How to Ship Subscription Boxes Internationally

Subscription boxes have taken the world by storm, offering curated surprises delivered right to your doorstep. Whether you're into beauty, snacks, books, pets, or pop culture, there's a box for just about every interest. But what happens if the subscription box you love doesn’t ship to your country? That’s where ForwardVia comes in.

With ForwardVia’s UK parcel forwarding address, you can get your hands on exclusive subscription boxes from retailers who only ship within the UK, through our forwarding service.

Let’s dive into how it works and explore some top subscription boxes you can start enjoying from anywhere in the world.

What Are Subscription Boxes? #

Subscription boxes are recurring shipments of curated items tailored to a specific theme or interest—think skincare, gourmet food, anime, books, pets, and more. They’re delivered monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly, and often come with discounted or exclusive products not available in regular retail.

Customers typically fill out a short quiz or select preferences, and the box provider uses that info to create a personalized experience. The thrill of unboxing and discovering new items is part of the appeal, and many services even offer limited-edition goods that sell out quickly.
