The Receipt Report 2026

How much are UK sellers really paying to ship to America?

We're collecting 1,000 real shipping bills from UK sellers and publishing the average overpayment. Help us name the worst-value carriers — get a personal saving estimate back.

Takes 60 seconds. Anonymous if you want it to be. No marketing list.

If unticked we'll assume your buyer paid duty + a customs fee at the door — the "real" cost is higher.

Get your personal saving estimate

If you leave an email we'll send your personal saving estimate when we publish the report. One email, no marketing list, no spam. Skip the email and your receipt is fully anonymous.

Takes 60 seconds. We never share individual receipts publicly — only the aggregate.

Why we're collecting these.

Since the US ended de-minimis on 29 August 2025, UK sellers have been paying wildly different prices to ship the same parcel. The cheapest aggregator we've found is £15.50 for a 2 kg parcel; the most expensive £55+ for the same box. We're publishing the average overpayment — named carriers, real numbers — to give every UK seller a benchmark.

The report will go out in mid-July 2026 with the full dataset (anonymised) and a personal saving estimate emailed to every contributor who left contact details. We're pitching it to the UK consumer-press desks (Times Money, Which?, MoneySavingExpert, BBC You & Yours) — so the louder this gets, the more pressure there'll be on the carriers to drop their hidden admin fees.
