How to Buy From Amazon UK and Ship Internationally

What Amazon UK sells

Amazon.co.uk stocks millions of products across every category imaginable — electronics, books, fashion, beauty, home, garden, toys, and more. Many UK sellers offer products exclusively on the UK site, and pricing can differ significantly from other regional Amazon stores.

Why Amazon UK doesn't always ship internationally

While Amazon UK does offer international delivery on some items, a large proportion of products — particularly those sold by third-party sellers or Amazon's own brands — are restricted to UK delivery only. Items marked "This item does not ship to [your country]" are common, especially for electronics, health products, and marketplace sellers.

How PostUK solves this

PostUK gives you a UK delivery address that works with Amazon UK. Add it to your Amazon address book and use it at checkout for any item — including those restricted to UK-only delivery. We receive the parcel at our depot and forward it to your international address.

Step by step

1. Create a PostUK account
   Sign up and get your personal UK delivery address.
2. Add your PostUK address to Amazon
   Save it in your Amazon UK address book for easy checkout.
3. Shop on Amazon UK
   Add items to your basket and select your PostUK address at checkout.
4. Parcel arrives at our depot
   We log it into your dashboard as At Depot.
5. Choose shipping and pay
   Pick a courier option for your country and pay securely online.

Tips for ordering from Amazon UK

• Use Amazon Prime: Prime next-day delivery applies to your PostUK address. You get fast UK delivery to our depot and only pay the forwarding leg internationally.
• Compare prices: Amazon UK prices are often lower than Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, or Amazon.es for the same product. Factor in forwarding costs when comparing.
• Consolidate orders: hold multiple Amazon parcels at our depot and forward them in one shipment. Usually cheaper than forwarding each separately.
• Check item restrictions before ordering: a small number of items have manufacturer export restrictions. If an item says it won't ship to your PostUK postcode, it cannot be forwarded via any service.
• Declare accurately: when forwarding to EU countries, correct customs declarations (description and value) help avoid delays at customs.

What's exclusively on Amazon UK?

Amazon UK stocks a wide range of products that are unavailable or significantly more expensive on other regional Amazon sites. Popular categories for international shoppers include:

• UK health and supplements: Myprotein, Bulk, PhD Nutrition, Optimum Nutrition UK pricing — often half the price of Amazon.es
• UK books and media: UK-edition books, textbooks, and region-specific releases not available internationally
• UK fashion and footwear: UK brands, UK-exclusive colourways, and limited releases from ASOS-affiliated sellers
• Electronics: UK plug variants, UK warranty products, and electronics not sold in other markets
• Baby and children's: UK-specification products compliant with British safety standards
• Amazon UK marketplace sellers: independent sellers offering products only available through Amazon UK

Amazon UK not shipping to your country?

Many Amazon UK products show "This item does not ship to [country]" for international addresses. Your PostUK UK address removes this restriction — Amazon ships to you as a UK customer.
