Title: UK - Worldwide without going into P/O
Post by: UCS on October 30, 2011, 09:08 am
UK to UK is not a problem for me at the moment. But I dont want to go into the post office each time for international orders. So my question is :

Is there any way of sending to outside the UK without going into the post office?

If there are any UK vendors that ship worldwide that could share advice would be great.

Thanks

Hey UCS

I'm a UK vendor and I might be able to help you out. When it comes to international items you need to get yourself some international stamps and airmail stickers(included with your int. stamps), these can be purchased at a local PO or online even. Your items need the address with the name of the country in capital letters and a return address on the back too. These then can be posted in any ordinary RLB's, avoiding you going into the post office :)

Thank for your quick reply Ivory :)

If bought online wouldn't it be traceable to my name through my method of payment?

Also Im assuming RLB just means Postbox , correct me if im wrong  :)

Hey UCS

Yes I do mean postbox ;) I assume they can track you through your payment method(but i highly doubt they will) but stamps are legal and your perfectly within your right to buy them online from RM or in the PO and as many as you want :)

Ok so If I go into a post office , What information will I have to give them , Would it just be the weight of package and country im shipping to?

Also would they hand out customs declarations (if neccessary)?


Sorry new at this , so thanks for your patience buddy :)

Hey UCS

Yes you are correct, you'll be asked where your shipping to and the weight of your package, custom declarations depends on the region your shipping to, whether your using tracking or not too and the size/weight of your package. :)
