See more about shipping to United Kingdom

Because these bundles are often restricted to the American market, savvy musicians are looking for a reliable freight forwarder to help them bridge the gap. Using comGateway allows you to access a tax-free us address, making it possible to shop us store sites that offer much better value than local high-street music shops.

Comparing the price gap between the US and the UK

The price difference is quite staggering when you look at popular products in the synthesizer category. In the US, the K.O. II often features in top us deals at a price point that is significantly lower than what we see in London or Manchester. Even after considering shipping costs, the total expenditure is frequently lower than buying a standard unit without any of the extra accessories in the UK.

Calculating your shipping estimates and box weight

Before you hit the checkout button, it is a good idea to estimate shipping cost using a shipping calculator. This ensures there are no surprises when your package arrives at the warehouse. Based on the standard retail packaging of the EP–133 K.O. II, here are some estimates to help you plan.

Avoiding order cancellations with the BuyForMe service

One of the biggest frustrations when trying to snag a deal on a US site is the dreaded order cancellation. Many US retailers like Apple, Sephora, or even specific music tech outlets often block international credit cards or refuse to ship to known warehouse addresses. This can make getting your hands on exclusive gear feel impossible.

This is where the BuyForMe service becomes incredibly useful. Instead of risking a cancellation, you can have a dedicated team buy the item on your behalf using a US domestic payment method. This is the safest way to guarantee that your order is processed successfully without the headache of your UK card being declined at the last second. It takes the stress out of the transaction, especially when you are trying to secure limited-edition stock.

Following a step-by-step guide to ship to the United Kingdom

Getting your gear across the Atlantic is simple when you follow a clear step-by-step guide. First, you get your US address, then you shop, and finally, you manage your shipment through the dashboard. If you are curious about how it works, the process is designed to be as transparent as possible.

You can check international shipping rates and compare different shipping fees before you commit. Remember that international shipping costs vary based on how fast you want your new sampler to arrive in your studio.

Preparing for UK customs and delivery

When you buy from US ship to United Kingdom, you need to keep UK VAT in mind. Currently, in 2026, most imports over a certain value will be subject to 20% VAT and potential customs duties. Even with these costs, the US-exclusive bundles for the EP–133 K.O. II often remain the better financial choice.

Choosing to ship to United Kingdom through a professional service ensures that all your paperwork is handled correctly for a smooth United Kingdom delivery. If you have any specific questions about the process, you can always visit the FAQ, browse the help center, or reach out to support for personalized assistance.
