A Beginner’s Guide to Using International Shipping Services Effectively


Introduction: Why This Guide Matters

Getting products, especially medicines, delivered from India to international destinations is not always straightforward. Concerns about secure packaging, customs clearance, and product safety make it intimidating for first-time users. That’s why PickYourKart’s Ship for Me service is a game-changer for NRIs, expats, and families needing essentials from home. This guide will walk you through how the service works and how your products, including life-saving medicines, are shipped safely and efficiently to your doorstep.

What is “Ship for Me”?

Ship for Me is a personalized international shipping solution that enables you to:

  • Shop from any Indian online store
  • Send items to a free virtual Indian address
  • Have them consolidated, securely packaged, and shipped globally

It’s especially helpful for individuals needing medicine delivery from India, as it combines convenience, safety, and reliability under one roof.

Why Secure Packaging Matters

International shipments face rough handling, long transits, and strict customs inspections. If packaging is not done right, items can get damaged, rejected, or delayed. This is especially risky for sensitive products like:

  • Medicines (tablets, syrups, injectables)
  • Ayurvedic oils and supplements
  • Glass-bottled cosmetics or food items

PickYourKart follows industry-grade packaging standards to ensure your parcel reaches safely, intact, and compliant with international regulations.

PickYourKart’s Secure Packaging Process

  1. Protective Wrapping: Items are wrapped in bubble wrap, foam, or waterproof layers based on the product type.
  2. Durable Outer Box: All items are packed in high-strength corrugated boxes that are crush-resistant.
  3. Temperature Awareness: Medicines requiring controlled environments are marked accordingly and shipped via suitable partners.
  4. Tamper-Proof Sealing: Each package is sealed securely to prevent tampering or spillage.
  5. Proper Labeling: Fragile, perishable, and medicinal items are labeled with handling instructions for customs and couriers.



    How to Get Medicines Delivered Internationally

    Many NRIs struggle to access Indian medications abroad. PickYourKart’s Ship for Me service simplifies this with a structured approach:

    Step 1: Submit Your Medicine List

    Send us a list of the medicines you need. For prescription drugs, attach a scanned copy of your valid doctor’s prescription.

    Step 2: We Procure From Verified Pharmacies

    Our team purchases from certified medical stores in India, ensuring authenticity and up-to-date stock.

    Step 3: We Package with Care

    Medicines are sorted, cushioned, and sealed in climate-conscious packaging to protect them during long-distance travel.

    Step 4: Global Delivery

    Packages are shipped to over 220 countries using our trusted courier partners. You can track your parcel through your customer dashboard.

    Documentation for Shipping Medicines

    For smooth customs clearance, certain documents may be required:

    • Doctor’s Prescription
    • Purchase Invoice
    • Self-declaration of personal use

    PickYourKart’s team handles the submission and preparation of these documents on your behalf.


    What Else Can You Ship?

    In addition to medicines, “Ship for Me” supports shipping for:

    • Ayurvedic health products
    • Cosmetics and personal care items
    • Indian groceries
    • Clothing, books, toys, and pooja items

    Why Consolidation Saves Time and Money

    Without consolidation, each product ordered from different sellers incurs separate international shipping and customs charges. PickYourKart solves this by:

    • Receiving all your orders at one virtual Indian address
    • Consolidating them into a single secure shipment
    • Reducing shipping costs by up to 50%
    • Speeding up customs processing with unified documentation
