PSA Announces London-Area Expansion for 2026
PSA has reached another major milestone in its international expansion, announcing plans to open a dedicated UK Receiving Center in the Greater London area, currently targeted for launch in the second half of 2026.
Following recent investments in mainland Europe, this move reinforces PSA’s long-term commitment to the UK collecting community, making professional grading services more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective for collectors across the region.
Removing Barriers for UK Collectors
For years, UK collectors have faced challenges when submitting cards for grading, including high international shipping costs, customs delays, and currency fluctuations. The new PSA UK Receiving Center is designed to remove these obstacles entirely:
- No Customs Hassle
Submissions routed through the UK center will avoid the usual complexities and delays of cross-border customs checks. - Lower Shipping Costs
Collectors will benefit from affordable domestic shipping within the UK, simplifying the submission process and reducing overall costs. - Local Pricing in GBP
All pricing will be offered in pounds sterling (GBP), eliminating concerns around exchange rates and international transaction fees.
A Long-Term Investment in the UK Hobby
This expansion highlights PSA’s commitment to growing the hobby locally while supporting collectors closer to home. As part of the investment, PSA plans to hire approximately 20 new team members across Operations, Logistics, Customer Service, and Marketing roles over the next year.
Collectors will continue to have flexibility in how they submit, with the option to use PSA-operated solutions as well as existing PSA partners throughout the region.
How the UK Receiving Center Will Work
Once operational, the process will be simple and streamlined:
- UK collectors send their submissions to the secure PSA Receiving Center in Greater London using standard domestic postage.
- Items are then forwarded for grading.
- After grading is completed, collectibles are returned to the UK Receiving Center for final delivery — avoiding customs delays on the way back.
More Details Coming Soon
PSA will share the official address, submission procedures, and job opportunities as the 2026 launch date approaches. Collectors are encouraged to follow @PSAcard for ongoing updates on this important step in PSA’s global growth.
This new UK Receiving Center marks a significant step forward for collectors, making grading simpler, faster, and more accessible than ever before.
