How much does shipping from China to the UK cost?

One of the advantages of shipping with Ship24 is that you will never have any surprise fees because there are four fixed prices to choose from which depend solely on the weight of your parcel, not the value inside, the pick-up point or the destination.

Does the price of shipping to the UK include DDU?

All parcels are sent Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) which means that you should receive no further import tax fees as long as the value of your parcel does not exceed the parcel value you stated when being sent. If upon arrival, your parcel's value is found to exceed that the sender will incur any relevant import tax fees or face their parcel being rejected.

The Ship24 fixed prices are designed to cover the tax threshold of destination countries so that the receiver will not pay any delivery duty tax/import tax. For exceptions, please check with your parcel's destination country as Ship24 is not responsible for wrongly valued parcel valuations resulting in import tax fees.

What happens if I enter the UK destination address wrong?

A wrongly entered address may result in the parcel not being able to be delivered upon arrival. If you realise you have entered the wrong address, you can contact Ship24 within 6 hours to change the address. There will be a fee of 50 RMB to change your address at this point. Once a parcel has left China, it is unlikely it can be changed. However, if it can be changed, Ship24 will charge 100 RMB.

If Ship24 cannot make the change at this point, you may be able to contact the handler to change the address, although this is out of control of Ship24 and therefore cannot be guaranteed. Ship24 is not responsible for failure to deliver on parcels that do not have the correct address.

Can I schedule the pick-up for my parcel being sent from China to the UK?

Are there any item limitations with packages shipped from China to the UK?

If you ship with Ship24 from China to the UK, there are some items that are prohibited such as:

If you are unsure whether an item you wish to send is prohibited, check with UK customs or the Ship24 prohibited items page for more details, to ensure your parcel is not rejected. Every parcel picked up by our partners is scanned to make sure it does not contain any of the aforementioned.

What are the customs duties when I ship from China to the UK?

You will only have to pay customs charges to the UK customs authorities if the declared value of your parcel exceeds 15 GBP. This is the maximum value a parcel can be before being subject to import tax.

The cost of the import tax will be the responsibility of the sender.
