How do we offer such cheap international shipping rates?
It’s quite simple really, it’s all down to the number of parcel delivery services we book with our courier partners. Due to the large volume of parcels we send, we benefit from discounted rates with some of the industry's most well-known and respected shipping companies. We then pass on this discount to our customers, allowing us to offer you the best international shipping services available at a lower price.
Top tip: Always check the delivery time. Typically, economy services have longer transit times, so when you get a quote, make sure you compare transit times as well as price.

International shipping times
When you ship a package overseas, it’s important to consider how quickly you would like it to arrive. International shipping times vary depending on how far your package needs to travel, so if it's a long haul destination, make sure you allow sufficient shipping time. If you’re shipping internationally to a neighbouring country, for example, the USA to Canada, delivery could be as quick as next working day.
Major destinations such as Europe are well networked with vast transport links so you can expect quick transit times compared to shipping to more remote areas of the world. Using our shipping calculator, you’ll be able to compare transit times and choose from a range of expedited delivery and economy international shipping services.
