What Does Forwarded Package Mean?
TL;DR
- Parcel forwarding service allows you to buy items from stores that don’t ship to your location by sending them to a forwarding address first.
- Forwarded package means your shipment is sent to an intermediary address before reaching you.
- Mail forwarding differs, usually addressing changes rather than item reshipment.
- You can book parcel forwarding through Eurosender, simplifying the process without needing to find a separate reshipper.
Parcel forwarding services are becoming increasingly popular with the rise in e-commerce. Before we explain how you can use the package forwarding service, let us see what it means when there are different delivery addresses involved.

What is a parcel forwarding service?
Nowadays, there are so many online stores that you can purchase the needed item from. But, not all of them are shipping to the desired location. Let’s assume you found a website in the UK that sells exactly what you needed, but they do not ship to Europe. So, what to do in such a case? You book a parcel forwarding service!

So, how does the parcel forwarding service work?
Let’s still assume the previous example. The shipment will not be sent directly to your location in Europe, but instead, the package will be forwarded to a different delivery address in the UK, and from there, with the right shipping service, it will be sent to Europe.

Whats the difference between mail and package forwarding?
However, you should remember that forwarding mail is different from the package forwarding service. Mail is forwarded usually when there is an address change. Assuming you have moved away from one location to another, the mail will be sent to the old address if the postal system hasn’t updated the new address. From there, it should be forwarded to the new address after the system updates or the new owner asks for it.

Can Eurosender organise package forwarding service?
Absolutely! By booking on our platform, you will find various shipping options. However, the parcel forwarding service would work differently when booked with us. What does it mean? It means that we will offer you one of the cheapest shipping options available, but you need to find a reshipper.
Firstly, you need to find a reshipper who accepts the package on your behalf. Reshippers are extremely popular and are especially requested by customers because you, as a buyer, can choose the service you want!
Then, insert the delivery address of the reshipper when you are finalising the order and then book another one to your address.
But – we have a much easier shipping solution for you where you do not need to book forwarding services and look for reshippers!
Get the best value for your money and book the delivery directly from the store to your destination and avoid reshippers and forwarding companies!
Will my package be safe after the delivery is forwarded to different addresses?
Yes! The only difference is that the delivery may take longer than usual; however, this service is very safe. All the information about the forwarding addresses is known, so the delivery will not be different from the standard shipping.
You can also consider insuring your shipment!
The parcel forwarding service has been around for a long time, which has given it time to improve over the years. It may come as a comfort to you to know that countless businesses and consumers are using the package forwarding service, which proves its reliability.
