🎄🎄 Holiday Shipping Tip: For those who send INTERNATIONAL PACKAGES (at holidays or other times):
Many countries are now requiring a Tax ID # and phone number for the receiver. You need to have this before we can process a package. Your receiver will know what this is! This is not a social security number.
Also keep in mind that while Tariffs have always been in effect, the current fluctuations may cause a jump in shipping prices or higher duties to be paid upon the receipt of items from another country. Please make sure your recipients understand that. Keep this in mind when shopping for items that are coming from overseas as well.
You need to be aware of what is allowed into the country you are sending to. Many countries have restrictions as to what they allow, and sending restricted or forbidden items may cause your package to be undeliverable. (link in comments to check)
You will need to have all contents of package listed out BEFORE you come in, in order for us to process them. We still need to input it in our computer but we need you to have them itemized on a piece of paper.
Your list needs to be as specific as possible and include:
Value of entire package: ie... $100
Quantity of each item: 1 childrens book, 2 cans of starkist tuna, etc
Country of manufacturer: China, Indonesia, USA, etc
Weight (you can weigh it yourself or list what is on package)
Description: use 3 or more words ie: Barbie Doll-new, Men's blue jeans cotton new, canned tuna fish. etc.
Monetary Value of individual items: childrens book $3, 2 cans tuna $6
Requirements for declarations of goods are becoming stricter with more information needed, especially if you are shipping to the EU.
It will save a lot of time if you come prepared. If you don't have these items listed out, we may ask you to do that before we can process your package.
We do have forms here if you want to get some ahead of time.
