Anyone who wants to shop from Indian sites faces many problems. With Shoppre, you can easily shop from one or two or more Indian websites and ship your order to your country within 3-10 working days at the most affordable rates and amazing discounts.Recently, a customer from Ohio, USA, reached out to us to ship their orders from two websites. They were worried about the hefty international charges, delivery time and product damage during transit as they had two separate orders in two packages.Look how we helped them save on shipping and safely delivered their orders from two Indian shopping sites to their doorsteps in Ohio, USA.
Order Placement
The first thing the customer did was sign up at Shoppre.com to receive a free Indian virtual shipping address. Customers can use this address while placing orders on any Indian shopping site. With this, their orders reach our warehouse, where we ship them to their destination abroad.
Hence, the customer placed two orders for the following items:
1. Fossil Men Brown Analogue Watch from Myntra
2. Relaxed Fit Hoodie from H&M
Order Storage and Delivery
Indian sites usually takes up to 3-7 days to deliver orders in India, so we received the orders from Myntra and H&M on time. Once we receive the order at our warehouse, we store them until the complete order is received. Hence, we kept the order in their FREE locker storage facility for four days. Every customer who signs up at Shoppre.com get 20 days of FREE personal locker storage.
The Shoppre locker is optimal when you have multiple orders from different websites. We store them safely in your locker and wait for all the items to arrive.
Package Charges
Customers can opt for the ‘view photo’ option if they wish to inspect the order we have received at the warehouse before the further procedure. Some even choose to return or exchange products if the products are not up to the mark. Customers can also increase the locker storage facility at additional costs. In this case, the customer did not opt for any such service.
Other Service
We provide express processing service for those who wish to fasten the whole shipping process and receive the items at the earliest. The other services we offer include extra packaging material, a gift note, gift wrap, and the removal of a shoe box. The customer chose to add a gift note and a gift wrap to their order for ₹50 and ₹100, respectively.
Ship Request
After we received both products, we created a payment link and sent it to the customer on 8 November. The customer requested us to ship the items by creating a ‘ship request’ after completing the payment.
Total Weight
The secret to fewer shipping charges is our consolidation and repackaging service. We consolidate and repackage the items into one box to reduce the hassle of shipping and the shipping rate. After consolidating and repackaging, we measure the weight of the package. While calculating the weight and shipping cost, we consider the higher of the two- volumetric and actual weight. In this case, the volumetric weight of the package, 2kg, was higher.
Total Shipping Cost
The total package level charges came out to be ₹200. It included ₹100 for gift wrap, ₹50 for gift note and ₹50 for consolidation and repackaging. There were no photo charges or express processing fees. The total shipping cost came out to be ₹6146. We applied a special country shipping discount for the USA of ₹3073 and the first-time shipping discount of ₹200. Hence, the final shipping cost was ₹3073.
Savings
If the customer had chosen to ship the items individually without consolidation and repackaging service, it would have cost them ₹4870. We helped them save 37% on international shipping charges from India to the USA without additional customs duties.
Final Delivery
As soon as the customer made the payment, we handed over the package to our courier partner, DHL, on 8 November 2022. The package reached Columbus-west, Ohio, USA, in just three days. There were no challenges during the shipping, and the whole process was smooth.
