This article provides a comprehensive overview of Gelato's shipping process, from production and delivery to shipping prices and times. It also covers important aspects such as customs fees, packaging, and shipping options.

Gelato collaborates with a vast network of production and logistics partners to ensure efficient order fulfillment and delivery. With a presence in over 200 countries and local production in 32 countries, Gelato leverages its network of 130+ print partners to expedite deliveries, reduce costs and carbon emissions, and support local businesses.

While Gelato strives to produce orders as close to the delivery address as possible, factors like stock availability, production capacity, and logistics determine the optimal production location. An algorithm considers these factors to ensure smooth and swift delivery. Despite occasional international routing, Gelato maintains a high rate of local production, with 95% of orders produced in the same country as their delivery destination.

For international shipments, customs fees may apply based on local regulations. It's recommended to inform customers about potential customs fees.
