DELIVERY
Diwali, the festival of lights, is the perfect time to share joy and connect with loved ones, no matter where they are. Sending gifts and traditional Diwali Faral overseas can bring family and friends closer, even across borders. With the right planning, your gifts can arrive on time and in perfect condition. Follow these 7 essential tips to ensure fast, hassle-free delivery.
- Choose a Reliable Courier Service
The courier you choose can make or break the delivery experience. Opt for a trusted international courier with fast delivery options and tracking services. Many companies offer express shipping to popular destinations such as the USA, UK, Canada, Dubai, Germany and Australia during the festive season.
Pro tip: Look for courier service providers offering discounts on international shipping for Diwali.
- Check Shipping Deadlines
Shipping companies are busier than usual during Diwali, so plan. Send your gifts at least 1-2 weeks in advance to avoid delays. While booking, check for all available shipping options and their regular transit times. Express shipping services can be a lifesaver for last-minute shoppers.
- Understand Customs Rules and Documentation
Each country has specific regulations regarding what can be exported and imported. Sweets, snacks and homemade faral are often allowed, but it is essential to check the customs rules for your destination country to avoid issues.
Pro tip: Properly declare food items on customs forms/ invoice to ensure a smooth clearance process.
- Send Traditional Food Items
Nothing says Diwali like sweets, snacks and faral. Many courier services now offer specialized shipping services for food items, ensuring they arrive fresh and intact. You can send homemade treats to more than 194 countries worldwide, including Ireland, Italy, Germany, Hong Kong, France, the Netherlands, Malaysia and Singapore.
- Select Lightweight and Easy-to-Ship Gifts
For cost-effective shipping, choose lightweight items such as decorative diyas, jewellery or light Faral. Compact packaging of these items not only saves space but also reduces shipping costs.
- Secure Packaging for Fragile Items
Use bubble wrap, sturdy boxes and additional padding to ensure delicate items arrive safely. Add “Fragile” labels to protect your gifts during handling. If you’re shipping food items, ensure they are properly sealed to maintain freshness.
- Use Tracking Services for Peace of Mind
Most international couriers provide tracking numbers so you and the recipient can monitor the delivery status. Some also offer real-time SMS or email alerts, ensuring transparency at every stage of the journey.
