Written by Nicole Padron
Updated over 3 weeks ago

All shipments are subject to review by the SwagUp Logistics Team to ensure they adhere to the following guidelines. Any shipments that do not adhere to these restrictions will be flagged and the SwagUp Care Team will contact your team to discuss next steps on how to move forward.


🚨 UPDATE: Bulk international shipments are currently experiencing delays in compliance review and processing. Please reach out to the Care Team (care@swagup.com) if you have any questions about your pending shipment.


INFORMATION REQUIRED ON ALL SHIPMENTS

  • Full Legal Name of Recipient

  • Full Address in English alphabet (no symbols/characters)

  • Valid phone number and email address for the RECIPIENT


BEST PRACTICES WHEN SHIPPING INTERNATIONALLY

  • If you are shipping internationally, most countries have a KYC Process (see Country-Specific section here) and recipients will be contacted by the carrier/customs of that country to verify one or several identifying details to complete the shipment and ensure successful delivery.

  • It is imperative that the recipient is aware that a shipment is being sent to them in advance and to look out for communications from the carrier on behalf of customs, and they must respond promptly with all required information.

Any shipments deemed undeliverable due to incorrect recipient information submitted, unresponsive recipient, or recipient refusal to comply with

KYC process will be excluded from Shipping Protection

and cannot be claimed for credit.

WHEN BULK-SHIPPING INTERNATIONALLY FOR EVENTS, OFFSITES, ETC.

FOR ALL COUNTRIES: The Consignee (person or business entity receiving the shipment) must be a citizen of or do business in the destination country.

If shipping to an Individual, they must have destination country’s TAX ID (in US it's the SS number with which taxes are filed).

If shipping to an Entity, they have to have TAX ID (registered business ID with which they file taxes as a company).


​**Any Person traveling to destination country for an event who is not a legal resident of that country WILL NOT be able to clear shipment through customs themselves.**

Please contact your AE/AM/Live Chat if you have any questions about this BEFORE placing your order for bulk items that you plan to ship internationally if you do not have a resident or business entity in that country to receive it and clear it in customs.


Country-Specific Requirements

SwagUp currently ships to most countries, but there are many that cannot be shipped to at this time. Please read carefully and educate yourself on all requirements and restrictions for the countries you plan on shipping to before placing your order.
