Why Use PostUK for Shipping from the UK to Spain?
- Access UK-only retailers: many popular UK shops — fashion, electronics, homeware, and more — do not ship internationally. A UK forwarding address gives you full access to all of them.
- Brexit shipping restrictions: since Brexit, many UK retailers stopped offering delivery to Spain. PostUK routes around this — you shop as a UK customer and we handle the rest.
- Parcel consolidation: ordered from several UK retailers? PostUK can combine multiple parcels into one shipment to Spain, saving on postage costs.
- Compare courier services: instead of being locked into a retailer's shipping terms, you choose your own courier and service level when forwarding to Spain.
- Full tracking: every shipment to Spain includes tracking from our UK depot to your door.
- Transparent postage pricing: you see the full shipping cost before you pay — no surprises from PostUK.
- Insurance available: optional shipment insurance is available for higher-value items. The option is shown during checkout when selecting a courier.

Customs and Import Duties When Posting to Spain from the UK
Spain is an EU member state. Since Brexit, parcels shipped from the UK to Spain are treated as imports from outside the EU. This has customs implications worth understanding before you order.
- Customs duty: parcels with a declared value under €150 are generally exempt from EU customs duty. Above this threshold, duty may apply depending on the goods category.
- Spanish VAT (IVA): even for parcels under €150, Spanish IVA (currently 21% standard rate) may be charged on import. This applies regardless of any VAT already paid in the UK.
- Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla: these territories have separate customs regimes from mainland Spain. Different rules and charges may apply when posting to these destinations.
- Who pays: any applicable customs charges or import IVA are the responsibility of the recipient. These are separate from PostUK's shipping fees and are not collected by us.
- Accurate declarations: PostUK completes export documentation based on the parcel contents. Accurate item descriptions help avoid delays at Spanish customs.
For more detail, see our customs and duties guide.
Who Uses PostUK to Forward Parcels to Spain?
PostUK is used by a wide range of customers based in Spain, each with a different reason for needing a UK delivery address:
- British expats in Spain: people who have moved to Barcelona, Madrid, the Costa del Sol, Mallorca, the Canary Islands, or elsewhere in Spain and still want to shop from the UK retailers and brands they know.
- Spanish shoppers accessing UK prices and products: UK retailers often have better pricing, wider ranges, and products not available in Spain — supplements, outdoor gear, tech accessories, and branded fashion in particular.
- Amazon UK shoppers in Spain: a large proportion of Amazon.co.uk products — especially from marketplace sellers — are restricted to UK delivery only. A PostUK address removes that restriction. See: Amazon UK not shipping to Spain.
- Frequent UK brand buyers: people who order regularly from ASOS, Next, Boots, Sports Direct, Holland & Barrett, or Currys benefit from a permanent UK address rather than arranging one-off forwarding each time.
FAQs — Shipping from the UK to Spain
How much does postage to Spain cost from the UK?
Postage costs from the UK to Spain depend on parcel weight, dimensions, and your chosen courier. PostUK shows you all available courier options with their full prices when your parcel arrives at our UK depot — before you commit. Use the postage quote tool to get an estimate before placing your UK order.
How long does shipping from the UK to Spain take?

How do I send a parcel to Spain from the UK?
With PostUK, you create a free account, get a UK delivery address, and use that address when shopping at UK retailers. Your parcel is received at our UK depot and forwarded to your Spain address. You choose the courier, pay the postage online, and track delivery all the way to Spain.
How much does it cost to post a parcel to Spain?
Postage to Spain from the UK varies by weight. Small parcels under 1 kg start from a few pounds. Heavier or bulkier items cost more. Use the quick quote tool to get an accurate postage estimate for your parcel size.
Will I have to pay Spanish customs duties or IVA?
Possibly. Spain is in the EU, so UK imports may be subject to Spanish IVA (21% standard rate) and, for parcels valued over €150, customs duty. These charges are assessed by Spanish customs and are the responsibility of the recipient — they are not included in PostUK's shipping fees.
Can I buy from UK shops that do not ship to Spain?
Yes. Many UK retailers stopped shipping to Spain after Brexit. PostUK gives you a real UK delivery address so those retailers can ship to you as a normal UK customer. We then forward the parcel on to your Spain address. It works for any UK shop, regardless of their international shipping policy.
Can I send a parcel to Barcelona or Madrid?
Yes. PostUK ships to all major Spanish cities including Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Valencia, and Málaga. Just enter your Spanish delivery address and select from the available courier services at checkout.
Can I ship to Ibiza or the Balearic Islands?
Yes. Parcel delivery to Ibiza, Mallorca, and other Balearic Islands is available. Island surcharges may apply depending on the courier. Available services and postage costs are shown during checkout.
Can I ship to the Canary Islands?
Shipping to the Canary Islands is available, but the Canary Islands have a separate customs regime from mainland Spain. Different duties and import rules may apply compared to posting to mainland Spain.
Can I combine multiple UK parcels into one shipment to Spain?
Yes. PostUK offers parcel consolidation. If you have ordered from several UK retailers, we can combine the parcels into a single shipment to Spain — which is often more cost-effective than forwarding each parcel separately.
Can I track my parcel being shipped from the UK to Spain?
Yes. Tracking is included with every shipment. Once dispatched, you can follow your parcel from our UK depot to your address in Spain.
