Mint Velvet does deliver to the States — duties paid, but with orders capped at $800 while US tariff rules shake out. A free UK Resendify address opens mintvelvet.co.uk with no ceiling: every size 6–18, Short/Regular/Long trouser lengths, the up-to-60% sale, and room to bundle other British brands into the same parcel.
Founded in 2009, Mint Velvet built its 'relaxed glamour' formula on luxe textures at premium-high-street prices: draped midi dresses around £170, scallop-trim knits from £79, suede jackets at £350, and a denim wall with its own fit guide and Short, Regular and Long lengths. In the US, Nordstrom and Next carry an edit of the brand — the UK site is the master catalogue where the full size runs, the new-season drops and the deepest sale markdowns live, all priced in GBP. Shipping time from Europe to the United States depends on the carrier and service level you choose, with full tracking and export documentation handled by Resendify.
Mint Velvet's 'relaxed glamour' is best shopped at the source, where the full size run (UK 6–18) and trouser lengths actually stay in stock. Current examples straight from mintvelvet.co.uk on 28 Jul 2026: the Black Draped Asymmetric Midi Dress at £170 in sizes 06–18, the Green Scallop Trim Knit Top at £79, Black Checked Soft Balloon Trousers at £110 in Short, Regular and Long, the Neutral Suede Military Jacket at £350, and the Kailey Suede Ankle Boots at £150 in UK 3–8. The sale runs up to 60% off with new lines added. What makes the forwarding route worth it: the US store caps any order at $800 — a suede jacket, boots and two dresses blow through that fast — while orders to your UK Resendify address have no ceiling and can share the box with other British brands. Build the haul once, ship it once.

Mint Velvet's own US checkout currently limits any order to $800 while new US tariff rules settle — a coat, boots and two dresses can blow through that. Orders to a UK address have no such ceiling.
Nordstrom and Next US stock a selection of Mint Velvet; the full catalogue — every size 6–18, trouser lengths, new drops and sale depth — lives on mintvelvet.co.uk.
Order from three UK brands separately and you pay three international shipping charges and three customs events. One UK address collects everything; one consolidated parcel flies.
Mint Velvet cuts on the UK scale — clothing in UK 6–18, knitwear in XS–XL, shoes in UK 3–8 (EU 36–41 printed alongside). The conversion is mechanical: subtract four from the UK number for your US size, so a UK 10 is roughly a US 6 and a UK 14 roughly a US 10. The house cut leans relaxed — that is the brand's whole aesthetic — so if you sit between sizes on drapey dresses and knits, most shoppers hold their true size rather than sizing up. Trousers are the detail worth crossing an ocean for: many styles come in Short, Regular and Long leg lengths, a run that US stockists rarely import. Check the denim fit guide on the UK site for leg measurements in centimetres. One practical note: a forwarded parcel is slow to swap, so confirm against the garment measurements on each product page rather than guessing from the label.
| UK | US | EU |
|---|---|---|
| 6 | 2 | 34 |
| 8 | 4 | 36 |
| 10 | 6 | 38 |
| 12 | 8 | 40 |
| 14 | 10 | 42 |
| 16 | 12 | 44 |
| 18 | 14 | 46 |

Here is the honest version most forwarders won't tell you. The old US$800 "de minimis" exemption that let small parcels enter the United States duty-free was suspended on 29 August 2025, and the suspension applies to EU shipments too. That exemption no longer exists: US import duty can now apply to your order from the very first dollar, with no value threshold below which clothing arrives free. The upside for your budget is that the US has no federal VAT or GST, so at the border you face customs duty only — not a value-added tax. Any state sales or use tax is your own obligation and is never collected by the courier. One more number to plan around: your your EU store prices already include Spain's 21% VAT, and shipping through a forwarder to an EU address does not let a private shopper reclaim that VAT (a tourist refund needs a personal export with a customs stamp, which a forwarder can't do). So budget against the .es sticker price, not a tax-free one.
The one figure we deliberately won't pin down is the exact duty rate, because in 2026 it is genuinely in flux. An IEEPA-based tariff framework was struck down in February 2026, and a temporary Section 122 surcharge now sits on top of the normal HTS apparel rates — so any single "X% on clothes" number you read online is probably already stale. Rather than guess, we estimate your full landed cost — item value, plus duty, plus shipping — before you ship, so you can plan with a realistic estimate. Create your free Spanish forwarding address, fill your cart at your EU store, and run it through our shipping calculator for the real number before you commit.

Two things most forwarding sites won't say plainly. First: mintvelvet.co.uk prices include 20% UK VAT, and when your order delivers to a UK forwarding address that VAT stays in the price. We cannot zero-rate it as an export and neither can anyone else shipping this way — the goods were sold domestically. Second: on arrival in the US your parcel is an import. The $800 de minimis exemption was suspended on 29 Aug 2025, so duty can apply from the first dollar, and 2026 rates are volatile enough that we quote no fixed percentage — we estimate your landed cost before the parcel leaves the UK. Note the contrast with Mint Velvet's own US store, which charges duty-paid dollar prices at checkout: forwarding does not dodge those charges, it changes what you can buy — the full UK catalogue, no $800 cap, and one consolidated parcel across brands. That is the honest trade.
UK VAT (20%) is included in UK prices and is not refundable via forwarding; no export zero-rating applies. The US $800 de minimis was suspended on 29 Aug 2025; duty can apply from the first dollar and 2026 rates are changing, so we estimate before you ship.

Womenswear forwards efficiently because it packs flat and dense. A typical Mint Velvet order — a dress, a knit, a pair of trousers — sits around 1.2–1.6 kg and travels close to its actual weight. The pieces that change the bill are the ones the brand is famous for: suede and leather jackets run 1.2–1.5 kg, boots arrive boxed at 1.5–2 kg, and a faux-fur or wool winter coat can bill at 3–4 kg volumetric even though it weighs half that on the scale. The play is the same as always: collect the haul at your UK address — Mint Velvet plus any other British brands — inside your free 60-day storage window, then consolidate into one box so a single international leg and one customs entry cover everything. Run your basket through the calculator on this page for a live band before you commit at checkout.
| Item | Approx. weight |
|---|---|
| Knit top | 0.4–0.5 kg |
| Midi dress | 0.5 kg |
| Trousers / jeans | 0.5–0.6 kg |
| Suede military jacket | 1.2–1.5 kg |
| Ankle boots (boxed) | 1.5–2 kg |
| Winter coat / faux fur | 1.5 kg actual (3–4 kg volumetric) |
Weights are typical estimates for planning; couriers bill the higher of actual vs volumetric weight and the parcel cap is 30 kg. We estimate your US landed cost before you ship. Source: Mint Velvet — delivery information.
Here is roughly what a two-piece Mint Velvet order costs delivered to a US door. Treat it as an illustration, not a quote — your shipping price comes from the calculator above, and we estimate the US duty for your exact parcel before it leaves the UK.
| Line item | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Cart at mintvelvet.co.uk: midi dress £170 + knit top £79 (20% UK VAT included) | £249 ≈ $315 |
| Mint Velvet delivery to our UK warehouse | standard UK delivery rates apply |
| Resendify forwarding (economy, ~1.2 kg) | from your live quote above |
| US import duty (2026 — rate in flux, budget a band) | ≈ 10–20% of value (~$32–$63) |
| Estimated landed cost | items + shipping + ~$32–$63 duty |

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.”
Honesty first: if you think you'll return an item, Mint Velvet's own US store — free returns through its portal — is the better channel for that single purchase. Forwarding is for the haul you intend to keep. A mintvelvet.co.uk order is a UK domestic sale, so its return journey ends in Britain: while your parcels are still at our UK warehouse, sending something back to Mint Velvet is a cheap domestic UK shipment — we check and photograph arrivals, so wrong-item or damage cases get caught inside the returns window. Tell us before we forward and we'll help arrange it. Once the box has crossed the Atlantic, a return means international postage back to the UK at your cost and the clock may run out, so treat forwarded pieces as near-final. The best insurance is upstream: use the cm measurement charts, keep your true size on relaxed cuts, and pick trouser lengths deliberately.
Return terms reflect Mint Velvet policy as of 28 Jul 2026 and can change; confirm current terms at mintvelvet.co.uk before ordering. Source: Mint Velvet — returns.
Yes — Mint Velvet's US store ships via DHL with duties paid at checkout ($10 standard, free over $500) and free returns, but it currently caps every order at $800 while US tariff rules settle. Forwarding through a UK address is for what the cap and the catalogue can't give you: bigger hauls, the full UK range in GBP, and consolidating Mint Velvet with other British brands into one parcel. For Mint Velvet Uk Ship shipments specifically heading to the United States, our team pre-fills the commercial invoice to streamline clearance.
Three reasons that survive honesty checks: no $800 ceiling on your basket; the master UK catalogue with every size 6–18 and Short/Regular/Long trouser lengths; and one consolidated box when Mint Velvet is part of a wider UK shop. If you're buying one returnable item, Mint Velvet's own US store with free returns may genuinely serve you better — we'd rather tell you that than oversell. Mint Velvet Uk Ship shoppers shipping to the United States frequently consolidate 2–4 orders to cut per-kg costs significantly.
Current GBP examples from mintvelvet.co.uk (28 Jul 2026): draped asymmetric midi dress £170, scallop-trim knit £79, soft balloon trousers £110, suede military jacket £350, Kailey suede ankle boots £150 — with the sale running up to 60% off and new lines added. UK prices include 20% UK VAT, which stays in the price when you forward.
Assume yes. The US $800 de minimis exemption was suspended on 29 Aug 2025, so duty can apply from the first dollar and 2026 rates remain volatile — unlike Mint Velvet's duty-paid US checkout, a forwarded parcel clears customs on arrival. We estimate your landed cost before you ship. Verified 28 Jul 2026 — rules change; check cbp.gov for current rules.

Mint Velvet cuts on the UK scale, sizes 6–18, with XS–XL on knits. Subtract four for your US size: UK 10 is roughly US 6, UK 14 roughly US 10. Shoes run UK 3–8 (EU 36–41), about US 5–10. The trouser Short/Regular/Long lengths are the detail US stockists rarely carry — check the size table on this page.
Yes — that's where forwarding earns its keep. We hold parcels free for up to 60 days, so your Mint Velvet order can wait for other British brands, then everything flies as one parcel with a single shipping charge and one customs entry.
