Straight talk: Liu Jo runs a UK store, so a single simple order belongs there. Our free Italian address earns its keep when a piece is gone from the GB shop but still live on liujo.com/it — or when Liu Jo is one bag in a bigger Italian haul you want shipped as one parcel.
Liu Jo is Carpi's €489-million glam machine — Bottom Up push-up denim, occasion dresses, logo-charm bags, menswear and kids — and its GB store quotes prices with taxes and duties included plus £18.50 standard shipping per order. The Italian home store is a different animal: euro pricing set for Liu Jo's biggest market and the assortment the brand maintains at home, where a wash or size that has vanished from the GB shop can still be sitting in stock. Route it to your free Italian address, let it meet your other Italian orders — including the many Italian boutiques that never ship to the UK — and cross the Channel once, as one box. Shipping time from Europe to the United Kingdom depends on the carrier and service level you choose. Resendify handles the UK import declaration and the VAT paperwork, and the calculator prices your parcel before you commit.
Use the Italian store as the deep end of the pool, not a mirror of the GB shop. Its core is the denim wall: Bottom Up — Liu Jo's push-up denim with lifting back seams — across skinny, slim, straight, flare and bootcut, much of it now in the lower-impact Better Denim fabrics (a flare listed at €169 in July 2026). Around it, the glam wardrobe: occasion and slip dresses, silk-touch blouses, tailored blazers, and the accessories that travel lightest — logo-charm handbags, crossbody and belt bags. The Italian store is also where the whole family range lives: menswear plus kids from newborn to girls 8–16. The practical UK play is the sold-out hunt: each country store sells its own stock, so a wash or an IT size that has vanished from liujo.com/gb can still be live on /it. Add whatever else your Italian haul needs — boutiques that never ship to the UK included — and forward once.

Liu Jo's GB store charges £18.50 standard or £25.50 express per order. Order three times in a season and you have paid more in delivery than one consolidated parcel from Italy would cost.
Each Liu Jo country store sells its own stock, so a Bottom Up wash or an IT 42 that is gone on the GB shop can still be available on liujo.com/it — reachable only with an Italian delivery address.
Liu Jo ships to the UK, but many Italian boutiques and outlets you would buy alongside it do not. A single Italian address collects everything and sends it as one UK-bound box.
Liu Jo labels womenswear in Italian sizes, and the fastest UK conversion is: IT size minus 32 ≈ UK size (IT 42 → UK 10, IT 44 → UK 12). Don't guess from S/M/L alone — Italian glam tailoring is cut close, and Bottom Up denim is engineered snug through hip and seat on purpose, so if you sit between sizes, take the larger. Most Liu Jo denim runs on inch waist sizes (25–33) like premium UK denim, so your usual jean waist is the safer reference than your dress size. Shoes are EU-sized: EU 38 ≈ UK 5, EU 39 ≈ UK 6. The stakes are higher than a domestic GB-store order because a forwarded return travels back to Italy at your cost — so spend one minute with the product's measurement chart against a garment you own. If a piece arrives at our Italian warehouse and photos show the wrong item, we can help you deal with it before it ever crosses the Channel.
| IT size | UK | US | Bust (approx) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 38 (XS) | 6 | 0–2 | 80 cm |
| 40 (S) | 8 | 4 | 84 cm |
| 42 (M) | 10 | 6 | 88 cm |

Here is the version most forwarders won't tell you. The UK has a single number that controls everything: GBP 135 per consignment, measured on the goods value alone (shipping and insurance don't count). At or below GBP 135, there is no customs duty, and the overseas seller charges 20% UK VAT at checkout. Above GBP 135, the carrier collects import VAT (and any duty) when it delivers and adds a handling fee. Note the dates: the GBP 135 duty relief is still in force today — its abolition was announced in the Autumn Budget 2025 but is future-dated 'by March 2029 at the latest,' so it does not apply now. There is no VAT-free threshold for commercial goods: above GBP 135 the 20% import VAT is charged on the full value, not just the part over GBP 135. Only genuine person-to-person gifts up to GBP 39 are VAT-free.
Duty itself is often 0% on EU-origin goods: under the UK-EU trade agreement (TCA), a valid statement of origin gets you 0% duty. Without it, standard MFN rates apply — roughly 12% on clothing, 8% on footwear, 2% on leather goods — while perfume, cosmetics, phones and laptops are 0% anyway. One caveat we won't sugarcoat: shipping to an EU forwarding address counts as a domestic EU sale, so EU VAT is charged and a private buyer generally cannot reclaim it. The tourist refund requires you to personally export the goods with a customs stamp — a forwarder cannot do that for you. So before you ship, we estimate your full landed cost — item + shipping + estimated duty — so you can plan with a realistic estimate. Create your free EU forwarding address and run the calculator.

Here is the part other forwarding sites skip. Buying on liujo.com/it and shipping to our Italian warehouse is a domestic Italian sale, so Italian VAT is baked into the euro price and cannot be refunded — the tourist tax-free scheme requires you to personally carry goods out of the EU, which no forwarder can do for you. Then, when your box lands in the UK, the courier collects 20% UK import VAT on the parcel (plus a handling fee) before delivery. Goods worth £135 or less attract no customs duty; above £135, duty is 0% only if the goods qualify as EU preferential origin under the UK–EU trade agreement with proof on the invoice — otherwise clothing runs around 12% and footwear around 8%. Compare that with the GB store's tax-inclusive pricing and £18.50 delivery, and the honest conclusion is: forward for access and consolidation, not for a tax win. That is exactly why we estimate your complete landed cost before anything ships.
Italian VAT is included in liujo.com prices and is not refundable via forwarding. Forwarded parcels to the UK: import VAT 20% collected by the courier plus handling fee; no duty at £135 or less; above £135 duty 0% only with EU (TCA) preferential origin proof, otherwise MFN rates (clothing ~12%, footwear ~8%).

Liu Jo pieces are light cargo — a Bottom Up pair is about 0.6 kg, a blouse 0.3 kg, a boxed handbag 0.8–1.2 kg — so a two-to-four-piece order sits around 1–1.5 kg. Couriers bill the higher of actual versus volumetric weight; the only usual offender in a Liu Jo cart is a padded coat or chunky knit that bills by volume. The comparison that matters for UK buyers: the GB store charges £18.50 standard delivery per order, every order. Forwarding flips that logic — Liu Jo delivers domestically (free-standing parcels) to your Italian address, we hold everything up to 60 days, then repack several orders from Liu Jo and any other Italian stores into one UK-bound box. One international leg, one courier handling fee, one customs entry — instead of a delivery fee and a doorstep surprise per parcel.
| Liu Jo item | Approx. weight |
|---|---|
| Blouse / top | 0.3 kg |
| Dress | 0.4–0.5 kg |
| Bottom Up jeans | 0.6 kg |
| Blazer | 0.8 kg |
| Handbag (boxed) | 0.8–1.2 kg |
| Sandals / trainers | 0.9–1.1 kg |
| Boots | 1.5–1.8 kg |
| Padded coat | 1.2 kg actual (bills higher by volume) |

A hedged, illustrative picture of a consolidated two-piece order forwarded from Italy to a UK address. It is an estimate, not a quote — your forwarding price comes from the calculator on this page, and we estimate VAT and any duty on your actual parcel before it leaves Italy.
| Line item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Cart at liujo.com/it (Bottom Up flare €169 + blouse ≈ €90) | ≈ €259 (≈ £225) |
| Resendify forwarding (economy, ~1.2 kg) | from your live quote above |
| UK import VAT 20% (collected by courier, on goods + shipping) | ≈ £45–£50 + courier handling fee |
| Customs duty (goods over £135) | 0% with EU (TCA) origin proof; otherwise clothing ~12% (≈ £27) |
| Estimated landed cost | items + shipping + VAT (+ duty if origin proof unavailable) |

From fashion to car parts, from luxury to electronics — global shoppers use Resendify to buy from Europe without limits.
“Finally a service that actually works for buying from Spanish stores. I ordered from Zara España, MANGO and El Corte Inglés in the same week — everything arrived consolidated in one box. Shipping to LA was way cheaper than I expected.”
“I bought a MediaMarkt laptop that wasn't available in Canada at that price. The process was seamless — got my European address, placed the order, and Resendify handled everything from there. Will definitely use again.”
“Been sourcing European car parts for years. Resendify is the best forwarding service I've used for Europe-to-India shipments. The consolidation feature saved me hundreds on a single order.”
“Bought from a French boutique that doesn't ship to Australia. Got my Resendify address in minutes, placed the order, and it was on my doorstep in Sydney two weeks later. Exactly as advertised.”
“I source from 4–5 European suppliers every month. Resendify consolidates everything before it hits the US, which cuts my per-unit shipping cost significantly. The quote tool is accurate and the team is responsive.”
“Found a Zalando deal that was EU-only. Used Resendify, got the item shipped to Dubai without any issues. The customs documentation was all handled — that's the part I usually dread.”
Liu Jo's returns policy gives you 30 days from delivery, with collection by courier or drop-off at a UPS point — smooth if you bought from the GB store, because everything happens inside the UK network. A forwarded liujo.com/it order is different: once it reaches your UK address, returning it means posting it back to Italy at your own cost and waiting out the round trip. So build the risk out up front. First, buy your proven pieces from Italy — the denim waist you always wear, bags and accessories with no fit risk — and use the GB store when you genuinely might return something. Second, use the warehouse window: your parcels sit in our Italian facility for up to 60 days with photos on request, so a wrong or damaged item can be flagged and dealt with while it is still on Italian soil, where Liu Jo's returns machinery actually operates.

Yes. Liu Jo runs a dedicated GB store (liujo.com/gb) with taxes and duties included in prices and delivery at £18.50 standard or £25.50 express (verified July 2026). For one straightforward order, buying there is genuinely the simpler option — we'd rather tell you that than pretend otherwise. For Liu Jo Italy Ship shipments specifically heading to the United Kingdom, our team pre-fills the commercial invoice to streamline clearance.
Three cases: a piece or size sold out on the GB store but still live on liujo.com/it; a multi-brand Italian haul where Liu Jo shares one box with shops that don't ship to the UK; and repeated orders where one consolidated parcel replaces several £18.50 delivery fees. Liu Jo Italy Ship shoppers shipping to the United Kingdom frequently consolidate 2–4 orders to cut per-kg costs significantly.
Yes — be ready for it. Italian VAT stays inside the euro price, and the courier collects 20% UK import VAT (plus a handling fee) before delivery. Goods valued £135 or less carry no duty; above £135, duty is 0% only with proof of EU preferential origin, otherwise clothing is around 12%. We estimate it all before you ship.
Prices are set per market and move with sales, so we won't promise a blanket gap. The euro tag on liujo.com/it can work out ahead once you're consolidating several items — but compare your exact pieces on both stores, then let our calculator settle it with a landed-cost estimate. Liu Jo Italy Ship shoppers shipping to the United Kingdom frequently consolidate 2–4 orders to cut per-kg costs significantly.
Liu Jo uses Italian sizing: IT 42 ≈ UK 10, IT 44 ≈ UK 12. Denim mostly runs in inch waists (25–33), and Bottom Up cuts are deliberately snug through the hip. Check the per-product measurement chart — a forwarded return goes back to Italy at your cost. Note that Liu Jo Italy Ship return windows typically start from your original purchase date, not from when your package arrives in the United Kingdom.
Liu Jo allows 30 days from delivery, but through its Italian/European returns network. From the UK you'd pay return postage to Italy yourself, so treat forwarded purchases as near-final — or flag issues while your parcel is still in our Italian warehouse. Note that Liu Jo Italy Ship return windows typically start from your original purchase date, not from when your package arrives in the United Kingdom.
