UK Parcel Forwarding Explained
UK parcel forwarding allows you to shop from UK retailers that don’t ship internationally. You use a UK delivery address, then forward your parcel to Ireland or Europe.
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.
