Friends who frequently shop overseas from the UK may often hear about Selfridges. Selfridges & Co., located on Oxford Street in London, is one of the most famous department stores in the city. It brings together a large number of popular mass brands and designer counters, with a very comprehensive range of categories. You can shop for your favorite products on the Selfridges UK official website.
This article introduces a Selfridges department store overseas shopping guide, telling you how to place an order and shop on Selfridges. If you also want to order from Selfridges but don't know how, feel free to click and check out this Selfridges overseas shopping tutorial.
Most products at Selfridges can be shipped worldwide, including Mainland China, with Chinese customs duties prepaid. Direct shipping to Hong Kong and Macau is tax-free. However, beauty products cannot be shipped directly to Mainland China. Choosing a UK-based forwarding agent is not only expensive, but also has restrictions on items like perfume, and it includes VAT. It's better to ship directly to Hong Kong or Macau, where you can also get a refund of about 17% VAT. So, for skincare and cosmetics, the site recommends switching to the Hong Kong station for direct shipping to Hong Kong and Macau.
