UPS Express Shipping Within the USA
Fast 1-2 Day Delivery from Dispatch
Need your order quickly? Little Women offers UPS Express shipping for our United States customers for $35. Once your order has been dispatched, delivery typically takes 1-2 business days.
For same-day dispatch, place your order before 2:00pm UK time on a business day. Orders placed after the cut-off, at weekends or on UK public holidays will be dispatched on the next business day.
UPS Express orders are sent Delivered Duties Paid (DDP). Any applicable duties and import taxes are calculated and collected at checkout, so you should not normally be asked to pay additional import charges when your parcel arrives.
Express shipping remains $35 regardless of order value and is not included within the free Standard Delivery offer on orders over $100.
Standard Shipping Within the USA
A Lower-Cost Delivery Option for US Orders
Our Standard US Delivery service costs $14 on orders under $100 and is free on orders over $100. Standard orders are shipped and typically arrive within 10-14 days from dispatch.
Standard Delivery is a good option if your order is not urgent and you would prefer to keep shipping costs lower. Delivery times are estimates and may occasionally be affected by customs processing, carrier delays, severe weather or other circumstances outside our control.
Any applicable US duties and import taxes are calculated and collected at checkout based on the products in your order and the customs information available at the time of purchase, so you should not normally be asked to pay additional import charges when your parcel arrives.
US Duties, Import Taxes & Customs
What You Pay at Checkout
US import rules changed in August 2025, which means duties and import taxes can apply to goods shipped from the UK to the United States. Where applicable, these charges are calculated as part of your checkout so you can see the cost before completing your order.
The amount is based on the products in your order, their value and origin, and the customs information available at the time of purchase. We cannot manually discount, remove or change duties and import taxes that apply to an order.
For all US orders, applicable duties and import taxes are collected at checkout and should not normally result in a further import payment on delivery; however, in unusual circumstances US Customs or the carrier may reassess charges or request additional information.

When Your US Order Leaves Little Women
