Shipping & Delivery Policy

Overview

At DocumentSphere, we understand that your documents are important and often time-sensitive. That's why we offer multiple secure delivery options to ensure your completed documents reach you safely and on time, whether you're across the street or across the globe.

All physical document shipments include tracking, signature confirmation, and insurance. Digital deliveries are sent via secure, encrypted channels with read receipts.

Delivery Methods

We offer multiple delivery options to suit your needs:

Processing Times

Please note that delivery times are separate from service processing times. The total time to receive your documents includes:

Example: If you order an apostille service (3-5 business days processing) with express shipping (1-3 days), you'll receive your documents in approximately 5-9 business days total.

International Shipping

We ship documents to over 120 countries worldwide. International shipments may be subject to:

• Customs Clearance: Some countries require customs documentation for document shipments. We handle all necessary paperwork.
• Import Duties & Taxes: Any customs duties, import taxes, or fees imposed by the destination country are the responsibility of the recipient.
• Local Regulations: Delivery times may vary based on local postal services and customs processing in the destination country.
• Restricted Countries: Due to international sanctions or logistical limitations, we cannot ship to certain countries. Contact us to confirm availability for your location.

Tracking Your Order

All physical shipments include full tracking. Once your documents are dispatched, you'll receive:

• Tracking Number: Sent via email with a link to the courier's tracking page.
• Status Updates: Real-time updates as your package moves through the delivery network.
• Delivery Confirmation: Signature confirmation for all physical deliveries (unless you specifically request otherwise).
• Photo Proof: Available upon request for deliveries left at your address.

For digital deliveries, you'll receive a secure download link via email with read receipt confirmation.

Secure Packaging

Your documents are packaged with the highest level of security and discretion:

• Waterproof Envelopes: All documents are placed in waterproof, tear-resistant packaging.
• Rigid Mailers: Important documents like certificates and diplomas are shipped in rigid cardboard mailers to prevent bending.
• Discreet Labeling: Outer packaging does not reveal the contents for your privacy and security.
• Tamper-Evident Seals: All packages include tamper-evident seals so you can verify your documents haven't been accessed in transit.
• Insurance Coverage: All shipments are insured for their replacement value.

Shipping Restrictions

Please note the following shipping limitations:

• PO Boxes: Courier services cannot deliver to PO Boxes. A physical street address is required.
• Restricted Countries: We cannot ship to countries under international sanctions (e.g., North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba). Contact us for alternatives.
• Remote Areas: Some remote or rural locations may have extended delivery times or require special arrangements.
• Original Documents: We recommend using express shipping with signature confirmation for irreplaceable original documents.

Lost or Damaged Items

While we take every precaution to ensure safe delivery, in the rare event that your documents are lost or damaged in transit:

• Immediate Notification: Contact us within 48 hours of expected delivery if your package hasn't arrived.
• Investigation: We'll work with the courier to investigate and locate your shipment.
• Reprocessing: If documents are confirmed lost or damaged, we'll reprocess your service at no additional cost (excluding third-party fees already paid).
• Insurance Claims: We handle all insurance claims with the courier on your behalf.

Note: We are not responsible for delays caused by customs, weather, or other factors beyond our control.

Address Changes

If you need to change your delivery address:

• Before Shipment: You can update your address at any time before your documents are dispatched by contacting us.
• After Shipment: Once shipped, address changes may incur additional courier fees and could delay delivery.
• Incorrect Addresses: If a package is returned due to an incorrect address, you'll be responsible for reshipping costs.
