Having friends, family or customers in Guernsey means they are just a few hundred miles away from any part of mainland UK. With a hop across the English Channel of course.
However, that can seem a long way if you need to get precious or important gifts, consumer goods and personal effects to someone who lives there.
Guernsey may be part of the British Isles, but it has its own customs system and is not part of the UK. Not least as it has its own jurisdiction as part of the Crown Dependency.
It is a truly unique destination. Guernsey has taken some British influence and some customs from nearby France and moulded them around its own special - and sometimes unusual - laws.
This is all wrapped up in a very beautiful aspect, as this island has a magnificent coastline, including 27 spectacular bays and long stretches of sandy beaches. No wonder it’s popular with holidaymakers and expats.
ParcelBroker has developed a service to provide fair prices and reliable delivery between the UK and Guernsey, as customer demand is so high.
It offers a door-to-door service and the most direct route to any address in Guernsey – or anywhere else in the Channel Islands for that matter.
Do I need to deal with customs when sending from the UK to Guernsey?
Guernsey is not part of the EU or the UK. It has its own unique rules and regulations on exporting and importing goods.
However, part of the ParcelBroker customer service package is to guide you through any requirements and paperwork involved. Simply ask, and we are happy to help.
