American Furniture shipped to UK

[Livelovelife2]

Hey guys...

I’ve seen a side table that I absolutely love...

I found it in American websites and with shipping and taxes the price isn’t bad. However the reviews on these websites aren’t great ☹️

I did manage to find it here but it’s double the price! Which is insane and driving me insane too.

Has anyone had experience buying and shipping from the US? What furniture websites did you use?

I’m just confused should I just order from the website despite their reviews 😔

What’s the site?

Well I’m looking at lighting New York and dellacor

I bought a tap from the us via lightinthebox. I only read their bad reviews after putting the order, totally panicked but received it fine.

I've never heard of those, sorry. Thought I might be able to help since I've shopped from a lot of American sites. It doesn't seem worth it to buy from the US here with all the extra charges for customs, etc.

kismet I know what you mean but it’s thats what I mean... it’s cheaper with taxes and shipping than in the UK.

I just contacted the people who supply it here to bargain but they will not bring the item into stock anymore. ☹️

Remember that anything over the value of about £18 (if I remember correctly) will incur a customs charge. So you'll pay VAT plus a hefty customs handling fee 🤓

Laucu I know but it over a £1,500 here and by shipping it’s still under £800

Oh wow! And that's with the customs charge that parcelforce slap on? That's still a massive difference.

It’s the price, plus shipping (fedex economy)plus tax.. but the reviews of the website are mixed..hence my hesitation 😣
