Does H&M Ship Internationally? H&M Shipping Costs, Delivery Times and Getting US Orders Abroad

Does H&M ship internationally? Not from its US website. The US store at hm.com/en_us only delivers to addresses inside the United States, and H&M runs separate online shops for other countries, each with its own prices, stock and delivery rules. So the answer depends on what you want. If your country has its own H&M site and it stocks the item, buy there. If the piece is only on the US site, or it’s cheaper there, you’ll need a US address to receive it and a way to get it to you.

The short answer

H&M US standard shipping costs USD 6.99 and is free over USD 75, or over USD 50 if you’re signed in as an H&M member. Standard delivery takes 3–6 business days inside the US. Express is USD 14.99 (2–3 business days) and next-day is USD 24.99 (1–2 business days). None of these options reach an address outside the US.

To buy from the US site from abroad, ship the order to a US forwarding address, then have it sent on to your country with a tracked international carrier. That’s how most of our customers buy H&M US, usually alongside orders from other American shops.

Why the US H&M site won’t ship to your country

H&M is a Swedish company that sells in dozens of markets, and each market has its own web store. The US site is set up for American addresses, American sizing notes and US product rules. H&M’s US terms even point out that the merchandise is intended to meet US laws and regulations, and that other countries may have different requirements. That’s why there’s no H&M international shipping from the US store. Shoppers on a local site, such as H&M NZ in New Zealand, see their own prices and stock rather than the US range.

The practical result is that the US site’s checkout won’t accept a foreign delivery address. It isn’t a bug and there’s no setting to change. You either shop on your local H&M site, or you give the US site a US address.

Plenty of people do the second. US collaborations, US-only sizes, sale prices that don’t appear elsewhere and items that sell out locally are the usual reasons. Prices can also differ between the US site and your local one, so it’s worth comparing the same item on both before you decide.

H&M US shipping costs and options

These are the delivery options listed on H&M’s US order and delivery page. Times are business days after the order ships.

• Standard (members). Price: Free over USD 50, otherwise USD 6.99. Delivery time: 3–6 business days.
• Standard (non-members). Price: Free over USD 75, otherwise USD 6.99. Delivery time: 3–6 business days.
• Express. Price: USD 14.99. Delivery time: 2–3 business days.
• Next day. Price: USD 24.99. Delivery time: 1–2 business days.
• UPS Access Point. Price: Free over USD 75 (USD 50 for members), otherwise USD 6.99. Delivery time: Shown at checkout.

H&M also says an order can arrive in more than one parcel at no extra cost. That matters if you’re shipping to a forwarding address, because you’ll want to wait until every part has arrived before sending the lot abroad.

One limit to know about: H&M HOME furniture, shelving, lighting and rugs can only go by standard shipping within the continental US. Delaware is in the continental US, so these can still be delivered to our warehouse, but they’re bulky and expensive to send overseas. Check the size and weight first with our shipping calculator.

Does H&M have free shipping?

Yes, within the US. Non-members get free standard shipping over USD 75 and members over USD 50. Joining H&M’s membership is free, and the US membership page also lists free online returns as a perk. If you’re sending the parcel to a US address and forwarding it, sign in as a member and keep the basket above USD 50. The US leg then costs nothing, and you only pay for the international part.

Does H&M do same-day delivery?

The US delivery page lists standard, express, next-day and UPS Access Point options. There’s no same-day home delivery listed online. In some cities you can buy in store or pick up there instead, but that doesn’t help if you’re abroad.

How long does H&M take to ship?

Inside the US, standard delivery takes 3–6 business days, express 2–3 and next-day 1–2. Business days are Monday to Friday, so an order placed on a Friday evening usually starts moving the following week.

When you use a forwarding address, add our side of the trip. Once the parcel reaches our warehouse, we process outgoing shipments in 4–5 working days, then the international carrier takes over. Here’s a rough idea of door-to-door time with standard US delivery to us and an express international service from us:

• UK, Canada: About 2 weeks.
• Saudi Arabia, UAE: About 2 to 2½ weeks.
• Australia: About 2 to 3 weeks.
• Angola, Ghana, Nigeria: About 2½ to 3½ weeks, plus any customs hold.

These are estimates, not promises. Customs checks, holidays and big H&M sales can all add days.

Where does H&M ship from, and who does H&M ship with?

US online orders leave from H&M’s distribution network inside the United States, which is why several items in one order can turn up separately. H&M doesn’t publish a single fixed carrier for home delivery. It offers UPS Access Point collection as an option, and your shipping confirmation email shows which company is handling your parcel and the tracking link.

When the order comes to us, the carrier for the international leg is your choice. Depending on your country, you can pick DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS when you pay for the shipment.

Shopping H&M from the UK, the Gulf, Australia and Africa

United Kingdom

H&M has its own UK site, so for everyday basics that’s usually the simplest route. The US site is worth a look for items the UK doesn’t stock. Goods sent from the US are liable for VAT, and customs duty may apply above GBP 135. The UK government sets this out in its guide to tax and duty on goods sent from abroad. Our UK page explains how forwarding from the US works for British customers.

Saudi Arabia and the UAE

H&M is sold in the Gulf through local stores and websites, but ranges and sizes vary and US collaborations often don’t appear. Customers in Saudi Arabia and the UAE often combine an H&M order with clothes from other US shops to make one international shipment worth it. Import rules are set by ZATCA in Saudi Arabia and by Dubai Customs for deliveries into Dubai.

Australia

Australia has its own H&M site too. If you’re ordering from the US instead, GST normally applies to low-value imports and is collected either by the seller or at the border. The Australian Border Force explains how GST on low-value goods works. See our Australia page for delivery options.

Angola, Ghana and Nigeria

Where there’s no local H&M online store, the US site plus a forwarding address is often the only way to order online. Customers in Angola, Ghana and Nigeria tend to pick a courier service for the international leg because the tracking is clearer and customs clearance is usually quicker than postal options.

How to order from H&M US and ship it abroad

This is the process with Global Shopaholics:

Step 1: Sign up for your free US address

Sign up for free and you’ll get a personal US address at our warehouse in New Castle, Delaware. Your suite number goes in address line 2 and tells us the parcel is yours. Delaware has no sales tax, which is why we call it a tax-free US address.

Step 2: Shop on hm.com/en_us

Shop on hm.com/en_us. Sign in as an H&M member, add your items and enter your Global Shopaholics address at checkout. Standard shipping is fine, as we’ll hold the parcel when it arrives.

Add the items you want to your cart on hm.com/en_us.

Enter your Global Shopaholics address, with your suite number in address line 2, at checkout.

Step 3: We log and store your parcels

When H&M’s parcels reach us, they show up in your account. Storage is free for up to 30 days, so you can wait for split shipments or orders from other shops. Paid membership plans give you up to 210 days of storage.

Step 4: Combine your parcels

Ask for consolidation if you have more than one parcel. H&M tends to use roomy boxes and bags, and we can remove extra packaging and repack everything more tightly so you pay for less volume.

Step 5: Choose a carrier and ship

Pick DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS for the trip to your country, add insurance if you want it, and pay. We process the shipment in 4–5 working days and send you a tracking number.

Insurance costs a minimum of USD 10 and up to 2% of the value you declare. If something’s the wrong size and it’s still at our warehouse, we can send it back to H&M for you for USD 15 per return. Can’t pay with your card on the US site? Our assisted purchase service can place the order for you. The how it works page has the full details.

Your local H&M site vs. H&M US through Global Shopaholics

• Available where. Local H&M site: Only countries with an H&M online store. H&M US via Global Shopaholics: Worldwide.
• Range. Local H&M site: Your country’s range. H&M US via Global Shopaholics: The full US range, including US-only items.
• Mix with other US shops. Local H&M site: No. H&M US via Global Shopaholics: Yes, in one box.
• Returns. Local H&M site: Local returns, usually simplest. H&M US via Global Shopaholics: USD 15 per return while items are at our warehouse.
• Duties and taxes. Local H&M site: Usually included in local prices. H&M US via Global Shopaholics: Paid on import, depending on your country.

If your local site has what you want at a fair price, it’s often the easier option. The US route makes sense for things you can’t get locally, or when you’re already shipping other US orders.

Ways to keep your H&M shipping cost down

Sign in as a member so the free shipping threshold drops to USD 50. Wait for every part of a split order to reach us before you ship. Combine H&M with other US clothing orders, for example from Zara, Uniqlo, Gap or Forever 21, so you pay for one international parcel instead of several. Clothes are light but bulky, so asking us to remove shoe boxes and extra packaging can make a real difference to the volumetric weight. And declare the true value, which keeps customs simple and your insurance valid.

H&M tracking and return policy for overseas shoppers

H&M emails a shipping confirmation once your order leaves its warehouse, and you can also look the order up with your order number in H&M’s customer service centre. When the parcel arrives at our warehouse, it appears in your Global Shopaholics account, and you get a new international tracking number once we ship it.

H&M’s US returns are built around US addresses and stores. If you want to return something, decide before it leaves the US. While it’s still with us, we can send it back to H&M for USD 15. Once it’s in your country, returning it to a US store becomes slow and expensive.

Frequently asked questions

Does H&M ship internationally?

Not from its US website, which only delivers to US addresses. H&M runs separate online stores in many countries, each with its own range and prices. If you want something from the US site, you can send it to a US forwarding address with Global Shopaholics and have it shipped on to almost any country.

How much is H&M shipping?

In the US, standard shipping is USD 6.99, or free over USD 75 for non-members and over USD 50 for members. Express costs USD 14.99 and next-day costs USD 24.99. International shipping from a forwarding address is priced separately by weight and size.

Does H&M have free shipping?

Yes, for US addresses. Free standard shipping starts at USD 75 for guests and USD 50 for signed-in H&M members. Membership is free to join. Shipping to a US forwarding address qualifies too, so you only pay for the international part.

How long does H&M take to ship?

US standard delivery takes 3–6 business days after dispatch, express 2–3 and next-day 1–2. If you’re abroad and using a forwarding service, add 4–5 working days of processing plus international transit, which is usually a few days by courier.

Where does H&M ship from in the US?

US online orders are sent from H&M’s distribution centres inside the United States. Large orders may come from more than one location, which is why they sometimes arrive as separate parcels at no extra charge.

Who does H&M ship with?

H&M doesn’t name a single home delivery carrier, but it offers UPS Access Point collection in the US. Your shipping confirmation email shows the carrier and the tracking link for your order. With Global Shopaholics, you choose DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS for the international leg.

Does H&M do same-day delivery?

H&M’s US delivery page lists standard, express, next-day and UPS Access Point options, but not same-day home delivery. The quickest listed option is next-day shipping at USD 24.99, which arrives in 1–2 business days within the US.

Can I return H&M items if I live outside the US?

Returns from abroad are hard because H&M US returns are designed for US addresses and stores. If you shop through Global Shopaholics, decide before your parcel leaves our warehouse. We can send unwanted items back to H&M for USD 15 per return. The H&M return policy on the US site is written for US addresses, so returns are easiest while your order is still at our warehouse.

Will I pay customs duty on an H&M order?

Possibly. Orders shipped from the US are treated as imports, so VAT, GST or duty may be due depending on your country’s rules and the value of the parcel. Local H&M sites usually include these in their prices, while forwarded orders pay them on arrival.

How we checked this

We took H&M’s US delivery options, prices and free shipping thresholds from its order and delivery page on 30 October 2026, and checked membership perks on the H&M membership page and its terms of use. H&M changes prices and thresholds from time to time, so the checkout page always has the final word. Global Shopaholics details (storage, processing, insurance and return fees) come from our current service terms.
