Discreet Delivery: What to Ask Before You Order

FORTION JOURNAL · SHOPPING AND PRODUCT LITERACY

You are comfortable buying an intimate product; you simply do not want the packaging to announce it to everyone at home. “Discreet delivery” sounds reassuring, but it is worth finding out exactly what the seller means.

Ask about the outside of the parcel

Check the sender name, branding and any description visible on the packaging. For international deliveries, ask about customs labels, which may require more information. A plain box does not necessarily mean every document is unbranded.

Think about notifications, too

Order emails, delivery messages and payment statements may matter to your privacy as well. Ask separately about those details. Confirm the address and delivery arrangements before purchasing so the parcel goes where you expect.
