Shipping from China to the UK, priced in public
Registered mail carries most UK parcels up to 2 kg. Above that it is air or ocean, quoted per shipment — and for repeat UK volume, stock held in Birmingham ships domestically instead.
Transit, before the marketing
If your UK promise is next-day, shipping from China will not deliver it. Say so now and we will point you at the Birmingham option instead.

Our UK partner facility handles domestic dispatch and returns, which removes cross-border handling from every single parcel.
Three things UK buyers notice
VAT and the IOSS question
The treatment of VAT on low-value imports has changed more than once. We confirm the current position for your goods and order values before quoting — not from memory.
Delivered-duty pricing
A UK shopper who gets a customs letter at the door is a refund waiting to happen. DDP pricing removes that surprise; we quote it where the lane supports it.
Packaging waste rules
UK packaging obligations sit with the brand, not the warehouse. Our labelling work is production, not compliance advice — check your obligations separately.
What we do before it leaves Shenzhen
- Unit-level count and condition check against your packing list
- Photographs of anything that does not match, the same day
- Weighing on calibrated scales, volumetric weight included
- Labelling to the requirement of the onward leg
- Tracking pushed back to your storefront
What we will not promise
- A fixed delivery date for every parcel
- That customs will not look at your consignment
- That a 2 kg cap can be ignored because your product is only slightly heavier
- A rate that holds through peak season without notice
