Why UK retailers don't ship to Australia
Australia is one of the UK's largest export markets for online shopping, but a significant number of UK retailers still don't offer Australian delivery — or limit it heavily. The main reasons:
- Long-haul shipping costs: UK to Australia is one of the longer parcel routes. The cost and logistics complexity lead many retailers to restrict delivery to nearby markets.
- Customs paperwork: every international shipment from the UK requires export declarations. Some smaller retailers don't have the systems to handle this at scale.
- Returns complexity: a customer returning a parcel from Australia to the UK is expensive and slow — many retailers avoid this risk by not offering AU delivery at all.
- UK-only business model: some UK brands are simply set up for domestic delivery only and have never expanded their courier contracts to include Australia.
How PostUK solves it

Popular UK shops Australians love
These are some of the UK brands most frequently used by Australian customers through PostUK:
- Gymshark: the UK's biggest fitness brand — Australian demand is high and UK drops often sell out before reaching the Australian store.
- ASOS UK: wider range and often better sale prices than the ASOS AU site.
- Next: clothing, homeware, and kids' items widely searched by Australians who know the brand from the UK.
- Primark: no Australian stores at all — PostUK is the only way to buy Primark and ship to Australia.
- Marks & Spencer: popular with British expats in Australia and those who know the brand.
- John Lewis: premium homeware and electronics at UK prices.
- Nike UK: limited editions and colourways released exclusively on the UK Nike store.
Save on long-haul forwarding with consolidation
Australia is a long-haul destination, so forwarding costs are higher than to Europe. Parcel consolidation is especially valuable here — PostUK can hold multiple parcels from different UK retailers and combine them into a single shipment.
One consolidated shipment to Australia costs significantly less than forwarding three separate parcels. Use the Quick Quote tool to compare costs before ordering.
Frequently asked questions

Primark (no international delivery at all), many Next lines, Argos, most smaller UK clothing brands, and a large proportion of Amazon UK marketplace sellers. PostUK gives you access to all of them.
How do I shop UK websites from Australia?
Sign up for a PostUK account, get your UK address, and use it at checkout on any UK website. We receive the parcel and forward it to Australia.
