📦 Shipping & Handling Policy

Your shipping cost is calculated as follows:

FedEx Shipping Rate — charged at our discounted business account rates, typically lower than public rates.

Handling Fee — covers document preparation, packing, labeling, and drop-off.

For domestic shipments, we add a handling fee of $15–$35 per shipment.

For international shipments, we add a handling fee of $50–$70 per shipment.
This reflects the additional time spent preparing customs paperwork and ensuring all international requirements are met.

Important Note:
To protect the integrity of your legal documents and ensure timely, traceable delivery, we exclusively use FedEx International Priority for all international shipments.

Cheaper economy options may seem appealing, but they often rely on local postal services with no guaranteed transit times, limited tracking, and no liability coverage — an unacceptable risk for important legal documents like notarized papers and apostilles.

By using Priority service only, we minimize the risk of delays, loss, or damage so you can have confidence your documents will arrive securely and on schedule.

Once we have handed your shipment to FedEx (or your chosen carrier) and provided a tracking number, responsibility for the safe and timely delivery of your documents passes to the carrier. Shah Notary & Apostille Services is not liable for delays, loss, or damage that may occur during transit. FedEx terms and conditions will apply.

Delivery estimates are provided by FedEx and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery times may vary due to weather, holidays, logistical delays, or other factors outside our control.

For international shipments, please note that import duties, taxes, or other customs clearance fees may be charged by the destination country. These fees are the recipient’s responsibility.

We recommend contacting your local customs office for more information.

Please ensure all shipping information is accurate and complete. Shah Notary & Apostille Services cannot be held responsible for failed or delayed deliveries due to incorrect or incomplete address details.

We will not be held liable for any delay or failure to provide shipping services due to circumstances beyond our control — including, but not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, civil unrest, strikes, or governmental restrictions.

Please ensure all shipping information is accurate and complete. Shah Notary & Apostille Services cannot be held responsible for failed or delayed deliveries due to incorrect or incomplete address details.
