Shipping to United Kingdom

What to expect on the United Kingdom lane.

L5 ships to United Kingdom via DHL, FedEx, USPS, UPS, with end-to-end tracking, DDP and DDU options, and customs documentation generated automatically from your shipment data.

Typical transit: 2–4 business days. Common imports include dtc retail, apparel, beauty.

For high-volume United Kingdom shippers we can pre-clear known SKUs to reduce customs holds, set up DDP collection so your customers never see a surprise duty bill, and route packages through whichever carrier offers the best balance of price, transit time, and customs reliability for that specific destination.

— Customs essentials

  • DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): you pay duties upfront; the recipient sees no surprises. Best for B2C.
  • DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid): recipient pays on import. Cheaper but adds friction at delivery.
  • Commercial invoice + HS codes: auto-generated from your shipment data.
  • Restricted items: we'll confirm feasibility upfront for lithium batteries, hazmat, and regulated SKUs.
