Liquidation pallets for UK buyers: what ships to the United Kingdom and what stays in the U.S.
Straight answer first: a pallet does not ship to the United Kingdom from Closo — pallets and LTL freight stay inside the U.S. What does ship is the parcel-size lot: 84,910 case packs and boxes right now, up to 44 lb each and 4 per order, by tracked USPS or UPS, with the same manifest and escrow as a pallet. 801 pallets are listed for U.S. pickup or delivery.

Questions United Kingdom buyers ask
Straight answers on parcels, duties, payment and what cannot travel.
How much VAT and duty is there on a lot into the United Kingdom?
Above £135 a consignment pays import VAT of 20 % on the goods plus postage and customs duty by tariff code; Royal Mail or the courier bills VAT, duty and its handling fee before delivery, and holds the parcel about three weeks if unpaid. At £135 or less, UK law puts the 20 % VAT at the point of sale on the overseas seller — Closo is not registered for UK VAT, so a VAT-registered business buyer accounts for it through the reverse charge on its own return; there is no duty at that value. Source: gov.uk — Tax and customs for goods sent from abroad, checked 2026-09-21. Closo declares the goods and their invoice value on the customs form and does not collect VAT at checkout.
How long does delivery to the United Kingdom take?
The live USPS or UPS estimate for a parcel from Los Angeles to London shows 1–5 business days in transit, plus the supplier's handling time on the lot and customs clearance on arrival.
Can I get a liquidation pallet delivered to the United Kingdom?
Not from Closo: pallets and LTL freight are quoted and delivered inside the U.S. only. If you use your own freight forwarder with a U.S. address, a pallet can be delivered there; Closo does not arrange the onward leg. The parcel-size lots on this page ship to the United Kingdom directly.
What is the difference between a pallet and a case pack?
A pallet is a stacked, shrink-wrapped load (often 200–800 lb) that moves by freight; a case pack is one or a few boxes of the same or assorted goods, up to 44 lb each, that moves by parcel — the format that crosses the border.
Do I need an EORI number?
If you import as a business, HMRC expects an EORI number (starting GB) on the customs declaration and the courier will ask for it; a private buyer does not need one. Apply free on gov.uk/eori.
Can I pay in pounds?
Prices and payment are in U.S. dollars; your card converts at its own rate. There is no bank transfer and no pounds price list.
