    Anyone know of a cheap UK forwarding service?


    I did a search and came across http://www.my-uk-mail.co.uk/
    but it has setup fees and Subscription charges and I only need it for one time.

    thanks

    You would have to contact the seller in advance. It might be less hassle and cheaper to simply ask the seller how much the cheapest postage will be to Ireland, 95% of the time UK sellers are willing to send here. Once I even got cheaper postage than he was charging to the UK, this was since I specifically said I wanted the cheapest postage and said I know this would take longer and would not leave negative/neutral feedback, so he sent economy rather than first class within the UK, so it was cheaper.

    Also if they are refusing to send to Ireland then you have to contact them anyway since they are only supposed to send to addresses registered/confirmed with ebay/paypal (I can't remember exactly what wording). This is to prevent people running scams, and if he is not willing to send to Ireland he is unlikely to be willing to send to some forwarding address. If I was a seller I would be wary of such a transaction, a common scam would be somebody saying they never got the item and claiming back the money, then the seller is out of pocket since he should only send recorded mail to a confirmed address.
