PostUK UK Forwarding, Done Right

UK Address for Canada

Shop from any UK retailer and forward parcels to Canada. PostUK gives you a real UK delivery address — use it at checkout and we'll handle the rest.

From £7.99/month membership. Shipping paid per parcel.

Why Canadian shoppers use a UK address

Many popular UK retailers don't offer international shipping to Canada, or charge high rates that make it impractical. By using a PostUK address, you shop as a UK customer — the parcel is delivered to our UK depot, and we forward it on to your Canadian address.

This gives you access to UK-exclusive products, better UK pricing, and retailers that would otherwise be unavailable from Canada.

Transparent Pricing

Shipping costs depend on parcel weight, size, and courier service. With PostUK, you see all available options and the full total before you pay — no surprise charges. Use Quick Quote to estimate costs before you order from a UK retailer.

Canadian customs and import taxes

Canada has a low commercial de minimis threshold of CAD 20. This means most imported parcels are assessed for customs duty and GST/HST. The applicable rate depends on the type of goods and the province you are shipping to (federal GST is 5%; HST varies by province).

Any customs charges are your responsibility and are not included in PostUK forwarding costs. For a general overview of UK customs and duties, see our customs and duties guide.

Electronics note: Canada uses Type A/B plugs with 120V/60Hz power. UK electronics run on 220–240V/50Hz. Most modern devices (laptops, phones, tablets) are dual-voltage and will work in Canada, but you will need a plug adaptor. Check each product's specifications before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UK address for Canada?

A real UK delivery address through PostUK. Use it at checkout with UK retailers, and PostUK forwards your parcels on to Canada.

Why do I need a UK address?

Many UK retailers only deliver within the UK and don't ship to Canada. A UK forwarding address lets you shop as a UK customer and receive your parcels in Canada.

Will I pay Canadian customs or import taxes?

Most likely yes — Canada's commercial de minimis is CAD 20, so most parcels are assessed for customs duty and GST/HST. These charges are separate from PostUK costs. See our customs guide.

Will UK electronics work in Canada?

Most modern UK electronics are dual-voltage (check the label for "100–240V") and will work in Canada with a plug adaptor. Single-voltage devices (220–240V only) will not work without a voltage converter.

Can I consolidate multiple parcels?

Yes. PostUK offers consolidation — combine multiple UK orders into one shipment to save on forwarding costs to Canada.
