Overseas Shopping Guide:
1. Selfridges supports Visa, MasterCard credit cards, Apple Pay, Alipay, and WeChat Pay. It offers a Chinese-language interface and Chinese customer service. Simplified Chinese browsing and shopping are available in six countries/regions: the UK, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Singapore.
2. Most items on the Selfridges website can be shipped worldwide, but beauty products cannot be directly shipped to mainland China.
3. On Selfridges, directly register an account, place an order, and pay. The checkout will automatically display the shipping cost and final payment amount. It's just like shopping online in mainland China—pay and wait for delivery.
4. Selfridges' shipping cost to China is calculated and displayed automatically at checkout. Previously reported on this site, Selfridges launched the Selfridges+ global free shipping plan. Joining Selfridges+ as a shipping member gives you year-round benefits: free shipping with no minimum order in the UK and EU (membership fee ￡10), and free shipping globally on orders over ￡75 (membership fee ￡50). If you shop frequently, you can join Selfridges+ or rent a Selfridges+ account.
5. Selfridges allows you to switch the browsing interface for different countries. Once switched, the displayed price is the order total for direct shipping to that country, including direct shipping tariffs, consumption tax, etc. Domestic netizens can compare the final quotes from the US, Hong Kong, and Macau sites, which are often lower than direct shipping to mainland China.
If the final price for direct shipping to Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, China, or the US is lower, you can choose to ship to these regions first and then forward to the mainland to save money. However, there is a risk of being taxed when the package is transferred to a Chinese port.
Reference Process: ① Register on a forwarding company's website to get a US/Hong Kong/Macau shipping address -> ② Place an order on Selfridges using the address obtained above -> ③ The package is sent to the forwarding company's US/Hong Kong/Macau warehouse -> ④ Arrange on the forwarding company's website for them to forward it to China -> ⑤ Clear customs at the Chinese border and pay taxes -> ⑥ Receive the package via courier or pick it up.
6. Selfridges recommends recording an unboxing video upon receiving the package to effectively handle after-sales issues.
As long as the price difference is significant, it's worth the effort.
