PostUK UK Forwarding, Done Right

Guide • Updated for PostUK

How to Buy From UK Shops if You Live in Ireland

Many UK retailers don’t ship to Ireland. The simplest workaround is to use a UK delivery address, then forward the parcel to Ireland using a forwarding service.

Why some UK retailers don’t ship to Ireland

After Brexit, many UK retailers changed their shipping policies due to customs requirements, returns complexity, or carrier rules. That means your basket may be fine — until you reach checkout and Ireland isn’t an option.

The simple solution: use a UK delivery address

With PostUK, you get a UK delivery address (Northern Ireland). You shop as normal with a UK retailer and use your PostUK address at checkout. When your order arrives at our depot, it appears in your dashboard.

Step-by-step: how to forward to Ireland

  1. Create an account
    Choose membership and get your UK delivery address.
  2. Shop with a UK retailer
    Use your PostUK address at checkout.
  3. Parcel arrives at our depot
    We log it into your dashboard as At Depot.
  4. Choose shipping and pay
    Pick a courier option and pay securely online.
  5. Track delivery
    Tracking is added once available so you can follow it to your door.

How to estimate costs before you buy

Use Quick Quote to estimate shipping based on destination and weight. If your parcel is bulky, add dimensions so volumetric weight can be considered.
