Does Nike Ship Internationally? How to Get US Nike Running Shoes Abroad

Does Nike ship internationally from its US website? No. Nike.com in the US only delivers to home or office addresses in the United States and its territories. Its Terms of Sale also say it may cancel orders flagged as going to a freight forwarder for export. That doesn’t put US Nike running shoes out of reach. This guide explains Nike’s US shipping rules, what they mean for international buyers, and how Global Shopaholics gets US Nikes to you.

The short answer

Nike’s US store won’t ship abroad, and it limits orders going to forwarding addresses. If you want a US-only colourway, size or price, our Assisted Purchase team can buy the shoes in the US for you and ship them to your door, combined with your other US orders if you like. In short, there’s no Nike.com international shipping from the US store.

Nike’s US shipping rules in plain English

• Where does Nike.com US deliver?: Home or office addresses in the US and its territories.
• International addresses?: No. Other countries have their own Nike sites.
• Freight forwarders?: Orders flagged for freight forwarding or export may be cancelled, and accounts may be blocked.
• Free shipping?: Free for Nike Members on orders of USD 50 or more.
• Cancelling an order: Only before processing, which usually starts within 30 minutes.
• Split deliveries: Possible, with no extra delivery charge.

Nike shipping cost

Nike Membership is free to join, and members get free standard delivery on orders of USD 50 or more. Below that, and for guest checkouts, a delivery fee applies, and faster options cost more. Nike adjusts these thresholds from time to time, so check the delivery options at checkout rather than relying on an old figure. That covers the Nike shipping cost inside the US; international shipping from our warehouse is quoted separately.

How long does Nike take to ship?

Within the US, standard delivery usually takes a few business days, and express options are quicker. Nike can split one order into several deliveries. Delivery doesn’t happen on certain public holidays, and your order page shows the expected date. So how long Nike takes to ship depends mostly on the delivery option you pick at checkout.

Where does Nike ship from, and who delivers?

Nike is based in Beaverton, Oregon, and US online orders ship from Nike’s distribution centres around the country. Nike uses several national carriers, and your shipping confirmation names the one handling your parcel.

Nike and forwarding addresses

Nike’s Terms of Sale list “freight forwarding or shipping to an address or service provider that enables or allows foreign export” as a reason it can reject or cancel an order, and it says it can block or close the account too. Nike decides this at its own discretion.

Some stores limit delivery to forwarding addresses like this. When that happens, our Assisted Purchase team can place the order for you, so it isn’t your own Nike account at stake. Nike’s checkout still decides whether an order is accepted, and our team sources the same model from another US seller when that’s the better option.

How to get US Nike running shoes with Global Shopaholics

1. Global Shopaholics Assisted Purchase

Send our Assisted Purchase team the Nike.com link, model and size, such as Pegasus, Vomero, Structure or Invincible. We quote the total, buy the shoes in the US, and ship them once they reach our Delaware warehouse. It’s the simplest route for US-only colourways and US sale prices. That’s how to buy from Nike USA when you live abroad.

2. Order from US sports and department stores yourself

Many big US sports, department and discount stores sell Nike running shoes. You can order from them yourself with your US address and combine everything with us. See our guides to Dick’s Sporting Goods, Nordstrom, Macy’s and Marshalls. This is often where end-of-season prices turn up.

3. Nike By You custom shoes

Nike By You shoes are made to order and fall under the same US shipping rules. Ask our Assisted Purchase team before designing a US custom pair, and we’ll tell you whether we can order it for you. Your country’s Nike site may also offer Nike By You.

How the process works

1. Open a free account and get a US address at our warehouse in New Castle, Delaware.
2. Ask our Assisted Purchase team to buy your Nike running shoes for you, or order them yourself from a US retailer that delivers to your US address, with your suite number in address line 2.
3. We log the parcel when it arrives. Storage is free for up to 30 days, so you can wait for a second pair or other orders. Paid plans give up to 210 days of storage.
4. Choose consolidation to combine orders. Shoe boxes are bulky, so you can ask us to remove them to cut the shipping size, or keep them if you need the box.
5. Pick DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS. We process shipments in 4–5 working days and send tracking.

Delaware has no sales tax, so orders shipped to our tax-free address aren’t charged state sales tax. Insurance costs a minimum of USD 10 and up to 2% of the declared value. If a pair is the wrong size and it’s still with us, we can return it to the US retailer for USD 15. Get an estimate first with the shipping calculator.

Sizing and buying tips for running shoes

US shoe sizes differ from UK and EU sizes. A US men’s 10 is roughly a UK 9, and US women’s sizes run about two higher than UK sizes, but Nike’s own size chart is the one to trust. If you’ve worn the same model before, stick with your size in that model, because fit changes between lines. Check whether the shoe is a standard or wide fit, as wide versions aren’t always stocked abroad. And if you’re buying for a race, order early. You’ll want time for an exchange.
