How to Buy UK Baby and Children’s Clothes | forward2me

Kids get messy, it comes with the territory. They also need to wear clothes. They also grow incredibly quickly and still need to look stylish, or wear things that make them happy. It may seem difficult to find kids clothes that fit all of these criteria, especially ones that are affordable, but the UK has a number of excellent kids clothes sellers, just waiting to kit out your children. Many of the UK’s best kids clothing suppliers don’t ship internationally, but that’s where we come in.

A UK parcel forwarding service, like forward2me, can let you shop in the UK just like you live there. With a forwarding address you can find the best kids clothes for sale in the UK and get them delivered to your doorstep. We’ve put together a guide on how to buy UK baby and children’s clothes and then gone over some of the best UK suppliers available, so you know where to look.

Step 1: Sign up for your UK address

Simply sign up to forward2me for your completely free account. This will get access to your UK forwarding address at no charge to you.

Step 2: Shop on UK baby and children fashion websites

Shop at one of the UK’s baby and child fashion stores. We’ve handily compiled a list below so you can find the best! You just need to use your free forwarding address from your account and you’ll be able to shop just like you live in the UK.

Step 3: We receive your parcel

Your parcel will arrive at our UK warehouse, and from here you’ve got a couple of options. You’ll be alerted to its arrival, and you’ll need to let us know whether you want us to hold it while other packages come in, or send it on straight away. We can hold packages for up to 30 days free of charge and combine & repack or consolidate the order for a small fee, to save you money on postage for multiple orders. 

Step 4: We ship your parcel

Once you’ve received your alert, and you’ve decided whether you want us to hold or send your order, you’ll need to log in and select how you want it to be delivered. This means selecting the courier you want to use, along with the delivery time and then paying any fees. Once you’ve done this, we’ll ship your package with your chosen courier. If you make your payment before 11.00am we can usually get it posted that day.

Step 5 Your parcel arrives at home

You just need to sit back and wait for your parcel to arrive. Depending on the courier you choose this can be between 1 and 4 days, but could be longer in some cases. Check our pricing page for an estimate on both time and potential costs. It’s also worth understanding your own country’s customs system, as there may be additional customs duty to be paid, or a chance an item could get held up at the border. You’ll also need to sign for it when it arrives.
