Originally established as a book retailer, Amazon UK has become one of the UK’s main online retailers over the past 20 years. Amazon UK offers just about anything you could wish to buy, and the prices are often the most competitive on the market. Whether you’re looking to buy gadgets, beauty products, gardening tools, or even clothes, Amazon UK has you covered.
Amazon UK allows customers to purchase products from them directly, as well as from thousands of independent sellers. With this range of choice, and a review system that allows consumers to make informed decisions, it isn’t hard to see why they are the first place many people look when they need to buy anything.
If you live outside of the UK, you can still buy from Amazon UK and have your items shipped internationally using forward2me’s parcel forwarding service, so there’s no need to miss out on the best prices.
The process of ordering from Amazon UK to an international address with forward2me is really simple. All it takes is 5 easy steps!

We also offer several additional services that can help you to save even more money.
We can consolidate your orders into one shipment in order to save you money on shipping. For example, if you want to place several orders from different UK based stores to your home country, we can store these packages for free for up to 30 days in our warehouse, and then ship them to you all in one go.
Your packages will still arrive in their own separate packaging, but the price for forwarding them all in one go will be cheaper, as we are able to get you a better deal.
If you are ordering from outside of Europe, you can take advantage of our VAT free shipping service. Value Added Tax is paid by residents of the UK at a rate of 20%, however exports to outside of the EU are usually free from VAT.
In order to avoid being liable for paying VAT, the retailer needs to prove that the goods have been exported, so delivering it to a UK address before forwarding it on would mean they were unable to prove this, even though the final forwarding address was outside of the EU.
In order to avoid paying VAT unnecessarily, we have set up a British VAT free warehouse in Guernsey, so that residents in non-EU countries can avoid this problem.
Use our pricing estimate tool, and you can lock the price for 30 days! Just enter the destination country and choose the item you are planning to send, and hit ‘get estimate’ to find out how much it would cost you
While Amazon UK can ship to many parts of Spain, a large number of independent sellers on Amazon UK do not. When buying directly from Amazon UK, there’s a chance they may be able to post your item directly to you, but in many instances, they won’t be able to fulfil the order, and that’s where forward2me comes in.
With your free UK shipping address, provided by forward2me, you can order items from Amazon UK as if you live there. Then, we can forward them onto you anywhere in Spain. There are still some items that can’t be shipped to Spain, so make sure you check our prohibited list.
Amazon UK can ship around the world, to places like Australia, Japan, Lithuania and South Africa. But many independent sellers won’t be able to do so, and that’s where forward2me can help. Below we’ve put together a short list of some of the places Amazon UK can deliver. Even in these countries, you may need to use your forward2me forwarding address though, either because of the delivery area or independent sellers not shipping internationally. Often it comes down to whether a project is eligible for the Amazon Global program.
USA & Canada
Amazon UK can ship some of its products to all 50 states of America and across all of Canada.
South Africa
Amazon UK ships to South Africa as long as the item is eligible for the program. Some areas of the country may also not be eligible.
Angola
You cannot ship from Amazon UK directly to Angola. Or at least, the items that can are incredibly limited. This is where we can help.
Lithuania
Amazon UK can ship to Lithuania and all of eastern Europe.
Hong Kong
You can buy from Amazon UK and ship to Hong Kong as part of Amazon’s Global program. Some sellers may not be able to do so, however.
Saudi Arabia & Israel
Both of these countries are part of the Amazon Global program and you can ship many items directly to either of them.
Europe
Amazon UK can deliver a large number of items across Europe. This includes:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Latvia, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey
Australia & New Zealand
While Amazon UK can deliver to both Australia and New Zealand, some states and territories may not be covered by their standard global delivery program.
Africa
Amazon UK operates delivery in a number of African countries, such as South Africa, Egypt and Kenya. Many other countries in Africa have much more reduced delivery options available and you are likely to need someone like forward2me to help. These include countries like Angola.
Hong Kong
Amazon UK can ship Amazon Global eligible products directly to Hong Kong
Asia-Pacific
Amazon UK can ship toChina, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand.
Latin America
Most countries in Latin America are covered by the Amazon Global program, including Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

I used the service 'concierce'. It went quite good but I would recommend not to use it when you need to buy something swift like a temporary sale since it then takes too long before the item is actually bought by forward2me. However, I strongly recommend this service for regular purchases.

Great service. Expensive, but fairly priced compared to the prices I was seeing for normally shipping things internationally. I love seeing the email that my order is available to ship, it's very convenient having various forward2me warehouses in different countries on the odd chance something comes up in one of those countries that I cannot get sent to me normally.

it was my first experience and it was nerve racking because i was so new at it. I sent them lots of emails and questions. They tried there best to answer most of questions they are working with a short staff and limited days. I did do a second order by myself and didn't bother them lol. I would recommend them.
