    Hey
    I'm trying to get a shirt delivered online from a Swedish website, the problem is they won't send it to an Irish address. Are there any companies that would let me use their address and then post it on to me here? All the ones I've found online are unfortunately based in America. Don't know anyone living there I could ask either :/

    Do they deliver to the UK?

    www.parcelmotel.com if they do.

    What's the Swedish website?

    Have you contacted the likes of DHL etc.? Most of them are willing to receive packages and forward them to you from my experience.

    I emailled DHL and Parcel Force about it, they both told me they don't offer this service :/ Do you know any other companies I could try?

    Found a section on the Swedish postal service website where it says they'll collect packages and deliver them, the problem is they need to be already addressed to the recipient. I sent them an email there so I'll see how it goes...

    Yeah I had looked at that site already, the shortest rental period they have is 6 months and I'd only be using it for 1 parcel :/ I've contacted a couple of other maildrops but still waiting for a reply (maybe I shouldn't have emailed in English?)

    You could try Parcel Direct, I've used them a couple of times. I'm not sure if they'll recieve parcels for you but they seem to ship everywhere. Good luck!
