Have you ever been shopping at a UK retailer, only to find that the item you want can’t be shipped to your country? Or, worse, they will ship to your country but the delivery costs are incredible expensive? Astronomical even?
Parcel forwarding companies solve this problem by providing you with an address in the UK. They receive your package at their UK address, and then post (or forward) your delivery onto you at your address wherever you are in the world. The additional cost to you: whatever the company charges for postage and handling.
We’ve put together a list of a few of UK-based package forwarding companies, allowing you to compare and see which is the best option for you.
Forward2me
Forward2me are one of the largest UK-based parcel forwarding companies. They ship to more than 200 different countries around the world. There is no annual fee, you simply pay as and when you use their service. There is a shipping calculator on their website which allows you to estimate how much forwarding a package with them is likely to cost you. As well as UK addresses, Forward2me also offer addresses in Germany, Japan, Turkey, and Guernsey.
Borderlinx
Borderlinx is one of the largest parcel forwarding companies in the world. As well as an address in the UK, Borderlinx can also offer you an address in Ohio in the United States, Frankfurt in Germany, and Hong Kong.
My UK Mailbox
My UK Mailbox is an parcel forwarding company based in Sheffield in the United Kingdom. Like the other companies listed here, My UK Mailbox provides you with an address in the UK and then forwards your items onto you.
