Made in Ecuador: From Our Workshop to You

Handmade in Ecuador

At Ministry Ideaz, we’re always working to make shipping both quick and affordable - no small feat when you’re shipping from the Andes Mountains of Ecuador to friends around the world! Today we’re excited to share an update on how shipping works now, and how you can choose the option that fits you best.

Option 1: FedEx - Direct and Fast

If you want the quickest route, FedEx delivers door-to-door from Ecuador straight to your address. No handoffs, no transfers - just one streamlined path from our shop to your home.

📸 Helpful feature: FedEx provides photo proof of delivery, so you can see exactly where your package was placed.

Option 2: Standard Shipping - Save on Costs

If you’re looking to save on shipping, Standard Shipping is a great choice. This option uses a two-step process:

1. Your order travels from Ecuador to the United States.
2. Once it arrives at our U.S. distribution point, it is entered into the USPS system for final delivery.

💰 How this saves you money: By moving shipments in consolidated batches before entering USPS, we’re able to reduce international shipping expenses - and pass those savings on to you.

📦 A quick note about tracking: With Standard Shipping, USPS tracking may not show movement right away. Tracking updates begin once the package is processed at the U.S. facility, even though it has already left Ecuador.

Why We Offer Both

Every customer’s situation is different. Some need their order as quickly as possible. Others prefer the most economical option. By offering both FedEx and Standard Shipping, you can choose what matters most for your situation - speed or savings.

Handcrafted in Ecuador - Packed With Care

Before it ever boards a plane, your item is carefully handcrafted right here in Ecuador — stitched, assembled, and inspected by hand.

✈️ Fun fact: Your package’s trip may include planes, vans, and customs checkpoints - sometimes all in just a few days.

The Bottom Line

Whether your package flies straight to your door with FedEx or travels the cost-saving Standard route before entering USPS, the goal is the same: getting your order safely into your hands.

Thanks for supporting our little shop in Ecuador. We really hope the products you chose add something special to your ministry and meeting life.
