Our Story

Built to Break Barriers.
Built for Everyone.

We are Globord Customs and Trade Ltd — a UK-registered shipping and package forwarding company on a mission to make global commerce truly global.

Our Story

Why GLOBORD Exists

GLOBORD was founded in the United Kingdom with one observation: global commerce had left a huge portion of the world behind.

Shoppers in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and across Africa wanted access to the same products available in London, Los Angeles, Shanghai and Toronto — but the barriers were everywhere. International card declines. No recognised delivery addresses. Fragmented, expensive shipping. Hidden fees and unreliable middlemen.

“Why should where you were born determine what you can buy?”

We built GLOBORD to answer that question. A free address in the UK, USA, China and Canada. A team that handles customs, compliance and consolidation. A platform that treats a shopper in Lagos with the same respect and capability as a shopper in London.

Globord Customs and Trade Ltd is registered in England and Wales (Company No. 7222404) and operates under full HMRC compliance. Our Birmingham warehouse is our operational heart — from where we receive, consolidate and dispatch parcels to 190+ countries worldwide.

Mission

Why We Exist

To remove the barriers between global commerce and the people it has left behind.

We give every customer in Africa and beyond a free seat at the table of international shopping — with the same addresses, pricing, and access that others take for granted.

No card declines. No unreachable retailers. No inflated courier costs. Just a straightforward path from any shop in the world to your front door.

Vision

Where We’re Headed

A world where your postcode doesn’t define what you can buy.

Where a shopper in Lagos has the same reach as a shopper in London. Where a family in Abuja can order from Amazon, Zara, Nike and Taobao — and have it all arrive in a single consolidated delivery.

We are building the logistics infrastructure that makes this possible — one shipment at a time, across the EU–UK–USA–Africa–Asia corridor.

Core Values

How We Show Up

Five principles that guide every decision we make

Transparency

No hidden fees. No surprises. We publish our rates openly and tell you exactly what your shipment will cost before you commit. What you see is what you pay — always.

Reliability

Every parcel we handle is treated like it’s our own. From the moment it arrives at our warehouse to the moment it reaches your door, we track it, protect it, and keep you informed at every step.

Compliance

We are UK-registered, HMRC-compliant, and fully above board. We don’t cut corners on customs, duties, or documentation — because your trust and your goods depend on it.

Accessibility

We built GLOBORD for people global commerce has historically overlooked. Whether it’s a card that keeps getting declined or a country international retailers won’t ship to — we are the bridge.

Community

We serve a community — and we act like we’re part of it. We understand the needs of the African diaspora and our customers in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and beyond because this work is personal to us.
