Buy&Ship UK Forwarding Service: Shop from Britain, Ship to Singapore with Confidence

Bringing British Shopping Closer to Singapore

From classic British fashion houses to department stores and lifestyle retailers, the UK offers a rich variety of shopping experiences. Whether it’s Marks & Spencer apparel, Harrods luxury goods, or exclusive designer collaborations, Singapore shoppers often look to the UK for style, quality, and value.

However, many UK retailers either don’t ship internationally or charge steep delivery fees. That’s where Buy&Ship UK Forwarding Service comes in — making it simple, transparent, and affordable to shop from the UK and ship your orders home to Singapore.

Need Help with UK Online Orders? Try Buy&Ship’s Proxy Shopping

Not every UK retailer makes it easy for Singapore shoppers. Some only accept local credit cards, while others require a UK phone number or billing address. Instead of giving up on limited-edition items or exclusive British deals, you can turn to Buy&Ship’s Proxy Shopping service.

Our team acts as your trusted local buyer in the UK — placing the order, handling payment, and arranging delivery to our warehouse. Once it arrives, the package follows the same forwarding process as any other shipment, giving you a seamless shopping-to-shipping experience.

When to Choose Forwarding vs Proxy Shopping

Choosing between forwarding and proxy shopping depends on your shopping situation:

• Go with Forwarding if you can easily shop on UK websites and pay with your own card. It’s the most cost-effective and direct solution.
• Opt for Proxy Shopping if the store blocks international payments, demands a UK phone number, or if you simply prefer a hands-off experience where everything is handled for you.

Think of forwarding as DIY shopping with logistics support, while proxy shopping is full-service assistance for tricky UK websites. Either way, Buy&Ship ensures your parcels arrive in Singapore safely and affordably.
