How to Buy from ASOS UK and Ship to the USA, Canada or Australia

ASOS launched in the UK and its British warehouse is still the heart of the operation. The UK site carries over 850 brands — including own-label ASOS Design, Topshop, Reclaimed Vintage, and dozens of European brands — at GBP pricing that can be 20–40% below what you'd pay for the same item in the US, Canada or Australia. The catch: ASOS UK doesn't always offer competitive international shipping, and some of its brand range is UK-only. A UK forwarding address solves both problems.

What Makes ASOS UK Worth Shopping From Abroad

ASOS UK vs ASOS US/AU — What's the Actual Difference?

ASOS runs localised versions of its website for the US, Australia, and other countries. What's different about the UK version:

• Stock availability. The UK warehouse is stocked first. Items sell out on the US/AU versions faster, or don't appear at all on them.
• Pricing. Some items are cheaper in GBP even before exchange rate considerations. Check both versions before buying.
• Brand range. Several smaller UK and European brands only appear on the UK site — not on localised versions.
• Delivery timing. With a UK forwarding address, you get UK domestic delivery speeds (next-day available). Via international ASOS shipping, you'd wait longer and pay more.

Customs and Import Costs by Destination

Post-Brexit, the UK is no longer in the EU Customs Union, which simplifies things for non-EU buyers:

• USA: ASOS UK orders under $800 per shipment clear US customs duty-free (de minimis). Clothing duty of ~12% applies above $800. Most personal orders stay below this threshold.
• Canada: Courier shipments benefit from a CAD 150 de minimis before duties apply. Clothing duty is 18% above the threshold.
• Australia: GST (10%) applies to all imports with no de minimis. Customs duty on clothing (10%) applies above AUD 1,000. For a typical ASOS order, you're looking at 10% GST only.

How to Shop ASOS UK From Anywhere

1. Get a UK forwarding address from Resendify. You receive a real UK warehouse address. It takes under two minutes to set up.
2. Shop ASOS.com (the UK version). Enter your Resendify UK address at checkout. ASOS ships to it like any UK address — including next-day delivery options.
3. Wait for your parcel to arrive at the warehouse. Resendify notifies you with photos so you can check the items.
4. Request forwarding to your country. Choose economy or express. Resendify handles UK export documentation.

Tips for Getting the Best Value

• Use ASOS student discount if eligible. A 20% code stacks with sale pricing and makes ASOS one of the cheapest fashion sources globally.
• Consolidate with other UK stores. If you're buying from ASOS plus Reiss or Boden, consolidate all parcels at Resendify's UK warehouse before shipping. One shipment instead of three cuts costs significantly.
• Watch the ASOS sale calendar. End of season sales in January and July, plus Black Friday, are peak discount periods. Plan your shipping budget accordingly since your shopping cart might be larger than a typical order.
• Check size guides carefully. ASOS uses UK sizing. A UK 10 is a US 6, AU 10. The ASOS size guide is detailed — use it before ordering.
