DollDelightsHub Shipping & Delivery Policy
Discreet Packaging Your doll will be packed in a sealed, sturdy, moisture-proof cardboard box. The outer packaging is completely neutral — no doll-related labels, branding, images, logos, or any suggestive text will appear on the box. 100% privacy guaranteed — no one can tell the contents from the outside.
Important Note: Customs officials may open the package for inspection and determine applicable import duties/taxes (responsibility of the buyer).
Free Shipping & Coverage We offer free and fully discreet worldwide shipping, primarily covering:
- North America (free shipping within the continental US, excluding remote areas)
- Most of Asia
Restricted Shipping Destinations (due to import
laws and restrictions): We do not ship to:
- All Islamic countries (e.g., Afghanistan, Pakistan, Jordan, Libya, Kosovo, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, etc.)
- Thailand, Malaysia, India, Indonesia
- Most African countries
- Brazil
Special Regions with Extra Fee:
For Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska, etc., we can ship with an additional
$550 per doll shipping fee. Please contact us for details and
confirmation.
Customs Duties & Taxes
- United States, United Kingdom, and select EU countries: Duties/taxes are usually included in the shipping cost — in most cases, no extra payment required at delivery.
- Mexico, Canada, and non-EU European countries: Buyer is responsible for customs clearance and paying any applicable taxes/duties.
- Remote or high-risk countries/regions (e.g., Ecuador, Brazil, etc.): Customers must pre-pay $300–$500 in customs fees before shipping (after factory photo confirmation). This prevents returns due to unreachable customers during clearance. Not sure if your country is considered remote? Contact us — we will do our best to minimize duties and assist with smooth clearance.
Special Note for UK Customers:
- Shipments from EU, US, or Canada warehouses: Buyer must handle all customs clearance procedures themselves.
- Shipments from UK local warehouse or direct from China factory: No customer clearance required.

Upon Delivery – Inspection Recommendations
- Inspect the package immediately upon arrival — check each item even if the outer box looks intact.
- If damage is found, take photos/videos as evidence while the delivery person is present.
- If the driver refuses inspection before signing: Carefully examine the box for any damage/holes. Refuse delivery if issues found, and obtain the carrier’s local contact info.
- Any damage discovered later: You must file a claim directly with the carrier. We can provide supporting documents to assist.
Lost Package Claim Process If tracking shows “delivered/signed” but the package is missing:
-
Without Shipping Insurance (not recommended):
- Immediately contact the carrier (FedEx/UPS/etc.) to file a formal loss complaint and claim.
- Once you receive the official loss receipt/confirmation from the carrier, forward it to our support email ( or your designated email).
- We will fully cooperate by providing shipping records and details to support your claim.
-
With Shipping Insurance (strongly recommended!):
- Contact our support team and your insurance provider within 3 calendar days of the reported delivery date.
- Steps: (1) Obtain official loss proof/receipt from the carrier. (2) Send it to our support email within 3 days — we will coordinate with the insurer promptly (on business days). (3) Once approved, the insurer will process your compensation directly to minimize inconvenience.

checkout — it provides critical protection for your purchase. If you
