    Frequently asked questions

    How long does shipping to UK take?

    Transit time depends on the method, departure schedule, cargo type, customs processing and final delivery postcode. Tell Gia Phu your preferred arrival date to check schedules; estimates are confirmed per shipment, rather than a fixed number of days for all parcels.

    Do I need a postcode or just the city name in UK?

    Provide both the postcode and full address: recipient name, house/apartment number, street, city and phone number. London or Manchester alone is insufficient to check the delivery point and related conditions. For dormitories or companies, include the building name and receiving department.

    Are gifts to family automatically exempt from duties?

    No. Labelling a shipment as a gift does not automatically make it duty-free. Gifts must meet UK conditions; values and item types must still be declared accurately. Discuss duties, fees and the paying party in the quotation beforehand.

    Can I send dry food, cosmetics or battery-powered equipment?

    Each product must be checked before acceptance. Send photos of labels, ingredients, packaging and quantities; for equipment, include battery type and condition. Do not combine these with general cargo before receiving guidance.

    Is shipping to Northern Ireland the same as to England?

    Specify Northern Ireland and the postcode. UK guidance distinguishes Great Britain from Northern Ireland for goods arriving from abroad; Gia Phu will check the shipping option and documents for the exact delivery address.

    What does the quotation include?

    Ask for confirmation of freight charges, packing if applicable, address-specific delivery, surcharges and how import duties/fees are handled. Do not assume shipping charges include all obligations in the UK.

    Can I get advice before boxing my goods?

    Start with photos, quantities and estimated dimensions. The quotation must be rechecked against the packed shipment. For fragile or bulky goods, discuss protection before packing them yourself.
