Forward2Me

Forward2me provide free forwarding addresses in the UK, USA, Germany, Japan and Turkey, allowing you to shop from retailers that don't normally ship internationally from these locations. Their number of forwarding addresses means that if you are a regular shopper from multiple countries, Forward2me should be able to suit your needs. You can then choose from their selection of available international couriers and have your purchases delivered worldwide to your door.

There is no membership fee and you are charged only when you actually forward a package. As with all couriers, shipping prices depend upon the warehouse location, your destination, courier choice and the package weight and dimensions. Their online shipping calculator shows the total forwarding and service cost before you ship, be aware that customs duties and taxes are not included.

You can consolidate packages or use Combine & Repack to reduce shipping costs. Your packages can be stored for 30 days free, after which storage costs £0.50 per package per day. Combine & Repack costs £3 per package in the UK/USA, €3 in Europe, or ¥600 in Japan, plus VAT where applicable.

Other services that they provide are personal shopping, returns shipping, dangerous-goods handling and specialist packaging services which are available at additional cost, (see below).

As well as Delaware US address, Forward2me also offers a tax-free UK warehouse (Guernsey) for eligible purchases and a Lite service from £9.99 for lightweight parcels, although the Lite service is untracked.
