Everything UK shoppers ask before buying from overseas marketplaces.
Is it safe to buy from AliExpress or Temu in the UK?
Yes. Both are established marketplaces with buyer protection on eligible orders. As with any marketplace, quality varies by seller — so check store ratings and recent reviews, and always pay through the platform so you stay covered. See our buying guides for more.
Will I have to pay customs or import charges?
For orders of £135 or less, UK VAT is normally collected at checkout, so you should not pay extra on delivery. Larger orders can attract import VAT, customs duty and a handling fee. Use our free Import Cost Calculator to estimate the true landed cost first.
How long does delivery to the UK take?
It depends on the item and shipping method. Many popular products now ship from UK or EU warehouses in about a week, while items sent directly from Asia can take two to four weeks. Always check the estimated delivery date on the listing before ordering.
Are the prices on BestPrice.uk live?
No — the prices and comparisons shown here are illustrative examples to guide your search. Marketplace prices change constantly, so always confirm the live price on the retailer's own website before you buy.
How does BestPrice.uk make money?
We earn a small commission when you buy through some of our links, at no extra cost to you, and we display ads. This never changes the price you pay or the guidance we give. See our Affiliate Disclosure.

How UK import charges work (2026)
When you buy from overseas marketplaces like AliExpress or Temu, the sticker price isn't always the final price. Here's the short version for UK shoppers:
The £135 threshold
For consignments worth £135 or less, UK VAT is collected by the seller at checkout. That means you usually pay nothing extra when the parcel arrives — the price you see is close to the price you pay.
Orders over £135
Above £135, charges are collected before delivery and typically include:
- Import VAT — 20% of the item + shipping (and any duty).
- Customs duty — depends on the product. Many electronics are 0%, while clothing can be around 12%. The exact rate depends on the item's commodity code.
- Carrier handling fee — Royal Mail or the courier charges a fee (often around £8–£12) for processing the import.
How to save money
- Keep single orders at or under £135 to avoid import VAT and handling fees on delivery.
- Check whether the seller shows a "VAT included" price at checkout — most compliant AliExpress/Temu listings do for UK buyers.
- Factor shipping into the total — a cheap item with pricey shipping can tip you over £135.
This calculator gives a simplified estimate to help you plan — it is not tax advice. Duty rates and rules can change; for exact figures see the official guidance at gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad.
