UK to Africa Parcel Forwarding

Our express UK to Africa parcel delivery & forwarding service usually takes 4-6 business days to deliver parcels and packages to your destination safely.

However, be aware that shipping and transit times can vary due to the distances involved when sending boxes and parcels from the UK to Africa. Plus, there is always the possibility of delays at customs due to clearance procedures and Africa post and bank holidays.

Delays like these are out of our control, but rest assured, myUKmailbox will work hard to get your packages to you as quickly as possible.

The cost of sending parcels from the UK to Africa varies depending on the package weight, chosen shipping method, any additional cover required and any additional packaging materials you might request. A large parcel or awkward items may also increase shipment costs.

When you plan to send a parcel to Africa, our one stop solution is to use a shipping rate calculator or contact myUKmailbox directly to get a more accurate estimate of shipping costs for your specific needs.

Also, the myUKmailbox membership plan you choose may affect the cost of shipping.

Knowing what items can and cannot be shipped internationally to Africa will help you avoid headaches or delays. You can ship many items without issue, but there are some restricted and prohibited items due to international transport regulations, goods and services tax, customs clearance, or other factors.

Prohibited imports and restricted items such as flammable items and hazardous goods, like aerosols, perfume and nail polish cannot be shipped with most forwarders. For more information about what you can ship internationally to Africa, check the Africa customs website for a comprehensive list.
