Why John Lewis doesn't deliver to Portugal
John Lewis restricts delivery to UK addresses only across almost all of its product range. Since Brexit, UK-to-Portugal shipments require customs declarations and commercial invoices. John Lewis has not built the infrastructure to handle international EU deliveries at scale, so customers in Portugal are left unable to order directly.
PostUK solves this by receiving John Lewis parcels at our UK depot and forwarding them on to Portugal. From John Lewis's perspective, it's a standard UK delivery.
What you can buy from John Lewis and forward to Portugal
John Lewis is best known for quality and after-sales care, and with a PostUK address the full range is open to you:
- Electronics and appliances — TVs, laptops, cameras, kitchen and home appliances, most with John Lewis's free guarantee (typically 2 years, and up to 5 on many TVs) included as standard.
- Homeware and furniture — bedding, kitchenware, lighting and the John Lewis ANYDAY value range, much of which is UK-delivery only.
- Nursery and baby — prams, cots and nursery furniture that Portuguese parents often can't source from UK brands directly.
- Fashion and beauty — own-label clothing plus premium beauty brands from the John Lewis beauty hall.
One thing to check: UK electronics ship with a UK three-pin plug and are set for 230V (the same as Portugal), so you'll usually just need a plug adaptor rather than a voltage converter.
Cost and delivery to Portugal
Forwarding to Portugal starts from around £10.26 for a small parcel and scales with weight and size — larger appliances and furniture cost more, so check the exact price with the Quick Quote tool before you order. Higher-value electronics can be insured for the forwarding leg.
We deliver to Lisbon, Porto, Faro and the Algarve, plus Madeira and the Azores (island surcharges may apply), with tracking from our UK depot to your door. Buying several items? PostUK can consolidate them into one shipment to save on forwarding.

Frequently asked questions
Does John Lewis deliver to Portugal?
No. John Lewis delivers to UK addresses only. PostUK gives you a UK address so you can order from the full John Lewis range and forward to Portugal.
Can I get John Lewis free delivery with PostUK?
Yes. John Lewis free UK delivery applies to your PostUK UK address. You then pay PostUK's forwarding cost to Portugal separately.
How much does forwarding to Portugal cost?
Costs depend on parcel weight and size. Use Quick Quote to get an estimate before you order from John Lewis.
Will I pay Portuguese IVA on my John Lewis order?
Portuguese IVA (23%) may apply to parcels received in Portugal from the UK. Customs duty applies to goods over €150. These are separate from PostUK forwarding costs. See our customs guide.
Does the John Lewis guarantee still apply in Portugal?
The John Lewis guarantee is provided in the UK. For repairs you would generally need the item back in the UK, but many products also carry a separate manufacturer's warranty valid across the EU. Keep your receipt and check the warranty terms before ordering high-value electronics.
Will UK electronics work in Portugal?
Yes — Portugal uses 230V, the same as the UK, so most electronics work with a simple UK-to-EU plug adaptor. No voltage converter is needed.
