How British Buy works
Our process is designed to be simple, transparent and safe. Nothing is bought until you have approved a written quote.
Tell us what you need
Send us the product, a link or a photo, plus the delivery country — by form, email or phone.
Receive your personal quote
We check availability and send you a clear, all-inclusive quote: item price, our service fee, shipping and insurance.
We buy and inspect
Once you approve, we purchase the item in the UK, inspect it and send you photos if you wish.
We ship it to you
Your order is professionally packed and shipped insured and tracked, with all export documents.
Why use a personal buyer in the UK?
Access products not sold in your country
Many British products, sizes, colours and limited editions are only available in UK stores, or UK shops do not ship abroad.
A trusted person on the ground
We go to the shop, check the item, send you photos before purchase if you wish, and keep the original invoice and packaging.
No payment or delivery barriers
We deal with sellers that refuse foreign cards or addresses, and with British marketplaces and auction houses.
Export made simple
We pack professionally, prepare the customs documents — including for deliveries to the EU since Brexit — and ship with insured international carriers.
What we cannot buy
- Weapons, ammunition and their parts
- Counterfeit or replica goods
- Prescription medicines and controlled substances
- Protected animal or plant species without the required permits
- Hazardous materials not accepted by carriers
- Anything that is illegal in the UK or in your country
Frequently asked questions
How much does your service cost?
Each request is quoted individually. Your quote includes the price of the item, our service fee, shipping and insurance, so you know the total before deciding. Requesting a quote is free and without obligation.
Which countries do you ship to?
We ship to most countries worldwide. Some products (for example whisky, perfume or certain foods) are subject to carrier rules and import regulations in your country; we check this before sending you a quote.
How do I know the products are authentic?
We buy from official brand stores, authorised retailers or sellers that you have approved. We keep the original invoice, packaging and documents (warranty cards, certificates) and ship them with your item.
Do I have to pay UK VAT?
Goods exported from the UK can often be sold free of UK VAT or have the VAT refunded, depending on the seller and how the item is exported. We tell you in your quote which option applies to your purchase.
Tell us what you are looking for
Describe the item and where it should be delivered. We will reply with a personalised quote.
Every request is different, so we quote each one individually. Asking for a quote is free and without obligation.
