Optimizing Your Global Shipping Experience

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.

The Transition: UK to Africa Shipping

Effective January 12th, 2026, our UK Air shipping service to Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, and Rwanda will be discontinued.

Note: UK services to Ghana and Kenya remain fully operational and are not affected by this change.

What This Means for You

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.

The Solution: Unlock the USA Shipping Advantage

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:

Significant Cost Savings

The USA market is highly competitive. Retail prices are frequently 15–20% lower than in the UK.

0% Sales Tax

By shipping to our specialized USA hub, you bypass USA sales tax entirely — saving up to 10% instantly.

Superior Reliability

Our USA-to-Africa corridor is one of our strongest routes, with more frequent flights and seamless customs clearing.
