Forwarding Action orders to the United Kingdom
British shoppers find Action's prices hard to believe, and the catch is honest: the parcel to the UK will often cost more than the contents. Forward one Action order and you pay a label for a few cheap items; collect several orders at your DZH address and bundle them into one box and the label is spread over everything inside. Action's webshop is available in the Netherlands and Belgium and delivers only in the country where you order, so a UK address does not work. After Brexit, UK VAT applies from the first pound on goods plus shipping, duty only above GBP 135, which a typical Action box stays well under.
You know the price before you order. No subscription, no minimum term.

Frequently asked questions
Does Action deliver to the UK?
No. Action's customer service page says the webshop is available in the Netherlands and Belgium and that Action delivers only in the country where you place your order. With a Dutch delivery address from DZH you order on the Dutch webshop like a local; we receive the parcel, check it and forward it to the United Kingdom.
What UK VAT and duty do I pay on an Action parcel?
VAT applies from the first pound on the goods plus shipping, so even a cheap box is taxed; duty only comes in above GBP 135, which most Action orders never reach. The carrier collects the VAT on delivery and may add a handling charge. We declare the real prices from your Action order confirmation.
How do I keep the forwarding cost of Action items sensible?
Fill a box. Order several times to your DZH address, let us hold the parcels and bundle them into one shipment, and check the calculator by weight and size before you buy bulky things such as storage boxes. Also note that products from the in-store weekly deal, the Weekactie, can usually not be ordered online.
