Parcel Forwarding Service From UK to India.

You get a real UK address at our Manchester warehouse, use it at checkout in any British store, and we forward the parcel on to your address in India. To the shop it is an ordinary domestic delivery, which opens up the many British retailers that have never shipped to India.

Yes. Forwarding is a completely normal, legal service used by millions of shoppers, and your parcel is declared to Indian customs like any other import. As with any provider, check independent reviews rather than relying on a company’s own claims.

DPD Air Classic (£37.89) is the cheapest express option and FedEx World Express the fastest at 2–4 working days. If you are not in a hurry, an economy air service costs about the same as DPD but takes two to three weeks. The calculator above prices every service for your actual weight and size.

Three days to about three weeks, depending on the service: 2–4 working days with FedEx World Express, 3–7 with DPD Air, and 12–16 with economy air. Customs clearance in India can add a day or two on top.

Yes, almost always. India withdrew the low-value gift exemption in 2019, so there is no duty-free threshold: Basic Customs Duty applies from the first rupee, a social welfare surcharge of 10% of that duty is added, and IGST — 18% for most consumer goods — is charged on the total. The courier collects it all on delivery.

The UK address itself is free, with no subscription. You pay only when you ship: from £37.89 for a 1 kg parcel, plus £2 + VAT if you want several orders combined into one. Storage is free for the first 30 days. Indian customs charges are separate and collected on delivery.

Yes, and on a long-haul route it matters more than anywhere. We hold your parcels free for 30 days, then repack them into a single shipment so you pay one air freight charge instead of four — and clear Indian customs once rather than four times.

Any store that delivers within the UK: ASOS, Next, Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Argos, Currys, Boots, Superdrug and thousands more. If a store will not take your Indian card — and many British checkouts will not — our Buy For Me service can buy the items for you.

Usually yes. Indian customs asks the recipient for KYC — normally a PAN or Aadhaar number — before releasing a courier import. The courier contacts you for it, and having it ready is the single easiest way to avoid a parcel sitting in clearance.

DPD, FedEx and Parcelforce all run this route, alongside a cheaper economy air service for parcels that are not urgent. The calculator shows each available option with live prices and delivery dates.

Plenty of British retailers only accept UK-issued cards. Our Buy For Me service solves that: tell us what you want, we purchase it on your behalf with our own local payment details, then forward it to you like any other order.
