📦 What is DDP Shipping — And How Does It Save You From Duties and Tariffs?

Ordering from overseas shouldn't mean navigating a maze of hidden fees, surprise taxes, or long delays. That’s why we offer DDP (Delivered Duties Paid) shipping — a smarter way to shop globally, powered by our AI Agent and supported by the Maker Help Center.

Here’s how it helps you skip the stress (and the massive bills):

✅ What Does DDP Actually Mean?

  • DDP stands for Delivered Duties Paid — which means we pay for the import duties, taxes, and tariffs that would normally fall on you as the buyer.
  • These fees are covered before your parcel ships, so you won't get a call from customs asking for extra payment.
  • Your order arrives at your door with no hidden charges, and no paperwork to fill out. 🎉

💸 Why is This So Important? Let’s Talk Tariffs…

  • In many countries, tariffs and import duties can be shockingly high — sometimes up to 135% of your order’s value.
  • That means a $100 order could cost you an extra $135 just in customs fees — not cool.
  • With DDP shipping, you pay just 5–10% of your order value upfront — and we handle the rest, including:
    • 🌐 Import duties
    • 🧾 Government tariffs
    • 🛃 Customs declarations
  • Think of it as an all-inclusive pass through international borders.

⏳ Does It Take Longer?

  • Yes, DDP shipping adds a little extra processing time because we’re working directly with customs in advance.
  • Expect delivery in 7–12 business days, compared to the usual 3–5 day shipping for domestic or non-DDP orders.
  • But the trade-off? No delays at customs, no surprise fees, and no stress.

🤖 How Can I Track or Learn More?
