Shipping to the UK: a pre-payment checklist

The details worth checking before choosing an international route.

• Confirm the packed weight and dimensions, not an estimate for the unboxed item.
• Check which destination and goods restrictions apply to the route.
• Read the current compensation or insurance terms before relying on them.
• Keep import charges separate from the carrier quote.

Routes, prices and delivery estimates change. Use the platform’s live quote rather than an old screenshot or community estimate.
