Using Stackry.com to forward orders from US Retailers to England in the UK. So far orders are processed reasonably promptly (7 days after instruction to consolidate and release for shipment). Packaging is sized to just fit the consolidated contents so no wastage. Photographs delivered next working day.
Be prepared for sticker shock when the shipping options are presented. Not much choice (am looking into opening an account the Global Freight Forwarders). So far shipping costs are running about 130% of the value of the goods being sent.
No issues with UK Customs, normally pass through within 48hrs of arrival, and packages arrive within 4 working days of arriving at Heathrow.
