destruction of all details.

Alternate Address fee: If you use OPAS’ Alternate Address service (details available inside your account) there will be an added $15.00 per package charge applied.

Pick-up Handling fee: This charge is applied if you make contact with OPAS to collect your packages from our U.S. facility directly. The account holder is the only person who can pick up the packages. Government-issued ID is required.

Return Handling fee: If the merchant provides prepaid postage or shipping labels, we charge a $10.00 handling fee. If the merchant doesn’t provide prepaid postage or shipping labels, we charge our base domestic rates for return, but no added service fee.

If you have any questions regarding our rates, please contact Customer Service.
