At the heart of our mission is a simple promise: to provide you with a fast, simple, and borderless shipping experience. As we move into 2026, we are conducting a strategic review of our global infrastructure to ensure we are delivering on that promise. To maintain the operational excellence you expect, we are refining our network and focusing our resources on the routes that offer the highest level of dependability and cost-efficiency. As part of this optimization, we are announcing a change for some of our UK-to-Africa corridors.
Effective January 12th, 2026, our UK Air shipping service to Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, and Rwanda will be discontinued.
Effective this date, our UK warehouse will no longer receive, process, or ship new orders destined for these specific countries.
This change allows us to move away from routes that are often subject to unpredictable delays and rising costs, ensuring that the rest of our global network remains resilient, stable, and affordable.
While the UK route is closing, a much more cost-effective door is opening. Most of the global brands you love — from tech giants to high-street fashion — are widely available in the USA and often significantly cheaper.
We encourage all UK Shipping members to transition their shopping to our Tax-Free USA Warehouse. Here is why the USA route is the smarter choice for 2026:
The USA market is highly competitive. Retail prices are frequently 15–20% lower than in the UK.
By shipping to our specialized USA hub, you bypass USA sales tax entirely — saving up to 10% instantly.
Our USA-to-Africa corridor is one of our strongest routes, with more frequent flights and seamless customs clearing.
We understand that changing your shopping routine can feel like a hurdle. Our dedicated support team is ready to help you find USA-based alternatives, provide shipment quotes, and guide you through every step.
We are committed to building a logistics network that stands the test of time, and we thank you for growing with us.
