What is UK parcel forwarding?

UK parcel forwarding is a service that provides you with a UK delivery address. You shop with UK online retailers as normal and use that address at checkout. When your parcel arrives, it is forwarded on to your actual location.

Why people use parcel forwarding

Many UK retailers do not ship to Ireland or EU countries due to customs, VAT, or carrier restrictions. Parcel forwarding removes this limitation by keeping the delivery within the UK initially.

How parcel forwarding works in practice

1. Create an account
   You receive a UK delivery address linked to your account.
2. Shop with UK retailers
   Use your UK address at checkout.
3. Parcel arrives at the depot
   The parcel is logged into your dashboard with weight and size details.
4. Choose shipping and pay
   Select a courier option, pay securely online, and confirm dispatch.
5. Track delivery
   Tracking details are added so you can follow delivery to your door.

What you pay for

Parcel forwarding typically involves two costs:

• Membership: access to a UK delivery address and dashboard
• Shipping: paid per parcel when you choose a courier

With PostUK, shipping prices are shown before payment so you always know the cost.

Who parcel forwarding is for

Parcel forwarding is ideal for customers in Ireland and Europe who want access to UK-only retailers, limited UK releases, or better UK pricing.
