Couriers who ship from the US to the UK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who ships to the UK? There are lots of courier options available, but the big four are USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL. Below we break down the differences in service levels for shipping to the UK, including price and transit times for the couriers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only USPS offers flat rates to ship from the US to the UK. All other prices were calculated using the respective courier\u2019s pricing calculators for a 5 lb package in March 2023. Prices are subject to change.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: These are general options for consumers shipping orders. You will always want to factor in additional import duties and fees that have increased significantly post-Brexit.

1. USPS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

USPS is a great option for UK shipping due to its flat rate shipping so you can easily <\/span>forecast shipping costs<\/span><\/a>. Similar to other couriers, <\/span>USPS<\/span><\/a> rates depend on the weight of the package and delivery timeline. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is one major con to using USPS for shipping to the UK: tracking packages no longer works once they leave the US. USPS packages are transferred to Royal Mail once they reach the UK. This may take anywhere from a few hours to days or even weeks and can delay delivery times.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
