We share real customer shipping cases so others can clearly see how the shipping process works. If you plan to ship similar items, this real case can guide you and help you prepare better.

Where, when, and how did we ship the alloy wheels from the USA to the UK?

The customer found us through our website. At first, he simply mentioned that he needed to ship car parts — specifically alloy wheels — from the United States to England, without providing many details. After we followed up, he clarified that he had two boxes, each slightly smaller than expected, measuring 24x24x11 inches and weighing 31 lbs instead of 35 lbs.

We provided him with a very competitive quote and explained the details:

  • Air shipping service: approximately 3–5 business days

  • Insurance: 2% of the declared value (optional)

  • Door-to-door delivery for convenience

  • Full tracking for real-time shipment updates

We also reminded him that customs clearance, duties, and taxes are the recipient’s responsibility, and packing services are not included, so products should be properly boxed, crated, or palletized before pickup.

The customer was satisfied with the pricing and finalized the package details:

  • 2 front wheels: 23x23x12 inches, 31 lbs each

  • 2 rear wheels: 24x24x13 inches, 33 lbs each

We updated the quote accordingly, and he accepted it. After receiving full shipper and recipient information, we created the labels and scheduled pickup for the next business day.

The shipment moved quickly — it arrived in the UK within 4 business days. While the packages were in transit, the recipient completed customs clearance, so the wheels stayed in customs for only one day and were delivered within two more business days. The total shipping time was just 7 business days.

The customer was very impressed with our fast service and left us a great review. If you’re shipping similar items, don’t worry — the process is smooth. For customs clearance, He only need to provide the purchase invoice and personal information.
