Why is my package from the UK taking so long on eBay?
- Many buyers choose to shop on eBay UK as it offers an amazing selection of items from all over the globe.

Royal Mail to USA
Royal Mail (or ParcelForce, depending on your region) is not fast. As of right now, it takes anywhere from 25 days to over a month to go through customs and get delivered to the US. In addition, if you choose to use priority shipping, it’s likely that they will only deliver when they feel like it. If you’re going to use Royal Mail then expect your parcel to take at least six weeks to arrive

UK customs clearance is a government service which ensures that all incoming items are compliant with the laws and regulations of your country. Since this can take several days to process, we recommend you send your package at least 10 days before your event. You can only pay for international shipment through Visa or Mastercard, not Paypal upon checkout
