Target, Walmart, Costco, Ulta and plenty of other US retailers do not ship to the UK. Global Shopaholics lets you buy and ship from the US to the United Kingdom anyway: get a free, tax-free US address for the United Kingdom at our Delaware warehouse, use it at checkout on any US site, and we receive, photograph and store your parcels. When you are ready, we consolidate them into one box and ship it with DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Belfast or any UK postcode.

VAT (20% standard rate) applies to all imports except gifts of £39 or less. At £135 or less, VAT is charged at the point of sale, and no duty is due on non-excise goods. Above £135, VAT and duty are paid on import. Customs duties and taxes are not included in our shipping rates; they are charged under UK customs rules.
Extra charges apply to perfume. Lithium batteries, aerosols and liquids need special handling. Items banned by the carrier or by customs in the UK can't be shipped; see our FAQs for prohibited items or read how it works.
Delivery takes 3 to 15 days, depending on the carrier service you choose: DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS, all with tracking. Standard processing takes 4–5 working days once you request shipment. For cheap shipping from the US to the UK, let several orders arrive at your Delaware address and ship them together in one box. It is the cheapest way to ship to the UK. For large or heavy items, our courier service is a simple alternative to freight to the UK. We deliver to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Bristol.
Free storage is 30 days on Basic, 180 on Premium (US$9.99/month) and 210 on Business (US$14.99/month), and paid plans earn 2% or 3% cashback. Get an instant quote in the shipping calculator for the United Kingdom or compare our subscription plans.
