Ready One’s clothing shipping and delivery service covers brands in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, the UAE, and 40+ countries worldwide. All shipments are dispatched from the factory in Sialkot, Pakistan, on DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms — meaning import duties, taxes, and last-mile delivery are included in the quoted price. Founded in 2012, Ready One has shipped to international brands across 40+ countries over 14+ years without a single customs-related delivery failure.
Furthermore, DDP shipping eliminates the most common source of confusion for brands sourcing from Pakistan for the first time. Rather than receiving an unexpected customs bill on arrival, brands receive a single landed cost at the quoting stage. Consequently, budget planning is straightforward and there are no surprise charges when the shipment reaches the brand’s warehouse.

ISO 9001, BSCI, and SEDEX certified. Factory size: 25,000 sq ft. Monthly capacity: 100,000–150,000 units. MOQ from 50 units. DDP worldwide shipping.
How Does Ready One Handle Clothing Shipping and Delivery?
Ready One manages the full export and shipping process from the factory gate to the brand’s warehouse. The logistics team prepares all export documentation, arranges freight with trusted carriers, handles customs clearance in the destination country, and coordinates last-mile delivery. As a result, brands do not need a freight forwarder or customs broker — Ready One manages every step.
DDP Shipping — What It Means for Your Brand
DDP stands for Delivered Duty Paid. Under DDP terms, the supplier bears full responsibility for the shipment until it is delivered to the buyer’s specified address. Specifically, this includes export clearance in Pakistan, international freight, import duties in the destination country, VAT or GST where applicable, and last-mile delivery. Therefore, the price quoted by Ready One is the final price — nothing is added on arrival.
In contrast, FOB (Free on Board) and EXW (Ex Works) terms require the buyer to arrange their own freight and customs clearance. For brands new to international sourcing, DDP is significantly simpler. Moreover, DDP protects brands from exchange rate fluctuations on freight costs — since the full landed cost is fixed at the quoting stage.
Shipping Destinations and Transit Times
Ready One ships clothing orders to all major markets. Transit times depend on the shipping method chosen — air freight or sea freight — and the destination country. The following transit times are indicative for standard air freight shipments from Sialkot, Pakistan.
Key Market Transit Times — Air Freight
| Destination | Air Freight Transit | Sea Freight Transit |
|---|---|---|
| USA | 5–7 business days | 25–35 days |
| UK | 3–5 business days | 20–28 days |
| Canada | 5–7 business days | 28–35 days |
| Australia | 5–7 business days | 30–40 days |
| Germany / EU | 3–5 business days | 20–30 days |
| UAE | 2–3 business days | 10–14 days |
These transit times begin from the date of factory dispatch — not from order confirmation. Furthermore, transit times are in addition to the production lead time of 30 to 45 days. Therefore, brands planning a seasonal launch should account for total project time: sampling (14–21 days) + production (30–45 days) + shipping (3–7 days air or 20–40 days sea).
Air Freight vs Sea Freight — Which Is Right for Your Order?
The choice between air freight and sea freight depends on order volume, budget, and delivery urgency. Both options are available for all Ready One orders. The production team recommends the most cost-effective option based on the order’s weight, volume, and destination at the time of quoting.
When to Use Air Freight
Air freight is the right choice for urgent orders, first shipments, or smaller order quantities where speed matters more than per-unit shipping cost. Specifically, first orders — particularly those timed to coincide with a product launch — almost always use air freight. Furthermore, air freight provides better shipment tracking visibility and more predictable delivery windows than sea freight.
For example, a startup brand placing its first 50-unit order for a social media launch will typically choose air freight to ensure the garments arrive before the campaign launch date. As a result, the higher per-unit shipping cost is offset by the importance of the delivery timing.
When to Use Sea Freight
Sea freight offers significantly lower per-unit shipping costs for large or heavy orders. Consequently, brands placing bulk reorders of 500+ units typically choose sea freight to reduce the landed cost per garment. Moreover, brands with reliable seasonal reorder schedules can plan sea freight shipments well in advance, removing the time-pressure that makes air freight necessary.
In addition, Ready One consolidates sea freight shipments where possible — so brands ordering smaller quantities than a full container load (LCL orders) still benefit from sea freight economics. Specifically, LCL shipments are available for orders that do not fill a full 20ft or 40ft container.
Import Documentation and Compliance
Ready One prepares all export and import documentation required for each destination market. Specifically, standard documentation for every shipment includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and certificate of origin. Furthermore, UK and EU shipments include fibre content compliance labelling and country-of-origin documentation that meets current import regulations.
In particular, brands selling into the EU after Brexit face specific documentation requirements for UK and EU customs separately. Ready One’s logistics team handles this documentation split for brands selling simultaneously into both markets. Consequently, the brand does not need a trade compliance specialist to import Ready One shipments into either the UK or EU.
For brands in regulated industries — such as childrenswear or PPE — additional compliance documentation may be required. Ready One’s certifications page details the factory’s available compliance documentation. Furthermore, brands requiring specific test reports or conformity certificates should discuss these requirements at the briefing stage.
Packaging and Export Preparation
Every Ready One shipment is export-packed to the brand’s specification. Specifically, garments are individually poly-bagged, folded to the brand’s preferred fold, and packed into export cartons with the brand’s specified carton labelling. Moreover, master carton labels include all the information required for the brand’s warehouse receiving process — style, size, colour, and quantity per carton.
In addition, hanging garment options are available for brands that require garments to arrive crease-free on rail. Furthermore, retail-ready packaging — including custom boxes, branded tissue, and header cards — is available for brands that ship direct to consumers from their warehouse.
