Delivering packages to and within North America has always been a core service for Landmark Global. Changes in automation and routing from our state-of-the-art facilities at London Heathrow has speeded up and optimised delivery even more. Discover how we can power your e-commerce growth to the USA and Canada.

Shipping parcels to and within North America is part of Landmark Global’s history and DNA. With the strong presence, operational footprint and local expertise of Landmark Global US we serve the domestic market with full national coverage, as well as cross-border to US from UK, EU and Asia origins. From the UK, we deliver your US parcels within 3 to 6 days and often much faster, with 3 days delivery to the major metro areas on the Eastern and Western seabords. Moreover, you can count on smooth T86 customs clearance for all shipments.

The recently opened logistics centre at London Heathrow, with a fully automated parcel distribution and in-house pallet screening, gives an extra boost to our international service level. On top of making shipping parcels from the UK easier, it also facilitates trans-shipment of cross-border parcels from Europe, benefitting from increased line haul options from Heathrow.

Our goal has been to make cross-border parcel delivery to the US as fast and seamless that it feels for the end-customer as smooth as any local domestic delivery.

When sending your parcels to the US, we optimise the routing and final mile service selected, based on parcel weight, dimensions and zip code.
