Send a Cheap Parcel to the USA

Exporting to the USA

For private shippers or businesses of any size, international shipping need not be an obstacle with our highly affordable rates. We've got a huge range of services including tracked mail, economy and express, and freight.

Sending mail to the USA

Our USPS mail service is extremely cost-effective for documents and lighter parcels weighing up to 5kg. It's a cheap and reliable alternative to Royal Mail.

Customs information for the USA

While US Customs and import laws are known for being quite tough, the majority of commercial and personal parcels reach their destination without a hitch.

To ensure that your items won’t be stopped by US Customs, first check our general list of prohibited and restricted items. Each country imposes its own additional restrictions, so you will need to consult the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website.

Certain items may be subject to customs duties and taxes, which are not included in your quote. For the most part, the carrier will liaise with you directly in the event that any customs fees need to be paid.

Up to $800 worth of merchandise can be imported free of customs taxes and duties, and without the need of a customs declaration.

If you're shipping unaccompanied personal effects, such as clothing, please use this declaration:

• US Declaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles
• Instructions for completing the US Declaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles

Transit times to the USA

Transit times can be as little as a day between major gateway cities such as London to Los Angeles or New York—next-day delivery is available with our range of express services. These short transit times are possible because the US is so well-served by carriers.

For our cheaper economy services, transit times can stretch to approximately 4 days. Deliveries to remote areas will add further time to transit—please use our transit time calculators, and input your postcodes, for a more accurate estimate.
