Shipping Policy

Q: How does iBuyOK.com ensure the safety of fragile lighting during transit?

iBuyOK.com utilizes high-density foam molding and reinforced double-wall corrugated boxes. For oversized designer lighting, we add external wooden skeletons to the packaging to ensure the integrity of the product during international air or sea freight.

Q: Can I consolidate multiple vendor orders into one shipment?

Yes. Through our VOK cloud warehouses, iBuyOK.com offers consolidation services. We can hold items from different vendors and ship them as a single consignment to reduce your total freight costs and simplify customs clearance.

Q: What should I do if a shipment arrives damaged?

While iBuyOK.com maintains a very low damage rate, accidents can happen. You must inspect the goods immediately upon delivery. If damage is found, note it on the carrier’s Proof of Delivery (POD) and contact us within 48 hours with high-resolution photos.

Q: Are shipping costs inclusive of local taxes?

Standard shipping quotes on iBuyOK.com cover the transport from the vendor or warehouse to your door or port. They do not include local VAT, GST, or import duties, which are the responsibility of the professional buyer.

Welcome to iBuyOK.com. As a global multi-vendor marketplace specializing in luxury furniture, designer lighting, and building materials, we facilitate the international distribution of high-quality products from a network of specialized vendors and VOK cloud warehouses. Our shipping processes are optimized to meet the rigorous standards of professional trade and hospitality projects.

2. Order Processing and Lead Times

Shipping timelines are influenced by the complexity and customization of our designer products:

In-Stock Items: Typically processed within 3–7 business days.
Custom and Made-to-Order Goods: Production lead times for bespoke furniture or specialized lighting generally range from 4 to 8 weeks.
Consolidation: For orders involving multiple vendors, we utilize our overseas cloud warehouses to consolidate shipments, which may add 3–5 days to the initial processing period but significantly reduces total freight costs.

3. Shipping Methods

We utilize a tiered logistics strategy to ensure the safety of fragile luxury goods:

Parcel Express: Small items and accessories are shipped via premium couriers like DHL, FedEx, or UPS.
Freight & LTL (Less Than Truckload): Large furniture, sanitary ware, and ceramic tiles are shipped via professional freight forwarders.
Project Logistics: For large-scale hospitality or commercial developments, we coordinate FCL (Full Container Load) shipments to project sites.

4. Shipping Rates and Inquiries

Calculated Shipping: Standard shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on volume, weight, and destination.
B2B Logistics Quote: For oversized items or bulk orders, buyers are encouraged to use the Inquiry button on the product page. Our team will provide a tailored logistics quote that accounts for project-specific delivery requirements.

5. International Customs, Duties, and Taxes

Orders placed through www.iBuyOK.com are generally shipped on a DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) basis:

Responsibilities: The recipient is responsible for all import duties, VAT, and local customs clearance fees.
Documentation: We provide comprehensive commercial invoices and packing lists to ensure efficient processing through international customs.

6. Delivery and Inspection Protocol

Given the high-value and fragile nature of designer lighting and materials:

Inspection: Customers must inspect all packaging for visible damage before signing the Proof of Delivery (POD).
Damages: Any transit-related damage must be reported with photographic evidence within 48 hours of receipt.

7. Tracking Your Order

Once your shipment is dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email containing a tracking number and a link to the carrier’s portal. Real-time updates are also available through your account dashboard on iBuyOK.com.
