How Does UK Parcel Forwarding Work?
1Use the address at the checkout
Shop at any UK store and enter your suite address in the delivery field. As far as the shop is concerned, it is a domestic order.
2We receive and combine
Every parcel is photographed on arrival at our Manchester warehouse and added to your account. It's held free for 30 days, so you can order from several shops and we'll pack them into one shipment when you're ready.
3We ship it to you
Pick the courier and the speed that suit you, pay once, and follow the parcel all the way to your door.
Your UK Shipping Address, Explained
There is no special process and nothing to declare at the checkout. You paste the address the shop expects to see, pay with the card you already have, and the order goes through as a normal UK delivery.
What Do You Get With a UK Shipping Address?
Shops that will not post abroad
A great many British retailers deliver within the UK only. With a UK address their catalogue simply opens up to you.
British sale prices
Seasonal sales, outlet pricing and domestic-only promotions apply to your order, because your order is a domestic one.
No rejected checkouts
Shops that refuse foreign delivery addresses stop being a problem — the address you give them is a British one.
Free returns to UK sellers
If something does not fit, we send it back for you at no charge. Parcels up to 31 kg and 61 × 44 × 37 cm, personal accounts only.
Several orders, one shipment
Buy from four shops in one week and we can combine the parcels, so you pay one base rate instead of four.
You see it before it flies
Every parcel is photographed when it lands, so you know what is in your account before you pay to ship it.
Four parcels cost four base rates. One parcel costs one.
Hold your orders at our Manchester warehouse and tell us when to combine them. We pack them into a single shipment and strip out the retail boxes, which is where the rest of the saving comes from.
Up to 80% off a typical multi-shop order
A real warehouse, with people in it
Your Manchester suite address isn't a mailbox, it's a working warehouse at Zeno House, where a real team checks in every parcel, photographs it the moment it arrives, and holds it free for 30 days while you decide what happens next.
- Checked and photographed on arrival
- Damage reported before you pay to ship
- A person answers when you ask

Questions about the UK address
What is UK parcel forwarding?
UK parcel forwarding lets you shop UK retailers even if you don't live in the UK. You get a real UK address to use at checkout, the store ships your order there exactly as it would for any other UK customer, and the forwarding service then sends it on to your actual address, anywhere in the world.
Is UK parcel forwarding service legit?
Yes, it's a completely normal, legal service. You're simply using a real UK address to receive packages before they're forwarded on to you, the same way expats and international shoppers have done for years. As with any provider, it's worth checking independent reviews rather than relying on a company's own claims alone, Atvido is rated 3.5 stars on Trustpilot from 190 reviews (verify current figure before publishing).
How much does the UK address cost?
Nothing for the address itself, it's free and stays free, no subscription, no monthly fee. You only pay for UK parcel forwarding when you actually ship a parcel.
Does UK parcel forwarding service include a German or US address too?
Yes. Every Atvido account includes UK, German, and US addresses for free, so you're not limited to UK parcel forwarding alone, you can shop whichever country the store is in.
Will shops treat me as a UK customer?
Yes. Your UK parcel forwarding address is a real British one, so domestic delivery options, domestic pricing, and domestic promotions all apply to your order exactly as they would for someone living in the UK.
Do I pay import duty with UK parcel forwarding?
That depends on where you live and what the parcel is worth. Duty and VAT are set by your own customs authority, not by Atvido. Our duty calculator gives you an estimate before you buy.
Can I return an item through UK parcel forwarding?
Yes. Returns to UK sellers are free for parcels up to 31kg and 61×44×37cm, on personal accounts. Tell us which parcel and we handle the UK parcel forwarding return for you.
How long can a parcel stay at the UK warehouse?
Long enough to wait for the rest of your orders so they can travel together. Your account shows every parcel we're holding and what it will cost to send them on.
