Does Old Navy Ship to the UK?
No, Old Navy doesn’t currently offer international shipping, including to the UK. This comes directly from Old Navy’s own customer service page, which states plainly that international shipping isn’t supported. If you try to check out with a UK address, you’ll either hit an error or find that the UK simply isn’t an option in the country dropdown.
Why Doesn’t Old Navy Ship to the UK?
This catches a lot of UK shoppers off guard, especially since Old Navy is such a familiar name. It’s one of the biggest budget-friendly clothing brands in the US, known for affordable basics, family-sized ranges, and frequent sales that make it genuinely good value compared to a lot of UK high street options. It’s reasonable to assume a brand that size ships everywhere, but Old Navy has simply never expanded international shipping the way some retailers have, which is exactly why this question comes up so often.
Old Navy is part of Gap Inc., alongside Gap, Banana Republic, and Athleta, but unlike some of its sister brands, it hasn’t rolled out international shipping. Canada and Puerto Rico are sometimes the exception, but for the UK, Ireland, Australia, and most other countries, ordering directly from Old Navy’s US site simply isn’t possible right now. There’s no indication this is changing, it’s a standing policy rather than a temporary glitch.
How to Get Old Navy Items Shipped to the UK
Since Old Navy won’t ship internationally itself, the way around this is a US parcel forwarding service. The idea is straightforward: you sign up for a US shipping address, use that address at checkout instead of your own, and once your order arrives at the warehouse, the service forwards it on to you in the UK. From Old Navy’s perspective, it’s just a normal US delivery, the forwarding happens after the fact, on your end.
This approach also comes with a couple of side benefits beyond just making the order possible in the first place. You get access to Old Navy’s full US catalog and sizing, which isn’t always identical to what’s offered elsewhere, plus US sale pricing and exclusive drops that don’t always make it to other markets. Many forwarding services also let you consolidate multiple orders into a single international shipment, which usually works out cheaper than paying for separate shipping on each one.
Atvido will soon be offering exactly this. We’re launching a US address alongside our existing UK and German addresses, so you’ll be able to shop Old Navy, and any other US-only retailer, the same straightforward way you can already shop UK and EU stores with Atvido: check out with your Atvido address, and we’ll take care of getting it to you, with the same package consolidation and photo-verified inspection you’d get on any other order. We don’t have an exact launch date yet, but it’s coming soon. Sign up for early access and we’ll let you know the moment US addresses go live.
Alternatives to Ordering Old Navy in the UK
If you’d rather not wait on a US forwarding address, there are a few other routes worth knowing about, though each comes with trade-offs:
- Existing US parcel forwarding services. Other providers already offer US addresses today, so if you need Old Navy items now rather than once Atvido’s US service launches, this is the most direct option available in the meantime.
- Secondhand marketplaces. Old Navy items regularly show up on platforms like eBay UK, Depop, and Vinted, sold by people who bought them in the US or already had them forwarded. This won’t get you guaranteed access to new arrivals or your exact size, but it’s a legitimate option for specific pieces.
- UK alternatives with a similar style and price point. Stores like Primark, H&M, and George at Asda cover similar ground in terms of affordable basics, even if they’re not a direct substitute for Old Navy’s specific fits and ranges. Worth considering if you’re after the general look rather than the brand itself.
- Asking someone in the US to buy and ship it on. If you know someone based in the US, having them order and post the item to you directly (or forward it once it’s arrived) is often the simplest option for a one-off purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order from Old Navy and have it shipped to the UK?
Not directly through Old Navy’s own website, it doesn’t support international shipping. A US parcel forwarding service, which gives you a US address to shop with, is currently the way around this.
Does Old Navy ship to any countries outside the US?
Canada and Puerto Rico are sometimes supported, but most other countries, including the UK, aren’t currently offered international shipping directly from Old Navy.
Is there a UK equivalent of Old Navy?
There isn’t an exact match, but UK shoppers looking for similar affordable, family-friendly basics sometimes compare Old Navy to stores like Primark, H&M, or George at Asda, though Old Navy’s specific styles, fits, and pricing are still often enough of a draw that people look for ways to order from the US site directly rather than substitute.
Will Old Navy ever ship to the UK directly?
There’s no announced plan for this. Given Old Navy hasn’t expanded international shipping the way some other Gap Inc. brands have, a US forwarding address is likely to remain the most realistic option for UK shoppers going forward.
