International orders
It is important to note that import fees and duties will impact the final cost of shipping internationally, and these fees are the responsibility of the recipient.
When shipping a wedding dress, it is crucial to select the right size box. The box should fit the gown without much extra space to avoid unnecessary weight charges. A sturdy box is essential, and it is recommended to place the dress box inside a larger box for added protection. Seal the box with thick adhesive tape, and mark it with the words "WEDDING GOWN" to ensure careful handling.
Additionally, insurance is highly recommended when shipping internationally. This will protect you in case the dress is damaged or lost during transit. The insurance value should be the final price paid for the dress, including any alterations.
To ensure a safe delivery, obtain tracking information and monitor the status regularly. It is also important to allow ample time for shipping and to not send the gown at the last minute.
