FAQ

We do ask all our customers to register as a customer before using our services. This minimises any chance of loss or error when processing and sending your parcels. It also allows you to be kept informed of your parcel’s status.

Upon registration you are sent an email with examples of how to address your parcels. This will ensure that all your orders make it to our warehouses. It also ensures we follow USA regulations for handling our customers post.

To set up an account, all you need to do is register online here. Alternatively, you can email us at: enquiries@ishop-worldwide.com, or call us or our representative in your country and we can assist you, or even sign you up while you are on the phone.

In regards to addresses, if the supplier or store is based in the UK, use your UK iShop address. If the supplier is based in the USA, use the USA iShop address. If you order from a USA store and have your parcels delivered to the UK address or vice versa, it is likely that UK or USA customs will charge you additional Import duty. It will also cause a delay in transit time to receiving your parcel.

1. Airline Security. We need to ensure what we are sending is safe to travel by air. This is the most important reason why your parcel is opened and inspected.

2. We need to inform you of what we have received and the only way to do that is to see what is inside your parcel.

3. We open and log the description in your account, so you know what has arrived.

4. Customs require a detailed list, with description and value of goods being exported and imported in countries.

There could be a number of reasons why your parcel is not appearing in your account. Mostly this is due to us not having received your parcel from the supplier yet. If you contact the supplier, or check your online account with them, you will be able to view the local delivery status.

If you have confirmed your parcel has been delivered to us, please allow 24 – 48 hours for the parcel to be registered against your account. If by then you still have not received an email with confirmation of receipt from us, then please contact your local office for an update quoting the origin delivery agents tracking number, and your customer number. We will locate the parcel and get back to you with our findings as soon as possible.
