    UK parcel forwarding

    Ugh. The one thing my daughter has requested for Christmas seems to be the one thing that Amazon UK won't ship to Hong Kong (and isn't available in HK). Can anyone recommend a forwarding service in the UK where I can use their address and have them forward the package?

    I know there are a number of these services around and can find them thru Google, but would prefer to use one that comes recommended.

    Thank you!

    Don't know of a forwarder but can you find an alternative online store?

    She's already said its not available in HK. What about a US Amazon or other store, they have forwarding services in US?

    There are many things Amazon US won't send to Hong Kong too, also if it's electrical... Plenty of places will send items to Hong Kong though.

    Have tried Amazon US who won't ship either. It's so frustrating, as there seems to be no rhyme or reason to what can or can't be shipped -- I ordered and received a massive Lego box from Amazon UK the other day!

    Other online shops like Fishpond, if they have the dolls my daughter wants, they are over double what I'd spend on Amazon UK.

    Could you get it delivered to someone in the UK who could then send it over?

    I don't understand the logic either - some Lego is ok while other stuff isn't!

    I have never used one for the UK, but they are common for USA. I just use relatives for the UK!
