Lite and Lite X are based on flat-rate shipping rates, which means that, unlike calculated shipping where address and dimensions may factor in, you pay one fixed price for a package of the same weight and value regardless of the destination*.
*Please keep in mind that depending on the regulations in your location, import fees and duties may apply.
forward2me Lite is our more affordable option that lets you ship your items for just £9.99 to any destination, no matter how far, without tracking. If you’d like to have a tracking number for your shipment, you can opt for our Lite X option which will let you keep tabs on your package as it leaves our warehouse and makes its way to you.
We know what you're going to ask next. "When will I get my package?" Short answer: delivery time for both services is up to 10 days. Long answer: it may depend on the destination and although we say 10 days just to be sure, you could be getting your shipment within only 3 days for Europe or 5 days to North and South America.
*Please allow for 10 days for delivery.

Our Lite services are suitable for anyone, regardless of where they might be in the world, who wants to have lightweight packages shipped from the UK. Whether it’s a one-of-a-kind item from a small boutique that doesn’t ship internationally or just a product that’s a better deal on the UK Amazon site, we’ll take care of your parcel at the cheapest fixed shipping rate you can find on the market.
Our low-cost shipping services are the ideal solutions to situations like these:
Emma is a British expat living in Bulgaria. Although she can find a lot of English brands at local stores, she still wants to treat herself to a cup of Twinings English Breakfast tea and a tin of Cartwright & Butler biscuits. So, she heads on over to an English website and orders her favorite items. With forward2me Lite, her shipping costs are lower than using the site’s international delivery and she can indulge in her favorite treats.
Sophie lives in Holland and wants to get a very special gift for her niece's first day of shool – a customized backpack with her favorite character Peter the Rabbit. Unfortunately, it is shipped only to the UK. Using Lite X wIth Protect+, Sophie can not only order the personalized backpack to a free UK address but she also has a guarantee that the value of her special gift is covered in case her parcel doesn't find its way to her.

When using our Lite and Lite X services, you can ship virtually anything that’s allowed by your country’s authorities as long as its volumetric or actual weight does not exceed 2 kg. Now, you may be thinking 2 kg doesn’t sound as a lot; what can I possibly be ordering that will fit the max weight? Well, trying to avoid clichés about good things and small packages, but there are actually quite a lot of items – from accessories and souvenirs to household items – that weigh less than 2 kg. Here are some examples:
| 0.5 KG | 1 KG | 1.5 KG | 2 KG |
|---|---|---|---|
| HARDCOVER BOOK | SOFT CAT BED | PAIR OF SNEAKERS | LEATHER HANDBAG |
| ACCESSORIES (HAT, PAIR OF GLOVES) | TOASTER | UKULELE | PAIR OF BOOTS |
| FOOTBALL | MONOPOLY BOARD | 10 VINYL RECORDS | COAT |
Whenever you ship goods internationally, you need to be aware of certain global shipping restrictions and prohibited items. There are certain commodities that you won’t be able to have shipped due to regulatory, safety, or other reasons. Such items cannot be exported from the origin country or territory or imported to the destination.
WHAT ARE THE MOST FREQUENTLY SHIPPED ITEMS FROM THE UK?
We see many items shipped from our UK warehouse – from sweets and tea to collectibles, royal family merchandise, clothing and shoes, and even baby formula. forward2me Lite and Lite X are ideal options for purchasing small items like rare books, vintage vinyl records, and quality cosmetics and makeup.

Depending on the destination country and weight forward2me will pick a shipping partner of its choice.
Lite and Lite X are postal services which is why they only support lower weights. Depending on the destination country, the shipment might fly with FedEx or UPS to the nearest major hub and from there be delivered by the national postal network such as USPS.
This service is cheaper because forward2me provides the service at an operating loss in order to draw attention to its more premium services. This is the same as a supermarket treats bread and milk.
