SHADI DRESS · UK · DELIVERY
Delivery Information
Delivery times at Shadi Dress depend on what you are ordering. Bridal wear and groom wear are made after the order is placed, so they run on a longer timeline than wedding guest outfits, which move considerably faster. This page sets out each option, what it costs, and how the timeline is counted.
| Order Type | Delivery Option | Timeline | Delivery Charge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bridal Dresses / Formal Wear | Normal Delivery | Up to 3 months | Free |
| Bridal Dresses / Formal Wear | Rush Delivery | Up to 30 calendar days | £59 |
| Bridal Dresses / Formal Wear | Super Rush Delivery | Up to 14 calendar days | £199 |
| Groom Wear | Normal Delivery | Up to 3 months | Free |
| Groom Wear | Rush Delivery | Up to 30 calendar days | £59 |
| Groom Wear | Super Rush Delivery | Up to 14 calendar days | £199 |
| Wedding Guest Wear | Normal Delivery | Up to 18 calendar days | £9.99 — free on orders of £200 or more |
| Wedding Guest Wear | Rush / Super Rush | Not normally available — contact us before ordering | Confirmed individually where faster delivery is possible |
Bridal / Formal and Groom Wear Delivery
Bridal outfits, formal and groom wear go into production once the order is placed. Because Shadi Dress runs the manufacturing side directly, three delivery speeds are available, each with the maximum timeline shown below.
Normal Delivery
- Timeline: up to 3 months
- Delivery charge: free
The three-month window covers everything from the moment the order is placed, through production, to delivery at your UK address. Counting starts on the calendar day after the order is placed.
Rush Delivery
- Timeline: up to 30 calendar days in total
- Delivery charge: £59
Rush Delivery is there for brides and grooms working to a closer date than the normal timeline allows. Those 30 calendar days include both production and delivery, and the count begins on the calendar day after the order is placed.
Super Rush Delivery
- Timeline: up to 14 calendar days in total
- Delivery charge: £199
Super Rush is the fastest standard option on bridal and groom orders. Production and delivery both sit inside the 14 calendar days, counted from the day after the order is placed.
Sherwani Accessories and Add-Ons
If you select paid accessories or add-ons alongside a sherwani — a kurta pyjama, turban, shawl, khussa or another available item — those pieces follow the same overall delivery timeline as the sherwani itself.
Only the accessories or add-ons you select and pay for are included in the order. They are not supplied automatically with the base sherwani.
Delivery for Hand-Embroidered Formal Wear
Some formal outfits appear within our Wedding Guest Wear collections, but designs with extensive hand embroidery take longer to produce. These formal outfits therefore follow our Bridal Wear delivery schedule, not the usual 18-calendar-day wedding guest timeline. Normal Delivery takes up to 3 months, Rush Delivery up to 30 calendar days and Super Rush Delivery up to 14 calendar days, where available and confirmed for the chosen design. These periods include production and courier delivery. Standard wedding guest delivery charges do not automatically apply.
Always check the Delivery Timeline on the individual product page before ordering. It is updated daily and shows the estimated delivery date or delivery window if you order today. Use this current estimate to check whether your chosen outfit can arrive in time for your occasion.
Wedding Guest Wear Delivery
Wedding guest outfits run on a shorter standard timeline.
- Timeline: up to 18 calendar days in total
- Standard delivery charge: £9.99 — free on orders of £200 or more
The 18 days begin on the calendar day after your order is placed and run through to delivery at your UK address. No further shipping days are added at the end.
Rush and Super Rush are not normally offered on wedding guest wear. If your event falls inside 18 calendar days, get in touch by WhatsApp or email before you order. A faster timeline is sometimes possible depending on the current production workload, but it is never guaranteed unless Shadi Dress confirms it against your specific order.
How the Delivery Timeline Is Counted
To keep things unambiguous, these rules apply across every option on this page:
- Counting starts the day after your order is placed. Order on the 3rd and the timeline begins on the 4th.
- The 14-day, 18-day and 30-day timelines are calendar days, not working days.
- Production and shipping sit inside the stated timeline. Transit time is not added separately at the end.
- Normal bridal and groom wear delivery is expressed as up to 3 months.
On bridal and groom orders, the sizing or measurement details are selected or supplied before checkout is completed. That is why the timeline starts on the calendar day after the order is placed, rather than waiting for measurements to arrive later.
Customs, Duties and Import Charges
We do not want customers picking up unexpected import-related charges on a Shadi Dress order.
In the unusual event that a courier or the relevant authority asks you for an additional customs, duty, tax or other import-related payment, contact Shadi Dress and send us evidence of the request — the courier email, invoice, payment request or a clear screenshot will do.
Once the charge has been verified, Shadi Dress will return the equivalent verified amount to you, so that the extra cost does not fall on you.
Delivery FAQs
Common questions about delivery timelines, charges and how the count works.
How long does a bridal dress take to arrive in the UK?
Normal delivery on a bridal dress takes up to 3 months and is free. Rush Delivery takes up to 30 calendar days and costs £59. Super Rush takes up to 14 calendar days and costs £199.
Does the timeline include shipping?
Yes. Every figure on this page runs through to delivery at your address. Production and courier transit are already included where they apply, so extra shipping days are not added afterwards.
When does my delivery timeline start?
On the calendar day after your order is placed. If the order goes through on the 3rd, day one is the 4th.
Are the timelines working days or calendar days?
The 14-day, 18-day and 30-day timelines are calendar days, not working days. Normal bridal and groom wear delivery is expressed as up to 3 months.
Is delivery free on wedding guest wear?
Standard delivery on wedding guest wear costs £9.99, and is free once your order total reaches £200. The normal timeline is up to 18 calendar days.
Can wedding guest wear arrive in less than 18 days?
Rush and Super Rush are not normally available on wedding guest wear. If you need an outfit sooner, contact us by WhatsApp or email before ordering. A quicker timeline is sometimes possible depending on the production workload at the time, but it only stands once Shadi Dress confirms it for your order.
What happens if I am asked to pay a customs or import charge?
Contact Shadi Dress and send the courier email, invoice, payment request or screenshot showing the charge. Once the amount is verified, Shadi Dress will return the equivalent verified amount to you.
Do sherwani add-ons follow the same timeline?
Yes. Paid add-ons chosen with your sherwani — kurta pyjama, turban, shawl, khussa and similar — follow the same overall delivery timeline as the main order. Only the add-ons you select and pay for are included.
