International shipping can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re sending a package across borders for the first time. From understanding customs to choosing the right service, there are many factors to consider. At Gamana, we believe shipping should be simple, transparent, and stress-free. Whether you’re sending a heartfelt gift to a loved one or a critical business shipment, this beginner’s guide covers everything you need to know to ship with confidence.
International shipping involves sending packages from one country to another, often across continents. It requires careful planning to navigate customs regulations, shipping costs, and delivery timelines. With Gamana, you get a seamless process designed to make global shipping as easy as sending a package locally.
Gamana’s streamlined process simplifies international shipping into four easy steps. Here’s how it works:
Start by getting a clear, upfront price estimate. At Gamana, our Get a Quote feature lets you input your package’s weight, dimensions, and destination to receive an instant quote. No hidden fees—just transparent pricing that includes all standard costs.
Tip: To save money, consolidate multiple items into one package when possible, as shipping rates depend on weight and size.
Choose the option that suits you best:
Tip: For valuable items, consider adding optional insurance during booking for added peace of mind.
Stay informed every step of the way. Once your package is on its journey, use the tracking number provided in your confirmation email. Enter it on our Track Your Shipment page for real-time updates on your package’s location and estimated delivery date.
Tip: Save your tracking number in a secure place to easily monitor your shipment from any device.
Gamana ensures timely and secure delivery to your destination. Our team coordinates with global partners to navigate customs and deliver your package in its best condition. With optional insurance, you can ship with confidence, knowing your items are protected.
Tip: Check the recipient’s availability at the delivery address to avoid delays, or contact our 24/7 support team for assistance.
Customs duties and taxes are charges imposed by the destination country and are not included in Gamana’s shipping costs. These vary based on the package’s contents and value. We provide upfront estimates of potential charges to keep you informed, but the recipient is responsible for paying them upon delivery.
Example: Sending electronics or exclusive medicines may incur higher duties, so declare items accurately to avoid surprises.
Not everything can be shipped internationally. Regulatory authorities, like the International Air Transport Association (IATA), prohibit items such as:
Check Gamana’s Prohibited Items List before shipping. Medicines can be sent with a registered doctor’s prescription as separately boxed items.
