The simplest way to send an alcohol gift from the USA to the UK is not to ship it at all. Posting alcohol across the Atlantic means courier restrictions, customs forms and duty for the person receiving it. Instead, order from a UK retailer that already holds the stock here.
You order on our site, enter the recipient's UK address and add a message. We dispatch from our licensed unit in Battersea, so the gift never crosses a border: no international shipping, no customs and no duty for the person receiving it. Across Greater London we deliver 24 hours a day, typically in 30–45 minutes. Elsewhere in mainland UK, choose express (1–2 business days) or standard (3–5 business days) at checkout.
| Your time zone | Hours behind London | Order at 9am your time — it is… |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern (New York, Miami) | 5 | 2pm in London |
| Central (Chicago, Dallas, Houston) | 6 | 3pm in London |
| Mountain (Denver) | 7 | 4pm in London |
| Pacific (Los Angeles, San Francisco) | 8 | 5pm in London |
For a few weeks each spring and autumn the US and UK change their clocks on different dates, and the gap is an hour shorter. Because London deliveries run 24/7, even an order placed late in your afternoon still arrives the same London evening.
