Frequently Asked Questions
How long does shipping to Portugal take?
Standard services to Portugal typically take 4–7 working days. Estimated delivery times are shown before payment so you can choose the right option.
Will I pay Portuguese customs duties?
Portugal is in the EU, so imports from the UK may be subject to EU customs duties and Portuguese IVA (23% standard rate). Parcels under €150 are generally exempt from customs duty, but IVA may still apply. See our customs and duties guide for more detail.
Which UK shops don't ship to Portugal?
Many UK retailers restricted EU delivery after Brexit, including Next, Currys, Argos, John Lewis, M&S, and some Amazon UK sellers. PostUK works with all of them.
Can I consolidate multiple parcels before shipping to Portugal?
Yes. PostUK offers parcel consolidation — we combine multiple parcels into one shipment to reduce your overall forwarding cost.
