How to Ship a Package Internationally – Hints and Tips from Fox’s Pacier Sprints
Is the parcel allowed in the destination country?
The most important thing you should check up on if you’re planning on sending a parcel overseas is that the items in the package are actually allowed in the destination country. Every country has their own set of terms and rules when it comes to receiving foreign parcels. Make sure you aren’t wasting your time! What is and what isn’t allowed in a country is usually on their official government or postal website. Of course, if you’re sending your parcel by courier, the courier company will inform you of that information!
Fox’s will ensure your international package reaches it’s destination.
What are the contact details of the recipient?
Another thing to remember to include with the address of the receiver of the parcel, is their contact details. Something like their mobile number or email address is essential. If there is a problem or hold up at customs, gaining contact with the parcel receiver will be easy. It is also the case that a number of countries won’t let you deliver a package if there isn’t a phone number included in the delivery information. Make the whole shipping process much smoother by simply letting the courier know these additional details.
