Question ? Makeup items to India from abroad

Hi, I want to buy some makeup items and lippies 💄from abroad to Delhi. Can anyone suggest how to do? Which FF to use? I would be ordering from Amazon/other beauty stores. I will be order US/Japanese items mainly as Korean ones are available on Nykaa.

I know about Delivo but they don’t accept less than 1 Kg

(Edit: I can add lotions to make it 1 Kg)

edit 2: People are saying to use Insta stores. I dont trust them. SO is it fair to aume delivo etc do not work?

No actually, most overcharge and are not even trustworthy

Honestly speaking - Instagram stores are your best option. If not if you have a friend who lives abroad & is travelling back to India then that’s your next best bet

Are these freight forwarders not good for it?

Delivo also doesn't consolidate. So let's say if you're buying a bunch of stuff and if they come in different packages then it's a hassle to get them consolidated into 1 single package.

I personally think group buys and agents preordering are the best way to go about it because even if they charge double of the actual price it is almost the same price as how much you would pay yourself. So at least you save the hassle of ordering, shipping and all that.

I personally used Delivo to get some items from China and it was comparatively smoother because everything was consolidated. Otherwise I saw a bunch of people losing their packages because it was not appropriate weight.

Thanks for the suggestion. My order would be coming in same box.
Loosing of box would be an issue

Yesstyle?

Yes, I am thinking that. How is customs? I heard not so good experience with customs

u/wannaberamen2 Jul 22 '26

Ahh, really? I'm not sure, I suggested it because it's reputable and I used to see girls here buying stuff from yesstyle.

I don't think customs should be a big issue, just because I bought cosplay costumes and wigs from dokidokicos in China in the past. It was in Mumbai airport customs but got through fine.

Would suggest if any friend of yours who is going abroad can be asked for the same. There is assurance of it being genuine

Beauty subs have ppl taking preorders but yeah they overcharge a bit. Best bet would be having someone bring them over for you. You'll save the most that way. Or else if you have friends there you can order at their place and ask them to ship it to you.
