Shipping to the UK for the best price. 

The Parcel Monkey global shipping marketplace enables you to find cheap ways to ship your packages to the UK, whether that be to England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Select an affordable courier delivery service by providing us with just a few details; the weight of your package, the size of your package and the delivery destination. We can then help you book a courier to come and pick up the package from your home or work address, or you can choose to drop off at a local Post Office or store. 

Express delivery services

If you need to ship express shipping to the UK, our USA Express International service will ensure your package is shipped in just 2-5 working days. FedEx will come and pick up the package, it will then be sorted at a central US location before being dispatched internationally to your recipient. 

 We also offer a DHL Express International which is picked up from your home or work and transported by DHL. They also offer a DHL by 12 pm option and a 9 am service for those who require an early morning delivery. You can, of course, track your shipment in full to delivery. 

We also offer some Drop Off services to the UK. We have a discounted rate with USPS on the International Priority Mail service, so all you need to do is book the service online, print off the shipping labels and any customs documents and drop off into any USPS Post Office. 

You can also use our International Drop Off service, for Express delivery from the US to the UK. This is provided by FedEx, so get a price from our shipping calculator, book, print the labels and drop into your local FedEx store. 

Cheapest shipping from the USA to the UK 

Of course, for some people looking to ship goods to the UK, the price is the most important factor. If your items are not time sensitive and you are looking for economical shipping solution we can help too. 

We offer the reliable DHL eCommerce delivery service, which is a drop off service that you take to your local USPS Post Office. The transit times for this service are 11-22 days and it is perfect for online merchants as it comes with tracking, that can allow you ship your goods cross-border, for less. This is by far our cheapest US to UK shipping service at almost half the price of the next best courier rate. 

As the weight of your package goes up, the more it may cost to ship your items. For example, when it comes to a package that weighs around 20lbs, you can ship it to the UK with our USA Express International service for the cheapest price. 

What am I allowed to ship via the courier companies you offer?

The UK is an important economy in Europe as it will shortly be leaving the European Union there may be greater opportunities for US retailers, online merchants and business to trade with the UK. British shoppers spent £7.7 billion online buying from overseas retailers in 2016, according to new research from VoucherCodes.co.uk so it seems that importing from destinations overseas will remain a valuable sector for the British consumer. 

Clothing and exercise equipment are popular products shipped from the US to the United Kingdom. Other popular eCommerce categories are movies, music and books.

UK consumers are price sensitive and with 82% of British population using the internet, there are plenty of opportunities in the world of eCommerce to make sales to the UK market. 

Are your delivery services suitable for eBay and eCommerce?

In a recent report from the Office of National Statistics, the UK is shown to be the top EU territory for eCommerce. 87% of Brits ordered at least one item online in 2017. 

Courier services in the UK are chosen for their cost and reliability, there are great transport links and so fast and affordable shipping is a minimum requirement. When choosing a courier service to ship items to the UK, you should consider an Express courier, but most importantly you should provide the recipient with a tracking number. As Parcel Monkey offers both Express and tracked delivery options, our service is great for both eBay and general eCommerce shipping. 

Customs Information

The UK does specifically restrict the importation of beef jerky and salami products. The importation of electronic cigarettes are prohibited without an International Special Commodities contract - even for personal use. Flick, gravity, butterfly and other forms of knives are prohibited.

You should also be clear which goods are excisable (duties due) Make sure you declare the value of your goods correctly, goods under the value of GBP15 don't have any taxes, but over that you will be charged VAT and in some cases duties. You should consult the UK Government's current stance on sanctions and/or embargoes with respect to Iran. You are unable to ship any form of vegetable matter to the UK and any seeds you may wish to send should be accompanied by an original Phytosanitary Certificate.

When shipping from outside of the EU there are some considerations to take including; the rate of import duty depends on the product you're shipping, and its value., gifts declared with a value of less than £36 are not subject to import duty or VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer door to door delivery?

    The Parcel Monkey marketplace uses a shipping calculator to find the best prices for shipping your items door to door via a range of different couriers. 

    With full tracking on almost all of our delivery services, you can follow your package from the moment it leaves you until it arrives with the recipient. We always advise providing the contact number of the recipient so that if needed, the courier can contact them to resolve any issues with the delivery.

    Some of our courier services are delivered to a local Post Office, where the recipient will need to collect the package from such as with DHL eCommerce to some remote areas so it is essential to provide a working contact number. Items shipped with Parcel Monkey are also done so DDU, so it might be that Customs need to collect payment from the recipient before delivery. We offer Customs Advice to help with the completion of any Customs Documents. 

    If you want to know more about what a courier is and how to choose the best service for your package, we can help.

  • Can I add protection cover to my order?

    When you place an order via the Parcel Monkey marketplace, during the booking process you can add protection cover to your item. As long as your item is not prohibited, has been packaged properly and you follow our Claims Procedure, you will be protected should your item be lost or damaged. 

    Some of our services offer no protection cover, but others do and some even offer free cover up to a certain value. You can view this information when you get a price via our shipping calculator. 

    Please ensure that the item is not on the prohibited items list as this will make it void.

    It is also vital to remember your package is going to be sent with global carriers, likely to be handled in various customs and airport departments so be sure to package the item correctly so it is well protected and cannot move around in the box.

  • How long will it take for my package to be delivered?

    Before you choose how to send your package, consider how quickly you need it to arrive. Transit times depend on two key factors- the shipping destination and the courier service you choose from the Parcel Monkey marketplace. 

    When choosing a courier from our marketplace, we will display an estimated delivery time, provided by the couriers themselves as they handle the goods.

    You can see how long it will take to arrive with the receiver and we advise that you share this tracking with the recipient so they can see when it is set to arrive. Always provide the recipient contact number when you book in case the delivery courier needs to contact them. 

    You can choose slower economy services such as DHL eCommerce if looking to save on the cost, or you can choose a speedy Express service that gets the package delivered more quickly like our 2-5 day International Drop Off service provided by FedEx, also available as a Pickup.
