FAQs when shipping to America
How can i avoid customs delays when shipping to the USA?
Ensure your contents descriptions are detailed and accurate and that you have the appropriate HS codes and the values of each item in your package. The customs documents are then made automatically and sent electronically to the courier.
Is it possible to change the delivery address after shipping?
We can try to do this but we cannot guarantee that the courier you have chosen will make the requested change. It is important to point out that doing so may incur extra charges.
What happens if my parcel gets stuck at US Customs?
Customs may hold parcels for incomplete paperwork or random inspections. Contact your courier for updates - they'll liaise with US Customs. But please be patient, it can take a few days to resolve.
Are there extra fees for shipping to remote US areas?
Yes, there can be remote area surcharges to some parts of America but these are detected during the booking process and you will be advised of the price change at the time.
How much does it cost to send a parcel to the USA?
Naturally, costs vary depending on a number of factors, such as the weight of your parcel(s), their dimensions, and how quickly you require your shipment to reach its destination. Below we have detailed the cheapest rates we have for various parcel weights to give you an idea of what you may have to pay:
- Prices for a 1kg parcel start from £42.90
- Prices for a 10kg parcel start from £104.46
- Prices for a 50kg parcel start from £363.77
You can also send much heaver parcels to the USA, all the way up to 300 kilos in weight for an individual item. If your shipment is heavy, please get in touch with us as we may still be able to ship it.
How long does it take to deliver a parcel to the USA?
Delivery times depend on your chosen service and external factors:
- In General: Delivery services to the USA are generally very quick - 2 to 3 working days is standard but, of course, it can take a few days longer depending on flight connections, remoteness of the delivery area, and customs clearance.
- Peak Seasons and Delays: Holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas for example) and events like Black Friday can slow things down due to extra volumes. Try to plan ahead at these times and ship a day or two earlier when possible. Inaccurate completion of customs information is the biggest factor in delivery delays when shipping to America.
Should I take out additional cover on my package?
The couriers we use have relatively low instances of damage or loss because we only work with the best in the business, and we provide £100 free cover on all shipments (subject to terms and conditions), but additional cover is available for additional peace of mind at additional cost, all the way up to £10,000.
- Additional cover isn't mandatory, but it's worth considering for high value items.
- Please check the restricted and prohibited items list as these items either cannot have cover at all, or have a reduced level of additional cover.
Important Update: UPS USA Customs Duty Issues - September 2025
In early September 2025, the UPS USA Customs Department began applying 200% duties on shipments containing even the smallest amount of metal. This unexpected policy change has caused widespread disruption for many shippers and customers.
Why This Happened
UPS informed us that U.S. Customs now requires a “Section 232 Steel and Aluminium Form” for any affected shipments. This form must declare:
- The value of the metal element within the shipment
- The country where the metal was smelted
Impact on Shipments
Many U.S. receivers refused to pay the inflated duties, leading UPS to raise queries back to us. While some duty overcharges were later corrected, in many cases shipments were returned to sender instead of being delivered.
Even after we began attaching Section 232 forms prior to shipping, as advised by UPS, the issue persisted. Customs delays and inconsistent duty assessments continued to affect deliveries.
Delays and Service Suspension
UPS USA Customs also announced up to 8-week delays in resolving duty-related queries. To prevent further inconvenience and unexpected costs for our customers, we made the decision to temporarily remove the UPS shipping option to the USA.
DHL USA Discounted Alternative
To ensure continued, reliable delivery to the USA, we have introduced a 10% discount on DHL USA services, making prices comparable to the previous UPS rates. DHL have not been impacted by the same restrictions and to date, no duty overcharges have been reported, customs delays experienced, and no Section 232 forms have been required through our shipments using them.
We will reintroduce UPS USA shipping options once these customs issues have been fully resolved, hopefully in the not-too-distant future.
