London buying agent | British stores, international shipping

London is a useful search name, not a limit on where we shop. UK Buying Agent buys from British online stores that deliver to our warehouse in the UK, including sellers people associate with London.

London is the main shopping city: Oxford Street, Regent Street, Knightsbridge, Covent Garden, Selfridges, Liberty, and Harrods. Most national websites deliver here first. A London page does not mean we only buy inside one district. We shop British online stock from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and we can attempt a specific in-store piece when you send a photo and a GBP price. Our warehouse is in the UK, not a desk in a mall. We do not buy alcohol.

How an order moves

Send one link per item when you can. Add color, UK size, and plug type in order comments. Reference prices go on the form in GBP. We answer on the order page in USD, including the service fee. First payment covers the goods and that fee. Second payment is international shipping after we weigh the packed parcel. You can ask us to hold a box at the warehouse while you add another British seller.

Service fee and the two payments

The service fee is published on pricing. We apply it when we write your order page. You see item totals and the service fee in USD before the first payment. International shipping is not guessed on this page. After the goods are at our warehouse, we weigh them and write a second USD total. Estimates, not final bills, sit on the shipping calculator. Enter the price you saw in GBP. We convert the working total to USD.

Combine sellers, then ship once

A pair of boots from one UK shop and a book from another do not need two international labels. Ask us to hold pieces at the warehouse. We combine them when the products and the paperwork allow it. Fragile pottery and heavy appliances may still need their own cartons. Service fee rules stay on pricing. Rough weight bands are on the shipping calculator. Final shipping is the weighed parcel, written in USD.

Details that save a rejected order

Tell us if the item is a gift, if it must stay sealed, or if you need a photo of the size tab. UK clothing sizes do not match US sizes. A UK 12 is not a US 12. British plugs are Type G, and mains power is about 230V. A kettle or hair dryer from the UK may be useless on a 110V outlet. Summer heat is hard on chocolate and some creams. Mention heat if the goods will sit before the second payment. We buy only the item you approved.

If the seller changes the offer

If London comes back with a different size, a missing piece, or a higher GBP price, we pause. The live cart goes on your order page in USD. You can accept it or tell us to drop the line. We would rather lose the sale than ship a surprise.

Plugs, VAT, and click and collect

A low GBP price on London can hide a Type G plug or a 230V motor. Say which country the goods must work in. British shelf prices usually include VAT. We do not promise to strip that tax. Click and collect only works if the shop will also deliver to our warehouse, or if we agreed an in-store visit in order comments.
