Take&Ship Shipping Terms & Important Guidelines

When shopping internationally using Take&Ship, it’s essential to understand the shipping terms and your responsibilities as a receiver.

📦 Delivery Terms – DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid)

Take&Ship operates under Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) terms.

What This Means for You:

  • 💰 Import duties and taxes are NOT included in shipping fees
  • 🧾 You (the receiver) are responsible for paying customs charges
  • 🛃 Customs clearance must be handled by the recipient

🛃 Customs Clearance Responsibility

If your shipment is held by customs:

  • 📍 The receiver must manage the clearance process
  • 📄 You may need to provide:
    • Invoice
    • ID or tax number
    • Additional documents requested by customs

⚠️ Important Notice

  • Take&Ship is not responsible for:
    • Customs clearance procedures
    • Customs delays
    • Government inspections

⏱️ Transit Time & Delays

While Take&Ship ensures fast processing and dispatch:

  • 🚚 Delivery times may vary due to:
    • Customs inspections
    • Airline or logistics delays

⚖️ Understanding DIM (Dimensional Weight) Formula

Shipping costs are calculated based on the higher of actual weight or volumetric (DIM) weight.

📐 DIM Weight Formula:

📦 Example:

  • Package size: 50 × 40 × 30 cm
  • DIM weight = (50×40×30) / 5000 = 12 kg

👉 If actual weight = 8 kg → You will be charged for 12 kg

💡 Why This Matters

  • Large but lightweight packages may cost more
  • Efficient packaging helps reduce shipping fees

📏 Actual vs Volumetric Weight

⚖️ Type 📦 Description
Actual Weight Real physical weight of the package
Volumetric Weight Space the package occupies in transit

👉 Couriers always charge the higher value

📍 Remote Area Delivery & ZIP Code Check

Some delivery locations are considered remote areas by courier companies.

🚧 What to Expect:

  • 🚚 Additional remote area delivery fees
  • ⏳ Longer delivery times
  • 📍 Limited courier access

✅ Pro Tip

Always:

  • Check your ZIP/postal code before shipping
  • Confirm remote area status with the courier or Take&Ship support

⚠️ Important Reminder

  • 📦 Ensure accurate address details
  • 📍 Incorrect ZIP codes may cause delays or extra charges
