Ordering from an overseas shop is easy once you know what to check. A few minutes of preparation before you send an Order For Me request can save you from wrong sizes, surprise weights and long waits. Here is a simple checklist for Bhutanese shoppers ordering from India, Thailand and China with DrukBees.
1. Share the exact product link
Always send the direct link to the product page, not a screenshot or a search result. Shops often list many similar items, and the link is the clearest way to make sure we buy exactly what you want.
2. Be clear about the variant
Size, colour, model, storage capacity and compatibility all matter. If a phone case fits only one model, or a shirt comes in several cuts, say which one you need. Check the shop’s own size chart before ordering clothes or shoes, because sizes differ between brands and countries.
3. Think about weight before you buy
International shipping is charged by weight. From Thailand the rate is BTN 650 per kg and from China it is BTN 990 per kg. Heavy or bulky items such as furniture, large appliances or many glass bottles add up quickly, so compare the shipping cost with what the same item costs locally. Light items like clothes, accessories and small electronics accessories usually make the most sense to import.
4. Plan around delivery times
Orders take about 7 days from India, about 10 days from Thailand and about 21 days from China. If you need something for a festival, a wedding, a school term or a gift, order early and choose the country that fits your timeline.
5. Check what can be shipped
Some goods cannot travel by air cargo, and rules can change. Before ordering batteries, liquids, sprays, chemicals or anything unusual, read our latest notices on this website or ask our team. It is much easier to check first than to have an item held back.
6. Combine your shopping
If you are buying several things from the same country, plan them together. Ordering in one go keeps things simple for you to track and makes it easier to see the total cost upfront.
7. Keep track of your order
Once your order is placed, log in to your DrukBees account to follow its progress. Keep your contact details up to date so we can reach you quickly if a shop changes a price or an item goes out of stock.
