Save Money when Buying Formula Milk from the UK

Formula milk is a popular nutritional replacement for babies whose mothers decide not to or are unable to breastfeed. Over the years, the number of people importing formula milk from other countries, like the UK, has significantly increased, so we thought we would share how you can make great cost savings on formula milk by using our parcel forwarding service.

Why import baby milk?

Mothers may want to import baby milk from other countries, like the UK, for a number of different reasons. Some may be concerned about the ingredients used in the formula milk in their country (China suffered an infant milk formula scandal back in 2008) whereas others may simply prefer the formula milk brands available in the UK.

Cost effective shipping

Although many UK websites ship internationally, the cost of doing so can be quite expensive for the customer. If you want to buy formula milk from the UK and have it shipped to your country cost effectively, then sign up to Parcel Flow today. We offer an affordable and efficient parcel forwarding service and can ship your formula milk to anywhere in the world.

When you sign up to our service, you will be allocated a unique UK address and telephone number. This means that when you place your order for formula milk on a UK website, you can simply enter your allocated UK address and telephone number and benefit from the cheaper postage charge. Your formula milk order will then be delivered to our depot and an email will be sent to alert you.

We will then provide you with a list of couriers to choose from. We have close working relationships with both DHL and Parcel Force and therefore benefit from great shipping discounts, which we pass on to you, our customers.

Getting your formula milk quickly

We understand that you don’t want to be waiting months or even weeks to receive your formula milk. This is why we offer a fast and efficient delivery service, with a same-day turnaround wherever possible. We offer a cheaper and faster delivery service than our competitors and provide speedy courier services at an additional charge for those who require their formula milk more urgently.

Shop your favourite UK baby stores online

Sign up to our parcel forwarding service and you will be able to buy formula milk from any UK baby store e.g. Mothercare, BabiesRUs as well as online supermarkets. No longer will you be restricted on the sites you shop from, as you will have a UK address you can use.

It is worth bearing in mind that some UK stores still impose a limit on the number of baby formula tins you can buy at one time. Rationing on formula milk was enforced by UK brand Danone (makers of Cow & Gate and Aptamil baby milks) last year after there were concerns of unofficial exporting to China.
