PostUK

PostUK provides a UK parcel forwarding service from its depot in Northern Ireland, giving you a UK delivery address from a location that is different to the British mainland.

Membership costs £7.99 per month or £71.90 per year, with a 99p first-month offer currently advertised. Membership includes many services including parcel handling, arrival notifications, consolidation of eligible parcels, bulky packaging removal and parcel photographs on request.

Shipping is charged separately according to the parcel's weight, dimensions, destination and courier, with options including Royal Mail, DHL, FedEx and UPS. PostUK claims to forward on to 120+ countries with tracking available if required.

A key feature is its Northern Ireland location, particularly for shipments to Ireland and the EU. PostUK says this allows qualifying goods to move into the EU without the customs charges and carrier handling fees that can apply to shipments from mainland Great Britain. This is a state of affairs that became open to Northern Irish companies after the UK exit from the EU known as Brexit.

The company also offers parcel consolidation and can arrange duties to be paid, DDP, in advance where available, you will need to request these service if you want them.

Shipping costs vary by destination; for example, indicative rates to New Zealand start at £20.92 for 0.5kg with Evri, £48.84 with Parcelforce and £60.01 with FedEx Priority.
