PostFromUS gives you a US shipping address you can use at checkout on US retailers, then we forward your packages internationally.

Ship Packages to the UK

Shopping at popular US retailers such as Apple, Nike, Carhartt, Ralph Lauren, Ulta, and others is often restrictive for UK buyers. Without a valid US shipping address, shopping carts may not work.

Living in London, Birmingham, or Manchester shouldn’t dampen the types of American products you buy. Many US brands have complex shipping systems to maximize profits, local brand deals that don’t extend to international locations, or tariff and legal hoops that get in the way.

A secure US shipping address helps UK buyers can access products they want, including those brands that typically ship only within the US.

Shipping Expectations

Shipping for a US-based brand to any UK constituent country does involve many steps. The delivery begins when the retailer processes and ships your order domestically to the new US shipping address.

Upon receipt, the delivery is forwarded to a location in the UK based on the user’s preferences. Options such as “express” send items faster, while “economy” may take a standard or longer time. Everything is based on available routing and carrier schedules, but can be estimated with the shipping calculator.

Once your items cross the UK border, they may be processed by customs. The processing time may affect US to UK delivery timelines depending on how long it takes to inspect or verify the documentation while in costumes. Real-time updates are available in your account dashboard.
