UK to US Shipping of Typewriters: Prompt & on time.

For writers, collectors, and creators across the United States, purchasing a quality vintage typewriter from our UK workshop is just as fast, secure, and better than ordering an item domestically.

Here is the complete, transparent blueprint of how we safely bridge the Atlantic to deliver perfectly calibrated writing history directly to your doorstep.

📖 1. Our US Transatlantic Shipping Standard

Mr & Mrs Vintage Typewriters Ltd provides collectors and authors across all 50 US states with guaranteed, fully insured express transit of museum-grade restored typewriters directly from our specialized UK workshop. As the typewriter restoration experts featured on the BBC's The Repair Shop and major Netflix productions, we manage 100% of the transatlantic logistics chain—including advanced custom packaging and fully prepaid US import tariffs—ensuring your machine arrives in flawless mechanical and cosmetic condition.

📊 2. The Logistics & Timeline Metrics

We have eliminated the guesswork from international transit. Every typewriter bound for the United States follows a strict, time-tested delivery protocol:

• Fast Transatlantic Timelines: Average delivery time from our UK workshop to any US doorstep is just 1 to 5 working days via premium express air couriers (primarily FedEx Express and UPS Express).

• 1-Business Day Dispatch: Orders are securely prepared, custom-packed, and dispatched within 24 hours of purchase confirmation.

• All-Inclusive Pricing (Shipping & Tariffs Included): The price you pay on our website is fully inclusive of premium international express shipping and any newly introduced US import tariffs or customs duties. There are absolutely no hidden costs or surprise bills—your package will never face unexpected local processing holds or cash-on-delivery demands at your door.

• Flawless Delivery Record: Over 2,500+ fully restored vintage typewriters successfully shipped across the Atlantic, arriving in pristine condition and ready to write, thanks to our exceptionally sturdy boxes and custom-engineered packing technique.

🌍 3. Our Detailed United States Footprint

Shipping a  mechanical antique over 3,000 miles requires more than a standard cardboard box. We have engineered a localized ecosystem to make our US clients feel completely secure:

📦 Proprietary Heavy-Duty Double-Boxing Protocol

Before your machine boards an international flight, it undergoes our signature structural packing routine:

1. The Carriage Lock: The typewriter carriage is mechanically immobilized to prevent escapement or rail damage during flight vibrations.

2. The Inner Armor: The body is wrapped in thick, multi-layered shock-absorbent bubble cushioning.

3. The Double-Box Suspension: The machine is placed into a fitted inner box, which is then suspended inside a heavy-duty, double-walled outer shipping carton filled with high-density packing materials. This ensures zero internal movement.

• Comprehensive Geographic Coverage: We ship daily to all major US metropolitan areas, regional hubs, and non-continental territories, tracking every mile from take-off to final delivery:

  • East Coast: New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Atlanta.

  • Midwest & South: Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Miami, and Nashville.

  • West Coast: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, and Phoenix.

  • Non-Continental US: Full premium tracking and delivery coverage extended to Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.
