Does Costco ship to the UK?
Short answer
Get it through a buy-it-for-me service. The quote below from Costco's own policy explains why ordering to a US address yourself may not work for the UK.
What Costco says
“We are unable to deliver to APO (military) boxes, FPO (foreign) boxes, freight forwarders (mail drop locations), or international addresses.”

Getting Costco orders to the UK
- Prices in dollars: American shops charge in US dollars. Your card provider converts to sterling and may add a non-sterling fee.
- Import VAT: Up to £135, 20% VAT is normally charged at checkout. Above £135, VAT and any duty are collected on import, often with a courier handling fee.
- Delivery times: Via a US address service, allow about 1 to 2 weeks once the parcel reaches the American warehouse.
- Returns: Posting items back to the US is rarely cheap. Check sizes and the shop's returns policy first.
