This service has limitations too that will determine how soon you can receive your order. For international shipping, Disney adheres to tax laws and other international regulations on trade for this reason the store is unable to accept orders from certain countries.
Domestic shipping and handling
For customers who are in the US, the shipping and delivery service at Disney is much more simplified. Orders that are made via standard delivery are typically dispatched and arrive within 5 days, while items that are personalized take up to 2 weeks to be delivered. Domestic shipping options also include express delivery for which they charge extra.
The delivery timeframe for personalized items
Disney allows its customers to make their selected products more personal. Personalized items can be customized t-shirts, fleece, bags, watches, coffee and tea mugs, mouse pads from their electronics section, wall décor, and other home decor items. These items once ordered usually take a longer time to be delivered so you would likely give an allowance of about 2 weeks for them to arrive. If using the express delivery service for personalized items they may take up to 2 days to deliver, unlike the standard items that will be delivered on the same day the order is made.
Exceptions and restrictions on domestic shipping
Delivery to be made to rural areas or areas out of main cities may take a longer time than stipulated. Sometimes Disney orders that are made together may ship separately due to many other factors. Express delivery is not available for deliveries made to a P. O. Box, to Puerto Rico, or Guam. Disney Store does not dispatch deliveries on holidays; however, you can track the package using the tracking number to the initial delivery address. If there are any problems experienced during the delivery process, Disney encourages its customers to contact their local USPS or military mail locations for further instruction.
International shipping
Disney Store has been shipping all over Europe and Asia, mainly Japan. However, in recent times the tax laws for international shipments have changed in Europe. Although the company is working tirelessly to meet the requirements of these countries they currently cannot accept orders from a few select countries in Europe and as a result cannot ship there. These countries include;
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and The United Kingdom.
Despite this limitation, the international community has the opportunity to shop at the Disney online store for Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars products.
The charges for international shipping largely depend on the size of the package and the destination. When shopping online the total charges that include shipping costs are usually indicated at the checkout page before completing the payment on goods.
Restrictions on international shipping
Disney stores cannot ship to a P. O. Box international address. Express delivery cannot be used for international customers as it is only limited to US-based customers. There is a limit to the number of countries that Disney can ship to. For example, they cannot ship to countries in the Middle East like Afghanistan and Iraq; some European countries like Bouvet Island in Norway; African countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ghana; as well as some Asian countries like Pakistan and Indonesia. If the specific country where the package is supposed to be delivered has applied a sort of duty on goods, it is the responsibility of the customer to pay the duty fees. When it comes to customs, the customer or recipient of the goods must comply with the standards of the destination country. The customer has to assure customs officers that the goods being purchased are lawfully imported.

In conclusion, buying and shipping directly from the Disney store saves time and makes it very convenient for customers to enjoy the products Disney offers locally or internationally. The system Disney stores have implemented for shipping on their online store orders ensures that all their global customers have the same opportunities to use their products sufficiently.
