I am sure a lot of you guys from UK have experience with dealers shipping via 4px (& some other couriers) from China to UK. What I am wondering is who is delivering the package to the final address in UK, is it Hermes? If so, what are your experiences with Hermes? I used them once and would never like to have that experience again (they are literally leaving the package anywhere they like and after that it’s like a game to find the hidden treasure).

If anybody has any advice on how to ship from China to UK, please let me know (it’s a non TD shipment (my friend is doing it) and I would like to avoid potential issues and sad news of package lost, seized,...in my next thread lol).

btw, I want to avoid DHL since I had as well one unpleasant situation with them with a package coming from China to UK

looking forward to read some useful advices what service to book.

tnx in advance & wishing you all a nice sunday!

Royal Mail / your regular postman will deliver it.

For your other question, no one will know. Depends on what the package is I guess...

Update/experience : recently I had 4 packages going from China to UK via 4px. 3 of them went without problems while the 4th one was stopped at the origin and rejected for export. I talked to my dealer and he told me that from 05.11. 4px is making strict control of the content for fakes and that at least for the moment he does not advice me to use 4px.

He sent me a printscreen from 4px China, translated txt from chinese can be seen below :
