    Important notification about Brexit impact
    Hi

    Here is everything you need to know about the Brexit impact on your shipments.

    Customs charges

    At the end of the year, the UK will leave the single market and customs union. While much remains undecided about the future trading relationship, it is clear that when the transition period ends, the cost, effort and time of moving goods between the EU and the UK will likely increase. All parcels crossing the new border between Britain and Ireland must clear customs and will be subject to customs duty and VAT, which are not included in the initial purchase price of your goods.

    Virtual address in the UK temporarily suspended

    Following the Brexit impact, we would like to share with you that as of December 28th, our virtual address services in the UK will be temporarily suspended. This means that from this date, we will no longer accept deliveries at the UK virtual address: 1a McKinney Road, Newtownabbey, UK. We are working diligently to update our product offering in order to adapt to the latest trade requirements as they come to conclusion and better serve your shopping needs. You will receive further updates in the coming weeks.

    UK returns accepted until December 30th

    Return shipments to the UK will only be accepted until December 30th. Please ensure that you send your return prior to this date in order to avoid additional charges.

    Enjoy a reduced rate on the Irish virtual address

    You can continue to use the Irish virtual address (below) to collect your packages at the Parcel Motel locker near you and avail of contactless, convenient, and sustainable deliveries. To thank you for helping reduce the environmental impact by using our lockers, we are happy to offer you a promotional rate of € 3.25 (instead of € 4.50) from January 1st 2021.

    Virtual address in the UK under construction starting tomorrow
    Hi

    Following our important notification about Brexit impact shared with you on December 18th, we would like to remind with you that as of tomorrow, our virtual address services in the UK will be temporarily suspended. Starting 28th December, we will no longer accept deliveries at the UK virtual address: 1a McKinney Road, Newtownabbey, UK.

    Don’t forget that return shipments to the UK will only be accepted until December 30th. To avoid additional charges, ensure that you send your returns ahead of this date.
    If you’ve missed the cut off date, be sure to check the retailer’s website or coordinate with the retailer directly for their recommended returns method or visit UPS.com to send a parcel.

    In addition, remember to update your address on all of the websites where currently the UK virtual address is saved as your default delivery address.

    The good news is, you can continue to use the Irish virtual address (below) to collect your packages at the Parcel Motel locker near you and continue to take advantage of our contactless, convenient, and sustainable deliveries. And the good news doesn’t end there, to thank our customers for doing their part to reduce their environmental impact by using our lockers, we are offering a promotional rate of € 3.25 (instead of € 4.50) from January 1st 2021.

    Your new Irish Virtual Address:
    Xxxxx
    PMxxxxxx
    UPS Customer Centre
    Unit 5 Mygan Park
    Jamestown Road
    Finglas East
    Dublin 11, D11
