    Is anPosts address pal the only option that has a virtual address in mainland UK and not northern ireland?

    I dont think i will ever be using addresspal again with them charging me €25 for an oversized parcel. I suppose i should be blaming the seller for putting it in such a big box but i would like to know what other options out there for getting things shipped from mainland UK.

    Hey,

    i buy a lot from the UK and most sites will only post to mainland UK. I usually use addressPal to get them shipped over here but after getting hit with €25 for an oversized package, i would rather not use them again. I probably should blame the seller for putting it in such a big box but i have never really had any good experiences with address pal so would prefer to use another service.

    Anyway, is there any other service out there that provides a virtual mainland UK address?
    I know Parcel Motel use an address in Northern Ireland but what about parcelconnect and parcel wizard?

    Neither mention on their website where their virtual address is.

    thanks

    Only 1 option left so. I hope it is Mainland based.

    Are their any other Options other than below for shipping from the UK?

    Parcel Motel
    AddressPal by anPost
    ParcelWizard
    ParcelConnect

    From 2014, seems it is NI address. I expect they would be shouting about it if it was mainland.
