Shipping from India to Ireland — questions

How do I shop Indian websites from Ireland?

Sign up free and you get an Indian delivery address in Pala, Kerala with your own suite code. Use it as the shipping address at checkout on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio and most other Indian stores. When your parcels reach us we let you know, and you choose when to have them forwarded to Ireland.

How long does delivery to Ireland take?

Typically 5 to 10 business days from the day your consolidated shipment leaves our warehouse, plus customs clearance at your end. Time in storage before you request shipping does not count towards that.

How much can I save by combining parcels?

International shipping is priced on weight and size, so five separate parcels cost far more than one. We repack everything into a single box and strip unnecessary packaging to cut volumetric weight — savings of up to 80% against shipping each order on its own are normal.

Will I pay customs duty in Ireland?

Import VAT (23%) applies to most goods; customs duty applies above about €150. The recipient may need to pay VAT/duty before delivery. Duty is charged by the customs authority in Ireland, not by India Rabbit.

What can I not forward to Ireland?

Prohibited for Ireland: Meat and dairy products from outside the EU; Protected plants, seeds, and certain foods without certificates; Counterfeit goods and endangered species products; Offensive weapons and certain knives; Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones; Narcotics, illegal drugs, and psychotropic substances. Check before you order — these are refused at customs or by the airline.

How long will you hold my parcels?

30 days free from the day each parcel arrives, which is enough to finish a sale-season order and send it all together. Storage can be extended for a fee if you need longer.

Do I need an Indian card or phone number?

For most stores your own card works fine. Where a store insists on an Indian payment method, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will tell you what is possible.
