Future for virtual address schemes

I can’t see those ( U.K.) virtual address schemes returning , customs clearance and double VAT and will make the whole thing way way over priced

I can’t see how AddressPal can function given no declared value will be on U.K. domestic parcels and hence the double VAT trap will make everything crazy money

The USA one works because the sales tax is low so the double VAT issue is ameliorated

But as the U.K. is similar to ours , your faced with vat there and vat here plus a clearance charge. And that assumes a Brexit deal where no tariffs are also applied

What we need are a virtual address service in Germany or the Netherlands ( or several euro zone areas )

Buying from the U.K. will be “ big boys “ stuff etc customs agents Tain accounts etc.

People you say “wait for the deal” have clearly misunderstood that the U.K. is leaving the customs Union , irrespective of a deal. Hence the VAT regimes will decouple anyway deal or no deal

It’s back to the 1970s

( ps I don’t think we will see a U.K. based parcel motel system returning , despite the announcement )

As an example of what we will miss, orders small item £11 from U.K. Thursday , delivered NI Friday , in the PM locker this morning , ah we’ll look back and tell the grandkids how it was all so easy back in the day

Of course first class mail used be delivered next day from Ireland to the uk, my latest one took 8 days !!
Backwards we go
