3. Important Considerations for Customers in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan:

• International Shipping (Available, but with caveats):

  • Case-Mate US does ship internationally to most countries, including Pakistan.²²
  • During checkout, you will be able to select Pakistan as your country, and the shipping costs will be calculated. They use International Express services.
  • They state that international orders may be subject to duties and taxes. Crucially, Case-Mate attempts to pre-collect duties and taxes at checkout. This is a significant advantage, as it often means you won't be responsible for paying these fees upon delivery, avoiding unexpected surprises from Pakistani customs.
  • Allow up to 10 days for international delivery (though actual times can vary based on customs processing).

• Customs Duties and Taxes:

  • As mentioned, Case-Mate aims to pre-collect these. However, it's always wise to understand that import duties and taxes are levied by Pakistani authorities on goods imported into the country. The amount depends on the declared value and category of items (e.g., mobile accessories, plastics).
  • While pre-collection is helpful, it's not foolproof for all situations, and sometimes minor discrepancies can occur.

• Pricing:

  • All prices on the Case-Mate US website will be in US Dollars (USD).
  • Your payment (e.g., via international credit card) will be processed in USD. Your bank will handle the currency conversion to Pakistani Rupees (PKR) and may apply its own exchange rate and any foreign transaction fees.

• Warranty and Returns:

  • Many Case-Mate phone cases come with a Lifetime Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.²³ Other products may have a one-year or two-year warranty (e.g., wireless chargers).
  • For international returns, while the warranty may apply, the process can be more complex and costly. You would likely be responsible for international return shipping fees, and any pre-paid duties/taxes might not be fully refundable by the respective governments.

In summary, for customers in US, purchasing from Case-Mate US is a viable option due to their international shipping. The fact that they attempt to pre-collect duties and taxes at checkout is a notable benefit for avoiding unexpected customs charges upon delivery. You can take advantage of their various online coupons and sales, but always factor in the total cost including shipping and the potential for any remaining customs discrepancies.
