Inside you'll learn how to use Royal Mail Click and Drop for both UK and international postage, how InPost lockers work for buyers who don't want items delivered to their home, and how Evri ParcelShops give you another flexible drop-off option across 9,000+ UK locations.

You'll also get a full breakdown of how to fill out customs declaration forms discreetly, what to write (and what never to write) on international paperwork, and how to declare values to avoid import taxes for your buyers.
This guide includes essential advice on protecting your own privacy with fake return addresses, packaging tips that keep items fresh and presentable during transit, and a clear comparison of which service to use for different situations.
