Processing Times
Once you place your order, we get to work straight away. Here's what to expect before your order ships:
| Order type | Processing time |

| Custom or personalised cases | 3–5 business days |
You'll receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number as soon as your order leaves the warehouse.
Shipping to the UAE
The UAE is our home market and we prioritise delivery speed here. We ship via AliExpress Direct and regional courier partners to all seven emirates.

If you are not home at the time of delivery, our courier will attempt redelivery. After two failed attempts, your parcel may be held at a local depot for collection.
International Shipping
We ship to over 190 countries worldwide. International delivery times vary depending on your location and the shipping method available at checkout.

Order Tracking
Every PhoneSkinz order comes with full tracking. Here's how it works:
- You'll receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking number once your order is dispatched
- Use our Track My Order page to follow your parcel in real time
- You'll receive automatic updates at key stages — dispatched, in transit, out for delivery, delivered
If your tracking hasn't updated in more than 5 business days, please contact us and we'll investigate with the carrier.
Customs & Import Duties
For UAE deliveries, there are typically no import duties on phone cases and accessories.
For international orders, customs fees, import taxes, and duties are the responsibility of the customer and are determined by your local customs authority. These charges are not included in your PhoneSkinz order total and are not something we can predict or control.
We recommend checking with your local customs office if you are unsure about potential charges before placing an international order.
