Why people in Portugal need a UK address
Since Brexit, many UK retailers no longer deliver directly to Portugal. UK-to-Portugal shipments require EU customs declarations, which many sellers avoid by restricting delivery to UK addresses only. British expats living in Portugal, and Portuguese shoppers wanting access to UK-exclusive products and UK pricing, regularly face this barrier.
PostUK provides a personal UK delivery address. Shop from any UK retailer as a UK customer would. When your parcel arrives at our depot, we forward it to your address in Portugal.
What British expats in Portugal use a UK address for
Portugal is home to one of Europe's largest British expat communities — across the Algarve, Lisbon, Porto, the Silver Coast and Madeira. A UK address keeps the UK brands and products you're used to within easy reach:
- High-street favourites — Marks & Spencer, Next and John Lewis clothing and homeware that rarely ship to Portugal.
- Boots and UK pharmacy lines — No7, own-brand vitamins and health products that aren't sold in Portuguese pharmacies.
- Children's clothing and school uniform — UK sizing and ranges expat families struggle to source locally.
- Electronics and appliances — Currys and Argos tech; Portugal uses 230V like the UK, so most items work with a simple plug adaptor.
- Amazon UK — the full catalogue, including the many marketplace sellers that won't post to Portugal.
Because you check out as a UK customer, you also get UK pricing and UK sale events — often cheaper than buying the same brands locally or through an EU storefront.
