How much does it cost?
Registration is absolutely free!
How much you pay for your delivery is all down to the size of what you have purchased. Our pricing is based on volumetrics, i.e. how much room (in cubic metres) your ready-to-ship order takes up in our shipping container, the number of boxes it comes in and the weight of each box. Products come in all shapes and sizes and retailers have different methods and policies for packing products ready for shipping.
To make it all as easy as possible for you we have mapped these variables to our pricing structure. To find out how much any item will cost to ship simply use the drop down menus situated in the arrange a delivery page.
As a guide our services start at £4.50 for up to five items of clothing, an iPad would cost £12.50 to deliver and a washing machine only £73.
We have made every effort to include as many items as possible. Inevitably there will be some more specific items that we have yet to create. If the item you have purchased does not appear in our menus call Customer Services on 0845 800 1034 and we will create it for you (if you know the height, width,depth and weight it would be a great help).

How long will it take?
Once your purchase arrives at our UK warehouse, we can normally deliver it to you within three working days after the day we receive it. However, all orders are subject to the current shipping schedules and to Customs clearance so it can take up to six working days for some items at certain times of year. Larger items will take up to a seven working days from reciept and will usually be delivered by arrangement.

What about more complicated orders?
For more complicated orders, very large orders, or orders consisting of multiple items from various retailers, we are more than happy to assist. Please contact us by emailing customer.service@ship2me.co.uk or by calling us on 0845 800 1034.

What address do I use?
When you make a purchase from an EU or UK retailer who is unable to offer Channel Island delivery, either online, over the phone or at a shop, you need to give them your full name, followed by your unique Ship2me customer number and Ship2me UK warehouse address. These details are issued to you when you become a registered Ship2me customer, and are always displayed in the top right hand corner of the Ship2me website when you are logged in.
Most online retailers ask for an invoice/billing address and a separate delivery address. You should use the following addresses:
-
Invoice/billing address: your usual home address
-
Delivery address: your unique Ship2me number and the Ship2me warehouse address.
Then, once you have made your purchase, you will need to log in to the Ship2me website and arrange delivery of your goods from the UK to your door using your Channel Island address.
Once your order arrives at the UK warehouse, we aim to deliver your goods to you within 3 working days. However, please note that all orders are subject to shipping times and Customs clearance.

Do I have to pay GST on goods I have delivered by Ship2me?
The States of Jersey Customs and Immigration Service has published a guide for private importers of goods bought online or from retailers outside of Jersey. This guide provides advice to assist in the efficient Customs clearance of these goods.
It is important that all private importers of goods from outside of the Channel Islands understand the regulations surrounding GST and the circumstances in which it is payable
For the purposes of GST, States of Jersey Customs look at the total value of the consignment and whether the total GST and duty liabilities exceed the de minimis waiver. The total order consignment value includes:
- The cost of the actual item (including VAT if paid)
- Packaging costs
- All freighting/delivery charges from the retailer to Jersey
- Any insurance that was purchased or included by the retailer
- Plus any other associated Customs duties which may be applicable.
GST will be charged on the total sum of these values.
To help illustrate the regulations surrounding payment of GST on imported goods, here are some example scenarios:
Example 1
Chair £100 Including VAT
Retailer Carriage £20 Including VAT
Ship2me Carriage £55
Insurance £10
Total £185
As this total gives rise to a liability below the Jersey de-minimis level, the GST charge is waived.
Example 2
Chairs (2) £600 Including VAT
Retailer Carriage £20 Including VAT
Ship2me Carriage £110
Insurance £10
Total £740
As this total gives rise to a charge above the Jersey de-minimis level, GST is liable at 5% of the total order value (£740). In this instance, the customer would be liable for a GST charge of £37.00.

Do I have to pay VAT on goods purchased online or on the UK mainland?
UK retailers are not legally obliged to refund VAT for purchases made by Channel Island residents who are then exporting the items back to the Channel Islands. However, UK retailers are often willing to consider giving a retrospective VAT refund when a consumer can demonstrate that an item has been exported from the UK to the Channel Islands..
In order to do this, certain documentation needs to be provided to the retailer and to Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) in the UK.
If you would like to reclaim any VAT paid on your purchases, Ship2me may be able to assist and you should contact our Customer Service Team for further information on 0845 800 1034, or email customer.service@ship2me.co.uk

Do I have to register online to use Ship2me?
Yes, we recommend that even if you are not planning on shopping or visiting the UK immediately, you should register for Ship2me through the website as we are unable to register customers over the phone.
back to top
What do you do with the personal information I give you?
Ship2me will only use the information you give us to provide the Ship2me service. Ship2me's privacy policy can be found here.
You should check the privacy policy and any applicable terms and conditions of any retailer from whom you are buying any products as their terms relating to your personal information may differ from Ship2me. In particular, if you are buying a television from a UK retailer, you should be aware that many UK retailers will automatically provide your personal details to TV Licensing who may then contact you directly if you do not already have a TV licence.
