Shipping from India to London
London's Malayali community is spread rather than concentrated — Wembley, Hounslow, East Ham, Croydon, Ilford — and much of it arrived through the NHS. Nurses, doctors and their families make up a large share of what we forward here, and the orders reflect a household that is settled and not going back soon.
Typical transit
5 to 10 business days once your box leaves our warehouse, plus clearance.
Free storage
30 days per parcel, so you can wait for the rest of the order.
One box
Every parcel combined and repacked, so you pay one rate rather than several.
What people in London have us forward
- clothes and ethnic wear for functions
- Malayalam books and children's reading
- kasavu and wedding shopping
- ayurvedic products, where UK rules allow
- gifts and festival items
What to know about this route
The UK charges VAT on imports from the first pound, with duty on top above a threshold, and the carrier collects both before delivery. Budget for it — a shipment that looks cheap to fly is not cheap to receive if you have not allowed for VAT. See the UK restrictions page for what cannot come in at all.
Customs and duty in United Kingdom are decided by United Kingdom and collected by the carrier on delivery — they are never part of our quote. What you cannot ship to United Kingdom (UK) →

Shipping from India to London — questions
Will I pay VAT on a parcel from India to the UK?
Yes. The UK applies VAT to imported goods and the carrier collects it, plus duty above a threshold, before delivery. It is set by HMRC and is never part of our shipping quote.
Can I ship ayurvedic products to the UK?
Some, not all. Anything presented as medicinal is treated as a medicine, and herbal products face their own rules. Read the UK restrictions page before ordering.
How do I shop Indian websites from London?
Sign up free and you get an Indian delivery address in Pala, Kerala with your own suite code. Use it at checkout on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio and almost any Indian store. We photograph each parcel as it arrives, hold it free for 30 days, and forward everything to London in one box when you ask.
How much does it cost to ship from India to London?
It depends on the weight and size of the box, so the calculator is the honest answer. What you control is the number of boxes: combining several orders into one is where the saving is.
Can I combine orders from several Indian stores?
Yes, and it is the whole point. Parcels from any number of stores are held together and sent as a single shipment to London, so you pay one international rate instead of one per order.
