Ordering From India: Shipping, Customs and Delivery Explained

Threading the Needles is based in Jaipur, India, and every order ships from there. If you are ordering from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia or Europe, this guide explains what happens after you check out.

1. Your order is prepared

Ready-to-ship orders are usually dispatched within 3–4 business days. Custom orders take 1–2 weeks to make before they ship.

2. You receive tracking

When the order leaves Jaipur, we email a tracking link so you can follow it to your door. Our Track Your Order page explains more.

3. Your parcel clears customs

International parcels pass through customs in the destination country. Customs duties, import taxes and clearance fees, where charged, are set by that country and are paid by the customer. They are not included in our prices or shipping cost. The amount depends on your country, the order value and the type of product.

Customs checks can add time to delivery, especially at busy times of year. Delivery estimates are in our shipping policy.

4. Your order arrives

Please check your parcel when it arrives. If anything is damaged or defective, email support@threadingtheneedles.com within 14 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the item and packaging. Our returns policy has the details.
