Gap international shipping isn’t offered from gap.com: the US site only delivers within the United States, and it sends visitors from other countries to their local Gap website. Those local sites are run by franchise partners and only deliver inside their own markets. Below are Gap’s US shipping costs, which countries have their own Gap site, and how to get a Gap USA order sent abroad.
The short answer
No, Gap doesn’t ship internationally from gap.com. If you visit from abroad, Gap shows a landing page pointing to the Gap site for your region, such as Gap Australia (which also serves New Zealand), Gap UAE or Gap UK. Each delivers locally with its own prices and range. That means Gap United States orders need a US delivery address.
In the US, standard shipping costs $9.50, or $7.50 for Gap Core rewards members, and it’s free on orders of $50 or more. Gap cardholders get free shipping from $35. If you want something from the US range, order to a US address and have it forwarded.
Gap’s international setup: one brand, many websites
Outside North America, Gap is mostly run by local franchise partners. That’s why the experience changes so much from country to country. Prices, ranges, sales and return policies are set locally, and none of these sites ships to other countries.
- United States. Gap option: gap.com. Ships abroad?: No, US only.
- Canada. Gap option: Gap Canada site. Ships abroad?: Within Canada.
- Australia and New Zealand. Gap option: Gap Australia site. Ships abroad?: Within AU and NZ.
- United Kingdom. Gap option: Gap UK site. Ships abroad?: No overseas delivery.
- UAE and the Gulf. Gap option: Gap UAE and regional franchise sites. Ships abroad?: Within the region.
- Countries without a Gap site. Gap option: None. Ships abroad?: Use a US forwarding address.
Does Gap ship to Australia and New Zealand?
Gap USA doesn’t. Gap Australia’s website covers both Australia and New Zealand, so “does Gap ship to NZ” has a yes answer through that site rather than the US one. If you want a US-only style or the US sale, forward it. Australian GST on imports is explained on the Australian Border Force buying online page, and our Australia page covers shipping there.
Does Gap ship to Canada?
Not from gap.com: Gap doesn’t ship to Canada from the US site. Canada has its own Gap website. Canadians who order from the US pay GST or HST and possibly duty at the border; see the CBSA guide.
Does Gap ship to the UK?
Gap USA doesn’t, and Gap’s UK site doesn’t deliver overseas either. UK shoppers who want US styles use a forwarding address and pay VAT and any duty, as set out on GOV.UK. See our UK page.
Gap in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Africa
Gulf shoppers have local Gap stores and websites run by a franchise partner. Saudi import rules are with ZATCA. Much of Africa has no Gap site at all, so forwarding is the only option; our Angola, Nigeria and Ghana pages explain delivery.
Gap shipping cost and policy in the US
These figures are from Gap’s shipping and handling page.
- Non-member. Standard shipping: $9.50. Free shipping from: $50.
- Gap Core rewards member. Standard shipping: $7.50. Free shipping from: $50.
- Gap cardholder. Standard shipping: Free. Free shipping from: $35.
Joining Gap’s rewards programme is free and cuts the fee to $7.50, which is worth doing if your order is under $50. Gap’s free shipping threshold covers the merchandise total after discounts, so a big promo code can push you back under it.
How long does Gap take to ship?
Gap shows the estimated delivery date for each method at checkout, and faster options cost more. Orders can also ship from stores, so you might receive more than one parcel. When forwarding, add our 4–5 working days of processing before your international shipment leaves.
Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic
Gap Inc. also owns Old Navy, Banana Republic and Athleta. In the US you can often check out across these brands in one basket, which makes it easier to reach the free shipping threshold.

Tips
US sizing runs a little differently from UK and European sizing, so use the size chart on each product. Gap’s biggest discounts tend to come with sitewide percentage-off codes, and those stack nicely with consolidation if you’re buying for a family. If you only want one T-shirt, the local Gap site will usually be cheaper once shipping and tax are counted.
