Shipping items you buy from Victoria's Secret to India used to be a hassle, but not anymore. This post lays out a dead-simple process for getting your order from Victoria's Secret—or any other retailer that doesn't ship to India—shipped right to your doorstep in India with zero trouble and minimal fees.

GET STARTED

Known for its branding and high visibility marketing that includes an annual fashion show, Victoria's Secret is the largest lingerie retail store in the US. Working under the L Brands umbrella, the chain sells a variety of beauty products, fragrances, and clothes and has expanded into Canada. Founded in 1977, Victoria's Secret's headquarters are located in Palo Alto, California, USA.

Does Victoria's Secret Ship To India?

No, Victoria's Secret does not ship to India, but I've designed a process for getting any Victoria's Secret order shipped to India with zero headaches.

It involves using a package forwarder: a warehouse in the United States that will accept your Victoria's Secret order and forward it on to you in India.

Here's the exact process, explained step-by-step.

How To Get Victoria's Secret Orders Shipped To India

Step 1: Choose A Package Forwarder

Choosing the right package forwarder is a big deal, because that decision will determine how quickly you receive your order, and how much you have to pay for the service. I spent many hours doing some deep research on eight different package forwarders, scoring each of them on a wide variety of relevant metrics. Here are five of the main metrics I looked at:

Service Fees: How much do they charge to provide their core service of accepting and shipping packages, plus ancillary services such as long-term storage, re-packing, package consolidation, and more.
Monthly/Annual Fees: How much do they charge in monthly or annual fees, if at all.
Pricing Transparency: How much do I know about their pricing structure before sending my order to their warehouse.
Speed: How quickly will they process my package.
Customer Service: How satisfied are other users with their service, and how thoroughly/quickly do they respond to my questions.

After reviewing the data I collected on these and other metrics, it became clear to me that Anytime Mailbox was the best choice. Their customer service team responded to my emails quickly and thoroughly, they have thousands of 5-star reviews online, and their fees were consistently lower than all of the other package forwarders I looked at.

Here are a few other things I like about Anytime Mailbox:

Anytime Mailbox has tax-free warehouses in Oregon, so you can avoid paying sales tax on your orders.
Anytime Mailbox will consolidate multiple packages into a single box, significantly reducing shipping costs when you make multiple purchases.
Anytime Mailbox sends you free photos of your package as soon as it arrives at their warehouse.
Anytime Mailbox offers extremely cheap storage for your packages. Every package receives 10 days of free storage, but after that, Anytime Mailbox only charges one cent per pound per day. That means storing a 1-lb package in their warehouse for a month only costs $0.30!

Step 2: Ship Your Order To Anytime Mailbox

As soon as you've signed up for Anytime Mailbox, you'll receive a unique mailing address at their warehouse. Once you decide on the items you want to buy, just enter your Anytime Mailbox mailing address instead of your home mailing address and you're all set.

If you're not able to enter your home address as your credit card billing address, you should also be able to use Anytime Mailbox's warehouse address without any issues.

Step 3: Forward Your Package

As soon as your order arrives at Anytime Mailbox's warehouse, they'll send you photos of the package to let you know it's arrived. You'll also be given a series of shipping options to choose from. I find that there's generally at least 4 shipping options corresponding to 4 different price-speed combinations. Sometimes there can be as many as 10 or more shipping options—it just depends on the weight, size and value of your package.

My Personal Experience

I've used Anytime Mailbox more than a dozen times to ship packages to different parts of the world, and the experience has always been very smooth. Here's how things went the last time I did it.

First, I decided what I wanted to buy. To be honest, this might be the hardest part of the entire process.

Second, I had my order sent to my unique address at the tax-free Anytime Mailbox warehouse in Oregon. Less than 48 hours later, I received an email from Anytime Mailbox letting me know that it had arrived. Some of the other package forwarders I tested took 2-3 days just to process my incoming packages (not including the shipping time), so this is extremely quick.

Third, I filled in Anytime Mailbox's super-easy customs declaration form with the four pieces of information required:

The item being shipped
The number of items being shipped
The value of the item
Whether the item contains batteries

Fourth, I chose the shipping option I wanted from a list of eight. Prices ranged from $6-$35 USD, plus insurance at an additional $2 USD, so I chose the cheapest one ($8 USD, including the insurance), and I was done. My package was shipped out later that same day, and when it arrived, everything was in perfect shape.

The Costs (Customs & Duties)

In my experience, the price I paid ($6 USD + $2 USD in insurance) is pretty standard for shipping packages from Planet Express to India. You will also pay a 22% customs duty on the INR value of what you buy (50% for health and beauty products), which is standard for goods imported to India, plus 28% IGST.

In Summary

Overall, getting Victoria's Secret items shipped to India is extremely easy and smooth. The costs are low, and in my experience you'll actually end up saving money, since buying direct from Victoria's Secret is often cheaper than buying from other comparable retailers in India. If you're buying from Victoria's Secret, or any other retailer that doesn't ship to India, I'm confident this method will serve you well.
