Why UK shops stopped delivering to Spain
Before Brexit, UK retailers could ship to Spain with minimal hassle. That changed in January 2021. UK-to-Spain shipments are now international exports requiring customs declarations, commercial invoices, and — for some retailers — VAT registration in Spain. The administrative burden led many UK retailers to restrict or stop EU deliveries entirely.
Spain is one of the most popular destinations for British expats and international shoppers who want access to UK brands, UK pricing, and products not available locally.
UK shops that commonly don't ship to Spain
These are some of the most-searched UK retailers among customers based in Spain:
- ASOS — fashion, shoes, accessories. UK pricing and range are often better than local alternatives.
- Next — clothing, homeware, children's wear. International delivery is limited for many product lines.
- Currys — UK's largest electronics retailer. Delivery outside the UK 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, food. International delivery is restricted on most items.
- Amazon UK — many marketplace sellers restrict to UK addresses. See our dedicated Amazon UK not shipping to Spain page.
- Nike UK — UK-exclusive releases, colourways, and competitive UK pricing.
PostUK works with any UK retailer that delivers within the UK — not just these shops.

Frequently asked questions
Why do UK shops not deliver to Spain?
Post-Brexit customs requirements led many UK retailers to remove EU delivery options. PostUK bypasses this by receiving your parcels at a UK address first, then forwarding to Spain.
Which UK shops don't ship to Spain?
Many popular retailers including ASOS, Next, Currys, Argos, John Lewis, M&S, and Amazon marketplace sellers restrict or don't offer delivery to Spain. PostUK works with all of them.
Is it legal to use a UK forwarding address?
Yes. UK parcel forwarding is completely legal. You provide a real UK address for delivery and PostUK ships the parcel on to you internationally.
Will I pay IVA or customs charges?
Spanish IVA (21%) may apply, plus customs duty on goods over €150. These are charged by Spanish customs and are separate from PostUK prices. See our customs guide.
