eBay buyers embrace UK Postbox

We have seen a massive increase in ebay and online shoppers using UK Post with the ADDRESS and SEND service.
If you use online (internet) shopping from outside the UK this service is ideal as it allows you to order and have goods sent to your own UK Postbox address, we will collect, store and forward to you overseas.
Many internet sites will not ship goods outside the UK, but now with UK Postbox you can order goods from any UK based website and have them sent to your UK Postbox address. We will sign for all packages on your behalf and then upload the details of the package and a digital picture of the outside packaging to your secure online account. You then are able to request to have the item forwarded to any address worldwide or wait until more items arrive and then send a larger parcel - with UK Postbox you are in control.

If you experience any problems with online shops where your credit card is not registered to your UK Postbox address, we can debt you credit card and then process the order and payment on your behalf. There is a small handling charge (dependant on purchase type and value) for this extra service, please email us for further information.

Online shopping from outside the UK has never been easier

People are talking about us:

"Fabulous - thanks so much Allan, I certainly will let people know! Great service - and super-speedy too! Thanks!"
Lauren, Birmingham

"I have been looking for a service like this for months. I have moved to Turkey and post is a real problem, now I receive everything online, what a brilliant service. I will be telling other expats living out here."
David, Turkey

"I have started a business from home and you have made things a lot easier. I did not want to use my home address in case customers turned up here and also I am hoping to move out to an office when business picks up and I do not want to be changing address.  I have looked at mail forwarding services, but I have to say that this is much more cost effective and 100% convenient."
Ray, Bournemouth

"I have moved 6 times over the years and having to change my address every time has been a nightmare. With UK Postbox I will now never have to change my address again, an address for life where ever I am, that's great."
Ian, Birmingham

"UK Postbox has made our lives a lot easier. We moved to Spain but desperately needed to keep a UK address. Your service is outstanding and has made a big difference to us. As well as receiving our mail online, we are now able to shop on the internet from our favourite UK stores and get it delivered out here."
Heather and Jon, Marbella

"What did expats do before UK Postbox?"
Paul, Spain

"I run a small transport company and spend lots of time away from home, driving throughout Europe. I now check my post everyday while on the road. An invaluable service for all drivers."
Gavin, Crawley
