How to ship clothes
In 2023, online shopping for fashion items topped all other sectors, with 54.7% of consumers choosing to buy fashion items online. This surpasses groceries at 49.2% (Internet Retailing, 2024). And providing a positive delivery experience for consumers is increasingly becoming a differentiator for retailers.
Whether you’re a big brand retailer or a small e-commerce business selling your items on Vinted or Etsy, what you have in common is you’ll both need a reliable parcel delivery service you can trust. That’s where we can help. At Amazon Shipping UK, we specialise in shipping a wide variety of apparel items, including:
- Clothing (shirts, dresses, trousers, activewear)
- Footwear (shoes, boots, sandals)
- Accessories (jewellery, bags, scarves, hats)
We understand speed is of the essence for fashion retailers as consumers want their items to arrive in time for that big event and we offer reliable Next-Day delivery speeds. We’re also able to accommodate seasonal fluctuations in demand, and large daily volumes of packages, through Amazon’s established transportation and delivery infrastructure.
“We continue to receive great feedback from our customers as a result of the positive delivery experience with their orders. From scanning during collection, through to the claims process, we are very happy with the service Amazon Shipping provides. It's been very helpful for both us and our customers.” – Ideal Online Ltd, clothing and footwear retailer

How to ship flowers
Fresh flowers brighten up any occasion. As perishable items, fresh cut flowers require careful and prompt delivery. We support numerous e-commerce flower and floristry retailers in ensuring their blooms reach their recipients in good condition.
Choosing a delivery partner that can adjust to varying demand is important, especially during peak seasons like Valentine's Day and Mother's Day.
We build our network and operations starting with high peak demand and work backwards from there, so we’re able to support peak demand fluctuations, and we always have multiple routes planned out for each parcel, so we can prevent delays if issues are encountered on one route. Our transparent tracking and Next-Day Delivery options give both you and your customers confidence that orders will reach their intended recipients on time.
