Package forwarding from India to United Kingdom
Thousands of Kerala nurses and students have arrived in the UK in recent years, and the things they want from home are on Indian websites that stop at the Indian border. Your free Indian address gets past that.
What people in the UK order from India
- Kerala groceries and spices
- Malayalam books and Bibles
- Traditional clothing for church and family functions

Shipping from India to United Kingdom — questions
How do I shop Indian websites from the UK?
Sign up free and you get an Indian delivery address in Pala, Kerala with your own suite code. Use it as the shipping address at checkout on Amazon.in, Flipkart, Myntra, Nykaa, Ajio and most other Indian stores. When your parcels reach us we let you know, and you choose when to have them forwarded to the UK.
How long does delivery to the UK take?
Typically 5 to 10 business days from the day your consolidated shipment leaves our warehouse, plus customs clearance at your end. Time in storage before you request shipping does not count towards that.
How much can I save by combining parcels?
International shipping is priced on weight and size, so five separate parcels cost far more than one. We repack everything into a single box and strip unnecessary packaging to cut volumetric weight — savings of up to 80% against shipping each order on its own are normal.
Will I pay customs duty in the UK?
Import VAT and duty generally apply to goods over £39 (gifts) and £135 (other goods). The recipient may need to pay VAT/duty before delivery. Duty is charged by the customs authority in the UK, not by India Rabbit.
What can I not forward to the UK?
Prohibited for United Kingdom: Meat, milk, and dairy products from outside the EU; Certain plants, bulbs, and seeds without a phytosanitary certificate; Offensive weapons — flick knives, knuckledusters, and self-defence sprays; Endangered species products and real fur from protected animals; Cash, currency, cheques, bullion, and loose precious stones; Narcotics, illegal drugs, and psychotropic substances. Check before you order — these are refused at customs or by the airline.
How long will you hold my parcels?
30 days free from the day each parcel arrives, which is enough to finish a sale-season order and send it all together. Storage can be extended for a fee if you need longer.
Do I need an Indian card or phone number?
For most stores your own card works fine. Where a store insists on an Indian payment method, message us on WhatsApp before ordering and we will tell you what is possible.
