Dress Donation – International Shipping Instructions

It is your preference which method you select for shipping your dress to Encore Ballroom Couture for donation. We use FedEx Ground for shipping your dress donation from our Dress Studio to the GOLD STARS program.

International shipping can be done through FedEx International, UPS Worldwide, TNT Post, DHL International, or any other reputable shipping company. Please ship your package with a tracking number and signature required upon delivery. Please email us and we will provide our studio address to ship to. (The United States Postal Service (USPS) does not allow anything other than USPS shipments to P.O. Boxes.) Once shipped, email your tracking number, so that we can anticipate delivery.

Please pay for the shipping label through your local shipping facility. You may use your account numbers for FedEx, UPS, or other international shipping companies. We will email you once the dresses have been received. We will then process them and send you a Registration Invoice.

 

 

Customs Note:  All international shipments may be delayed through customs, so please take that into consideration when choosing your method of shipping. Please provide our phone number to customs and border patrol agents for any questions regarding the export of your dresses.  Julie Wilson, Owner, Encore Ballroom Couture, (703) 573-1640.

Note:  You are responsible for all duties and taxes associated with your shipment to Encore Ballroom Couture.

Note:  Purchasing insurance for your package is completely at your discretion. Each carrier offers different options for insuring packages.

Note:  We would recommend placing each dress and any accompanying accessories within a plastic zip top bag in case your shipping box would get wet or be exposed to moisture during transit.
