Made in Ecuador: How Our Products Arrive at Your Door

As of 2025, we ship exclusively with FedEx
At Ministry Ideaz, we put a lot of time and effort into making sure our shipping is both quick and affordable — no small feat when you're shipping from the heart of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador to friends around the world! Thankfully, it’s never been easier to get your order into your hands.

Direct from Us to You — with FedEx

We now ship everything directly with FedEx. That means no more middlemen, no more complicated handoffs — just fast, secure shipping straight from our shop to your door.* FedEx even includes photo proof upon delivery, so you’ll see exactly when and where your package arrived. 📦✨

📸 Cool Feature: FedEx now snaps a photo of your package when they drop it off — super handy if you’re wondering whether it made it to the right doorstep.

Handcrafted with Love, Then Sent on Its Way

Everything we make is carefully handcrafted right here in Ecuador — sewn and assembled by our faithful helpers using time-honored techniques. Once your item is finished, we pack it up with care and send it off to you via FedEx, ready for its journey to your home.

Want to see how it all comes together? Take a peek behind the scenes here: MinistryIdeaz.com/Handcrafted

✈️ Fun Fact: Your package’s journey might include planes, vans, and customs checkpoints — all in a matter of 3 business days!

Shipping Costs — What You're Really Paying For

Packages for shipment!

When calculating shipping, we factor in not just the FedEx fee but also the materials, handling, and export logistics from Ecuador. Thanks to our steeply discounted FedEx rates, you still get fast, reliable service without the steep international markup you'd expect elsewhere..

*Prior to 2025, we used a two-part system where we labeled packages in Ecuador and sent them in bulk to a freight forwarding company in the U.S. (LGA Mail Solutions), who would then inject them into the USPS system. While this helped save costs, it also caused delays and confusion. Now, with our new streamlined FedEx system, your order goes directly from Ecuador to your doorstep, cutting out the middleman and reducing issues dramatically.

    Thank You for all your hard work to get us all our stuff. Considering we are on the west coast USA, we still get it in reasonable time.

    Bonjour,
    Super votre site internet, j'aime beaucoup les articles que vous proposez. J'attends avec impatience la livraison de ma première commande. Pour la France les frais de port sont assez importants mais je ne doute pas que les couvertures de Bible feront un superbe cadeau.
    Merci beaucoup.

    It's been 18 days since I placed my order and I just now got a shipping confirmation. Why does it take so long to get an order of bookmarks in the mail?

      I receive the same email weekly for a couple of months. Even though I have nothing to be delivered. Delete it and don’t respond. It’s a scam.

      If you receive a suspicious email, do not respond or click a link. You can always contact the postal service directly. You order's tracking number can be found in your Ministry Ideaz order history. You are also welcome to contact us through our official support page.

    I had no idea shipping came all the way from Ecuador. I have ordered products in my husbands name several times in the past and always remarked on the quality. Bible covers are beautifully done! Great workmanship! Thank you so much for everything.
