Shipping & Delivery Policy

Dear Valued Customer,

Shipping from Nepal — a landlocked country nestled between India and China — involves specific logistics. We aim to make this process as clear and convenient as possible for our buyers. Please review the available shipping options below and choose what best fits your needs based on order volume, delivery urgency, and destination.

1. Courier Service

We work with global courier providers including FedEx, DHL, TNT, Aramex, UPS, USPS, and Skynet.

  • Estimated Delivery Time: 3 to 7 business days
  • Modes Available: Express or Economy
  • Recommended For: Small orders, samples, high-value, or time-sensitive items

Courier services also handle customs clearance on your behalf and deliver the parcel directly to your address. If any customs duties are applicable, the courier company will inform you of the charges and payment process.

2. Air Freight

Air freight is a reliable, cost-effective solution for larger orders.

  • Minimum Recommended Weight: 45 kg (economically better for 100 kg+)
  • Weight Consideration: Charged by actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher
  • Delivery Location: Nearest international airport
  • Customs Clearance: To be handled by the customer or their agent at the destination

Volumetric Weight Formula:

(Length cm × Width cm × Height cm) ÷ 6000 = Volumetric Weight (kg)

Air freight is ideal for bulk purchases where timely delivery and cost-efficiency are both important.

3. EMS or Registered Postal Service

This is a cost-effective method suitable for small and non-urgent packages.

  • Delivery Time: 1 to 4 weeks, depending on destination
  • Package Limit: Generally under 20 kg
  • Delivery Type: Doorstep delivery or nearest postal center (varies by country)

This option is best for small parcels or samples that do not require fast delivery.

4. Land-Sea Cargo

For large-volume shipments that are not time-sensitive, we offer land-sea cargo services via Indian seaports.

  • Transit Time: 40 to 75 days after dispatch from Kathmandu
  • Calculation Method: Based on volume (CBM), not weight
  • Delivery Location: Nearest seaport
  • Customs Clearance: To be arranged by the receiver or their local agent

CBM Calculation Formula:

(Length cm × Width cm × Height cm) ÷ 1,000,000 = CBM

Container Sizes Available:

  • 20-foot container: Approximately 33 CBM
  • 40-foot container: Approximately 67 CBM

This method is suitable for businesses importing large quantities of products at a lower cost per unit.
