Shipping from India to Kuwait — questions

How do I shop Indian websites from Kuwait?

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 Kuwait.

How long does delivery to Kuwait take?

Typically 4 to 8 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 Kuwait?

Customs duty is generally around 5% of value. Declare contents and medicines accurately. Duty is charged by the customs authority in Kuwait, not by India Rabbit.

What can I not forward to Kuwait?

Prohibited for Kuwait: Alcohol and pork products; Non-Islamic religious idols and offensive material; Narcotics and controlled substances; Pornographic and gambling material; E-cigarettes and vaping products (restricted/banned); Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones. 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.
