10 Great UK Stores to Shop via a UK Address

Clothing and Shoes

**ASOS** — a huge online clothing store for young shoppers. ASOS DESIGN's own brands are cheaper than any mainstream brand. Free UK delivery over £35. Tip: sign up for their newsletter and get 20% off your first order.

**Marks & Spencer** — a British mid-range retailer. Known for quality basics, underwear, and home textiles. M&S 100% cotton sheets are a treat. UK delivery from £3.50.

**Burberry, Mulberry, Stone Island** — premium brands. Buy them at discounted prices in UK outlet sales. Note the €300 sanction limit per item—luxury goods may not clear customs for Russia.

Cosmetics and Perfume

**Boots** — the UK's largest pharmacy chain with a huge cosmetics department, including No7, Soap & Glory, and Liz Earle. Prices are lower than in Europe, especially for baby cosmetics and vitamins.

**Space NK** — premium segment, similar to Cult Beauty. Good for niche perfumes and dermo-cosmetics like Drunk Elephant and Sunday Riley.

Sports and Outdoor

**Wiggle** — a cycling supermarket. Parts and gear for road and mountain bikes from £5 to £5,000. Prices are much lower than at dealers.

**Decathlon UK** — a mass-market sports retailer. Camping gear, fishing, running. Their own brands, Quechua and Forclaz, are higher quality than similar items.

Home and Kitchen

**John Lewis & Partners** — a flagship British retailer for the home. Bedding, tableware, small kitchen appliances, lighting. A Sage Smart Oven is cheaper here than elsewhere.

**Lakeland** — a niche kitchen store, somewhere between IKEA and Williams Sonoma. Silicone molds, gadgets, containers—the most diverse selection in the UK.

Books

**Waterstones** — the largest bookstore chain. English-language literature, sometimes exclusive covers and signed editions. Books ship to Russia without sanctions or duties (a special category).

Key Things to Know

Each of these stores ships within the UK either for free (over a certain order value) or for £3-8. This means that delivery to our warehouse in Ipswich is already included in the price of the item. Then you just pay for the international shipping.

Before ordering, check whether the goods are subject to sanctions for Russia. Electronics, expensive clothing (over €300), and luxury cosmetics are often turned back at customs. Otherwise, things usually go through without problems.
