Buy Warhammer from the UK & Ship to the USA

Why GW Doesn't Just Ship Directly to the USA

Games Workshop operates territory-specific websites and deliberately restricts international direct shipping for many products. Even when direct shipping is technically available, the rates are high and the selection is often limited compared to the full UK catalogue. Many popular boxed sets, limited releases, and bundle deals are only available via the UK store or UK-based retailers — and they won't ship outside Europe.

This is where a UK package forwarding service becomes essential.

Best UK Warhammer Retailers to Buy From

Here are the top UK sources for Warhammer miniatures, paints, terrain, codexes, and hobby supplies:

Games Workshop Direct (gamesworkshop.com)

The official source. Full catalogue access, all the latest releases, and limited editions. UK RRP applies — you get the currency advantage but no additional retailer discount. Good for items that are GW-exclusive or just released.

Element Games (elementgames.co.uk)

One of the largest and most respected GW stockists in the UK. Typically offers 20–25% off GW RRP, fast dispatch, and an enormous stock depth across all GW product lines — Warhammer 40,000, Age of Sigmar, The Old World, Horus Heresy, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, and more. A favourite in the community for good reason.

Wayland Games (waylandgames.co.uk)

Another major UK retailer offering consistent discounts of around 20–25% off RRP. Wide range, good stock availability, and frequent promotions. Strong coverage across all Warhammer product lines including paints and accessories.

Firestorm Games (firestormgames.co.uk)

A well-regarded independent UK game shop with solid online presence. Offers meaningful discounts, strong customer service, and good coverage of niche product lines beyond the mainstream 40K and AoS sets.

Goblin Gaming (goblingaming.co.uk)

Known in the community for competitive prices — often among the deepest discounts available on GW products in the UK. Worth checking for army-scale purchases where every percentage point of saving matters.

How to Ship Warhammer from the UK to the USA with Resendify

The process is straightforward. Resendify gives you a real UK delivery address to use at checkout when buying from any UK retailer. Your packages arrive at our UK warehouse, and we forward them on to your address in the USA. You can ship each order individually, or wait and consolidate multiple orders into a single shipment — which is the smart move for hobby collectors who tend to buy from more than one retailer at once.

Step 1: Create Your Resendify Account

Sign up at Resendify and you'll instantly receive a personal UK delivery address. No membership fees — you only pay when you actually ship something. This address works at any UK online retailer's checkout just like a normal UK home address.

Step 2: Shop UK Warhammer Retailers

Place your orders at Element Games, Wayland Games, Goblin Gaming, Firestorm Games, GW Direct — or any combination. Use your Resendify UK address as the delivery address at checkout. The retailers ship to our UK warehouse just as they would to any UK customer.

Step 3: We Receive Your Packages

As your orders arrive at our UK warehouse, they're logged into your account. You can track what has arrived. Army boxes, paint sets, terrain kits, rulebooks, codexes — everything comes into one place regardless of which retailer shipped it.

Step 4: Consolidate (Highly Recommended for Warhammer)

This is where Resendify really earns its keep for hobbyists. Warhammer boxes are heavy — army sets routinely weigh 2–5kg, and terrain sets can be even bulkier. Shipping each box individually is expensive. By consolidating multiple orders into a single shipment, you pay one lot of international postage instead of several, which dramatically reduces your per-box shipping cost. This is especially valuable if you've ordered from three or four different retailers to catch the best discount on each product line.

Step 5: Forward to Your USA Address

When you're ready to ship, request a quote (use the calculator on this page), confirm your shipment, and we dispatch to your US address with full tracking. Delivery times and costs depend on service level — economy and express options are available.

Is it legal to buy Warhammer from the UK and import it to the USA?

Yes, absolutely. Importing hobby products like Warhammer miniatures from the UK to the USA for personal use is entirely legal. US customs may apply import duties depending on the declared value of your shipment — for personal hobby purchases this is usually straightforward. Resendify can help you understand what to expect when you request your quote.

How much can I actually save buying Warhammer from the UK vs USA?

The savings depend on where you buy and what you're buying. The GBP-to-USD exchange rate gives you roughly 25–35% off US RRP just from currency conversion. On top of that, UK discounters like Element Games and Goblin Gaming offer an additional 20–25% off UK RRP. Combined, you're looking at 35–55% total savings compared to buying at a US game store. On a $200 US purchase, that could mean paying $90–$130 instead — even after adding Resendify's forwarding fee.

Does Games Workshop ship directly from the UK to the USA?

Games Workshop restricts direct international shipping for most products on its UK website — orders placed on the UK store generally cannot be delivered outside Europe. Even where limited international shipping is available, rates are high. A UK forwarding address via Resendify is the standard workaround used by collectors worldwide.

How long does shipping from the UK to the USA take with Resendify?

Transit time depends on the carrier and service level you choose. Times may also vary based on customs clearance in the USA. You'll receive full tracking so you can monitor your shipment end-to-end.

Can I ship Warhammer to Australia or Canada through Resendify too?

Yes. While this guide focuses on the UK-to-USA route, Resendify also forwards packages from the UK and Europe to Australia, Canada, and many other destinations worldwide. The same process applies — you get a UK address, consolidate, and forward. The UK-to-Australia and UK-to-Canada savings on Warhammer are similarly significant thanks to Games Workshop's regional pricing.
