Ship UK Advent Calendars Abroad
The UK's best advent calendars — Boots, Sephora, Selfridges, Harrods, Liberty, LookFantastic — sell out in days and most won't ship outside the UK. PostUK gives you a free UK delivery address: buy the calendar the moment it drops, have it sent to us, and we forward it to your door in Ireland or Europe.
No more "sorry, we don't deliver to your country" at checkout. Shop any UK retailer, we receive it, and you choose a tracked courier with the full price shown before you pay — forwarding from £18.55.
⏳ 2026 calendars are landing now and going fast — grab yours early, before it's sold out everywhere.
Free to sign up. Membership £7.99/month or £71.90/year (3 months free).
✅ Shipping to Ireland? Nothing to pay on delivery
Because PostUK forwards from Northern Ireland — inside the EU single market for goods — your advent calendar reaches the Republic of Ireland with no EU customs charge and no courier handling fee. Nothing extra for you to pay at the door, unlike parcels sent direct from mainland Britain.
Sending to Spain, Germany, France, Italy or the Netherlands? You'll always see the full delivered cost upfront and we handle the export paperwork — no guesswork at checkout.

Every autumn the UK's beauty and lifestyle brands release limited-run advent calendars — and they're some of the best-value in the world, often worth several times their price in products. The catch: they're made for the UK market. Retailers like Boots, Sephora UK, Selfridges and Harrods either don't ship them internationally at all, or restrict international orders — so shoppers in Ireland, Spain, Germany and beyond get blocked at the checkout.
They also sell out fast. The most wanted calendars are gone within days of release, long before any "we're sorry, we don't deliver to your country" workaround appears. A UK address solves both problems: you buy the instant it drops, exactly like a UK shopper, and PostUK forwards it wherever you are.

💡 Buying more than one? Combine and save
Beauty advent calendars are heavier than they look — a full 24-day set can weigh 1.5–4 kg, so forwarding is priced on weight (and, for a big box, volumetric weight). The smart move if you're buying a few — one for you, one as a gift — is parcel consolidation: have them all sent to your UK address, and we combine them into a single shipment so you pay one forwarding cost instead of several.

How Much Does It Cost to Forward an Advent Calendar?
Forwarding starts at £18.55 (Royal Mail Tracked to Ireland, up to 0.5 kg). Because advent calendars are on the heavier side, most land a little above that — the exact price depends on the calendar's weight and size, your country, and the courier you choose. You always see the full total before you pay, with no hidden fees from PostUK.

UK Advent Calendar Forwarding — FAQs
Can I buy a Boots or Sephora advent calendar if I live abroad?
Yes. Sign up for a free PostUK UK address and use it at the Boots or Sephora UK checkout, exactly like a UK shopper. Once it arrives at our depot, we forward it to your country. This works even when the retailer doesn't offer international delivery.
Why can't I order a UK advent calendar directly to my country?
Many UK beauty and lifestyle brands only sell their advent calendars to UK addresses, or restrict international orders. A UK forwarding address removes that block — you buy as a UK customer and we handle the shipping abroad.
Will I pay customs on an advent calendar sent to Ireland?
PostUK forwards from Northern Ireland, inside the EU single market for goods, so parcels reach the Republic of Ireland with no EU customs charge and nothing to pay on delivery. For other countries, any local VAT or duty that applies remains the recipient's responsibility and isn't included in PostUK's fees — you'll always see the forwarding cost upfront. See our customs and duties guide.
How much does it cost to forward an advent calendar?
Forwarding starts at £18.55 to Ireland. Advent calendars are heavier than they look (often 1.5–4 kg), so the final price depends on weight, size, destination and courier. Use the Quick Quote tool for an exact figure.
Can I combine several advent calendars into one shipment?
Yes — that's usually the cheapest way. Have each one sent to your UK address and PostUK consolidates them into a single parcel, so you pay one forwarding cost. See parcel consolidation.
Will it arrive in time for December?
If you order early it will. The biggest risk isn't shipping time — it's the calendar selling out. Buy as soon as it launches, forward it promptly, and you'll have it well before December 1st. Every shipment is tracked door to door.
