More and more China Brick Shops have overseas warehouses (EU, US…) with fast shipping and no import hassles, here are my favorites
Most alternative non-LEGO brick sets come from China, and many are only available via direct import. They are available from the big players like Aliexpress, TEMU, etc. But there are also smaller, Chinese shops focusing on brick sets.
Community favorites include Yourwoob (Your World Of Building Blocks), JoyToyWorld, Barweer, Youmko, Hitian, Jooooy (with five o), or Afobrick. Two advantages of ordering from China are: the unbeatable prices and the huge selection of sets.
Orders take, on average, 14 days. If you order from Europe, the order should arrive in 10 days. That’s my experience so far with the shops. But it may take longer, depending on the current situation.
Things can be very different if you order at the beginning of the year (January – February). Then, it could be that you slip into the Chinese New Year holidays.
During this event, the shops and shipping providers close. In 2024, many Chinese brick shops will close from Feb 4 to Feb 17. Orders will only be processed afterward.
China Brick Shops With EU, US, CA… Warehouses
However, some shops also offer overseas warehouses in the EU, US, CN (Canada), and more. The selection in these is smaller, but they also ship during the holidays. You also benefit from faster deliveries because the sets are in the respective regions.
Prices are often higher but still attractive compared to other resellers. Be careful; some shops charge additional shipping costs. So don’t be surprised if the prices are extremely low.
Here are BRICK ANATOMY’s favorite China Brick Shops with overseas warehouses (EU, US…)
- *Yourwoob: EU, US, and CA warehouses with a focus on Mould King sets (4% OFF with BRICKANATOMY coupon code)
- *Barweer: EU, US, and Canada warehouses with a large selection of sets (13% OFF use BrickAnatomy-Barweer)
- *Youmko: EU, US, and Canada warehouse with various MOCs and clones from a famous Danish company
- Hitian: a super small selection of Mould King sets in a “beta status” EU warehouse.
Others
Two other China Brick shops have overseas warehouses, but I cannot personally recommend them.
First, Doinbby, not so much because of the service, but the payment is more difficult. Paypal only works via private messages, etc. Like Barweer and Youmko, the Doinbby prices are without shipping.
Another is Herotoyz, which also has various global warehouses (EU, USA, Canada, and Australia). I haven’t had any personal experience here, but the prices aren’t that attractive that I would order here.
I hope there will be more Brick Shops with overseas warehouses. So, people who don’t like ordering from China can order here and benefit from attractive prices.
