We put a lot of time and effort into making sure our shipping times are fast and our shipping costs are reasonable. This is quite a feat for a small company shipping out of Ecuador to all over the world! As Ecuador is a developing country, this can prove a little more difficult than shipping locally within the United States. Affordable, reliable options here in Ecuador are limited.
Prelabeling with USPS right here in Quito |
Regarding delivery time
We have found that using a two-part system to get your package to you works the best. Packages are weighed and measured, and we can print out USPS postage online right here in Quito, Ecuador. Once the batch is ready, we ship it in a large box to a distribution center in New Jersey with a courier like UPS or FedEx. By the time your order arrives in New Jersey, about four to six days have passed. Once in New Jersey, our shipping partner (LGA) processes the batch of orders and delivers them to the local postal service of the destination country. This ensures your package is handled efficiently and reaches you as quickly as possible. This is why you may have seen a "USPS" label on your package. Perhaps you did not realize it was actually processed in Ecuador, where your order was handcrafted before starting its long journey to you.
Bulk shipping the USPS packages to Miami |
Regarding shipping costs
When we figure out the shipping costs that you need to pay, we need to take into account not only the shipping cost from USPS but also the cost to get your order to the USA with a courier such as UPS, or FedEx. We have used Ecuador Post in the past and found the shipping times to be three times as long, the costs more than double, and the tracking method not as reliable. Obviously, we ruled this out as an option.
Please enjoy this little video to see how it all comes together!
In addition, we have also negotiated competitive rates with couriers like UPS and FedEx. So you have the option of courier shipping that goes directly from us to you, as quickly as 4 days.

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.

DeleteBonjour,
ReplyDeleteSuper 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.
Magali
Merci pour votre commentaire. J'espère que vous aimez votre nouvelle couverture biblique.
DeleteThis is my first experience with you. Waiting for my items. I am sure that all the items will be first class.😊
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your order! :)
