What Should Be Considered for International Shipping?

For international shipments, delivery times may vary depending on the destination country, region, carrier, local delivery network, and customs processes. Sellers should consider these factors when sharing estimated delivery information with their customers.

Customs procedures, local holidays, regional shipping volume, and carrier operations in the buyer’s country may affect the delivery time. For this reason, international order delivery times may differ from country to country.

Etsy international orders automatically include the tax information paid by the customer during checkout, such as VAT/IOSS numbers when applicable. These details are transferred to Podbul together with the order information and help ensure that the required tax and customs information is processed correctly during international shipping.

Providing customers with a tracking number helps create a more transparent and trustworthy shipping experience. Sellers can guide their customers about shipment tracking and possible customs processes in a polite, clear, and informative way.
