The self-service parcel service Parcel Motel will stop providing a virtual address in the UK from 28 December due to Brexit.
In an email to clients on Friday he said that from that date “our virtual address services in the UK will be temporarily suspended. This means that from this date we will no longer accept deliveries to the virtual UK address. “
The UK address, at Newtownabbey, Co Antrim, was used by people who purchased items from online sites who stated that they could only be delivered to a UK address.
The company then collected the goods and delivered them to one of the Parcel Motel pickup locations in the Republic.
In the email, he said that Brexit will affect these shipments using the UK virtual address.
“At the end of the year, the UK will leave the single market and the customs union. While much remains to be decided on the future trade relationship, it is clear that when the transition period ends, the cost, effort and time of freight transport between the EU and the UK is likely to increase. All packages crossing the new border between Great Britain and Ireland must clear customs and will be subject to customs duties and VAT, which are not included in the initial purchase price of their products. “
