B&Q Not Shipping to Spain
B&Q (diy.com) is the UK's largest DIY retailer and only delivers within the UK. For British expats in Spain — or anyone wanting UK paint colours, tools, and garden products at UK prices — PostUK gives you a UK delivery address so you can order from diy.com and forward to Spain.

Why British expats in Spain use PostUK for B&Q
Spain has its own DIY retailers — Leroy Merlin, Bricomart, Brico Depôt — but they stock different brands, different paint systems, and different product ranges to B&Q. For British expats who want:
- Specific UK paint colours — Dulux Heritage, Crown, and the Valspar mixing range are not available in Spain. Getting an exact shade match for UK décor requires ordering from diy.com.
- Familiar tool brands at UK prices — Dewalt, Bosch, and Karcher tools are available in Spain but often at higher prices than B&Q.
- Garden products — UK garden varieties, seeds, and equipment at UK prices.
- UK-standard fittings — specific bathroom and plumbing fittings that match existing UK-installed systems.

Note on UK electrical products in Spain
Spain uses Type C and F plugs (two round pins). UK electrical products use Type G (three square pins). Most modern power tools and appliances are dual voltage (100–240V), so they will work in Spain with a plug adaptor. Always check the voltage label before ordering UK electrical products for use in Spain.
Spanish IVA and customs on B&Q orders
Since Brexit, parcels from the UK to Spain are treated as EU imports. Spanish IVA (21%) may apply. Customs duty applies to goods over €150. These are assessed by Spanish customs and are not included in PostUK's forwarding fees. See our customs guide.
