UK Shops Not Shipping to Ireland

Why UK shops stopped delivering to Ireland
Before Brexit, UK retailers could ship to Ireland with minimal friction — it was effectively treated as a domestic order. That changed in January 2021. Now, goods sent from Great Britain to Ireland are international exports, requiring customs declarations, commercial invoices, and in some cases VAT registration in Ireland.
Many UK retailers decided the complexity wasn't worth it and simply removed Ireland from their delivery options. Others still offer Irish delivery but restrict certain product categories, charge high international fees, or exclude sale items. The result: Irish customers frequently hit dead ends at checkout.
UK shops that commonly don't ship to Ireland
These are some of the most searched UK retailers among Irish customers who can't get delivery:
- ASOS — fashion, shoes, and accessories. UK pricing and product range is often better than Irish equivalents.
- Next — clothing, homeware, and children's wear. International delivery is limited for many product lines.
- Currys — the UK's largest electronics retailer. Delivery to Ireland is not available.
- Argos — electronics, toys, home goods. UK-only delivery across the full catalogue.
- John Lewis — electronics, home, fashion. Most items are UK delivery only.
- Marks & Spencer — clothing, homeware. International shipping is restricted on most items.
- Amazon UK — many marketplace sellers restrict delivery to UK addresses. See our dedicated Amazon UK not shipping to Ireland page.
- Nike UK — UK colourways, exclusive releases, and better pricing than some regional stores.
PostUK works with any UK retailer that delivers within the UK — not just these eight.

Frequently asked questions
Why do UK shops not deliver to Ireland?
Since Brexit, UK-to-Ireland deliveries require customs paperwork. Many retailers stopped shipping internationally to avoid the complexity. PostUK bypasses this by receiving parcels at a UK address first.
Which UK shops don't ship to Ireland?
Many popular retailers including ASOS, Next, Currys, Argos, John Lewis, M&S, and Amazon marketplace sellers restrict or don't offer Irish delivery. PostUK works with all of them.
Is this legal?
Yes. UK parcel forwarding is completely legal. You provide a real UK address for delivery and PostUK ships the parcel to you internationally. It's a standard, widely used service.
Will I pay customs charges?
Irish import VAT (23%) may apply to your parcels. Customs duty applies to goods valued over €150. These are separate from PostUK prices and are collected by customs or the courier. See our customs guide for details.
