International shipping using a UK parcel forwarding company
The real pleasure of shopping online is to be able purchase anything without any restrictions. Or, in UK are many online stores who ship only locally, so that if you live outside this country you will have to wait for chance to appear to get you so wanted clothes, bags or cupboard food in your home. A service born of necessity, UK parcel forwarding solve the problem of international shipping and help buyers get their goods wherever they are in the world.
I recently purchased a Nikon Coolpix L330 Compact Digital Camera from Amazon.co.uk and since they don't ship to Australia i used a UK forwarding service to get shipped here without any problems.
Indeed, the shipping costs were a bit higher in the end because of additional charges, but when you acutely need an item this is the best way to go.
How international shipping from UK works
The majority of UK forwarders act the same way. You sign up with them, free or for a symbolic fee, and get your own UK address with a unique account number.
From here you can shop on any British retailer and use your UK mailing address at the checkout. Ordered goods will be delivered to the forwarder warehouse and from there forwarded on to you.
It's a pretty simple scheme of operating but with big benefits for you. One of them is lower international shipping rates. This is because forwarders get lower shipping rates due to large orders from international couriers. So that they can pass these discounts further on customers making shipping with them very attractive.
You may ask your forwarding company to box up more items from different stores into one package and ship to you as a single shipment. This service is known as parcel repackaging or consolidation and it's a good way to cut on shipping costs and also have all your items arrived at once.
What you have to know when shopping UK online stores
1.Weight-based shipping rates are not applied to all products. Sometimes you will be charged based on item's dimension. For example, international shipping fee for 3 lbs of wool will be higher than 3 lbs of binding material despite their weight the same.
2.There are online stores who require your billing address to be the same as you credit card. The solution is buy for me service when forwarder buy anything you need on your behalf and then forward them to you.
3.Some UK based retailers may refuse to ship to forwarders. Ask your forwarding company about this aspect before signing up with them.
Shipping cost calculator
All forwarding companies put at your disposal a shipping rate calculator where you will get a rough estimation of you shipping costs. Aside of this, make sure there are no hidden costs like fuel surcharges or import fees.
Look for reviews to make up your decision
There are several companies you can choose from. When selecting the best one look for what other people say about their services. Trustpilot, SiteJabber, Google Reviews, Facebook Reviews are the sources you have to check before picking up a forwarder. The more positive reviews they have, the greater chances you will be satisfied with your choice. One of these UK mail and parcel forwarding service is MyUKmailbox
with dozens of positive reviews left there by customers very happy with this service. If you want to check their services and rates check their website or stay tuned to their Facebook or Twitter page for great sales deals.

I need a Uk shipping address, what to do?
Wherever you are in this world, when it comes to shopping online from Uk retailers you may face a big problem - no shipping to your home country. This is the moment you get online and start asking on Google help to address this problem. You are not the only one encountering it, so someone had already found a solution.
I was totally amazed when stumbled on these kind of services and liked them right from the start. My reaction was something like this :)
When i put the same question to my Fb friends i was told to Google for “Mail Forwarding Company in UK”. Since had no knowledge about this concept i began to read articles about these kind of services, how can i benefit of them and what are the costs.
It took me some time, but in the end i was sure that this is what i need to enjoy shopping from different British retailers who don't’ ship in my country and still get my orders within days or a week.
How they works?
Sign up with them and they give you a Uk mailing address where you can send your items to. Now you can shop on Ebay, Amazon, BestBuy and ship to your new address. Further forwarding company will ship the items to your home country at mentioned address.
It can be simpler than this. But the next thing you comes in your mind is how much you have to pay for such services? It depends on the company. If some can can charge a small fee when signing up with them, others can offer annual membership with a lot of benefits.
One of them are parcel consolidation and repackaging. Forwarder receives your items from different retailers, consolidate them into one single box and send it to you.
This way you save a lot on shipping, since you pay for a one box and not five or six. Also, you can be sure that products inside it are accurately packaged, so that damage will occur.
This kind of business covers all your needs as an expats. Personal shopper or BuyForMe service will send to you goods you can shop only on British supermarkets. You will be charged up to 10% of the value of transactions. Is this expensive? No, when you don’t want to bother a friend or parents who still live in England and burden with tasks that you can manage by yourself for a modest fee.
I’m more than happy to have at disposal such service. I already chose a company who forward me mails and packages from Uk and even do personal shopping for me. Click here to visit it. Till now i saved hundreds on shipping and want spread the world that you can cut your expensive at half too.
