Shipping rates, especially for international deliveries, may sometimes seem high or even exceed the value of the items in your order. At Fair Skin Experts, we strive to ensure reliable and efficient delivery, and here’s why shipping rates are structured the way they are.
1. Why shipping rates are high
-
Premium couriers:
- We use FedEx and DHL as our primary shipping carriers because of their speed, reliability, and expertise in handling regulated products like supplements and liquid cosmetics. These carriers have consistently high delivery success rates, making them the best option for our customers.
-
No markup on shipping fees:
- The shipping fees you pay are exactly what FedEx or DHL charges us. We do not add extra costs to the shipping rates.
-
Secure packaging and compliance:
- Shipping fees also cover specialized packaging to protect delicate items during transit and ensure compliance with international shipping regulations.
2. Why international shipping can be expensive
-
Long-distance transport:
- Delivering products across countries involves multiple logistics stages, including air transport, customs handling, and last-mile delivery.
-
Handling sensitive products:
- Our products require extra care during transit, and premium couriers charge more to handle such shipments.
-
Location-based costs:
- Remote or hard-to-reach areas may incur additional fees due to limited courier access.
3. How to save on shipping fees
Here are some practical ways to reduce shipping costs:
-
Order in bulk or maximize package weight:
- Combine multiple items into one order to fully utilize the allowable package weight. This lowers the shipping cost per item.
- Use the Cart Details section during checkout to see your total cart weight and adjust items accordingly.
-
Use the Ex-Works (EXW) option:
- With EXW, you can choose your own shipping courier for international delivery. Fair Skin Experts will ship your order to your preferred courier’s warehouse in the Philippines.
- Note: Customers using EXW are responsible for all transportation risks, customs fees, and import costs.
-
Ship to a friend or relative in the Philippines:
- If you have someone in the Philippines, consider using their address for delivery. Domestic shipping is significantly cheaper, and they can forward or bring the items to you later.
4. Why we choose FedEx and DHL
While there are cheaper carriers, we prioritize premium services to ensure:
- Safe handling of sensitive and regulated products.
- Accurate tracking and timely updates.
- A higher success rate for international deliveries.
Although shipping rates can seem high, they reflect the quality and reliability of FedEx and DHL services, ensuring your products arrive safely and efficiently. By optimizing your order or using alternatives like EXW, you can reduce costs while still enjoying our premium products.
