Shipping to the UK from the US

Post by dukerules » Sun Sep 10, 2017 10:47 am

Does anyone have experience with this? Which carrier did you use, and what insurance options do I have?

From a UK point of view..
Whenever I've bought from the US..
I've never had a problem with USPS Tracked/Signed for lower value items. (anything marked at $20 or under incur no import taxes or delays)
For higher value items, Fed-Ex are good, as there are no customs delays. Fed-Ex pay the relevant UK Import Taxes, then bill the receiver afterwards. (usually takes about a month for the bill to come through)

You will save on insurance with CGI. I shipped a Rolex SD insured for 6k a few months ago and i think the insurance was around $4.

Mike the Rockmaster & Mike the demer have both sent me things via USPS that have gone missing for weeks and I mean weeks. Also, UK customs hate me, I don't know why :whistle: :lol:

As long as you get paid via wire, buyer covers shipping fees (use FedEx through CGI), and you ensure to specify buyer pays custom fees, you're perfectly fine shipping to UK.
