What you can send
So your parcels fit in our vans, there are some limitations on the size of your parcel. Parcels must be:
- No longer than 1.8m
- No larger than 0.06m3 (this is the size of a standard microwave)
- No heavier than 25kgs
We have five pricing ranges for the Use Your Own Box:
- A4 sized parcel (that is no more than 10cm in thickness). This is for you to use your own envelopes, or courier satchels, or a small (non-delicate) item that is wrapped with sturdy paper
- Small box Equivalent to a box with dimensions 21x28x13 cm.
Perfect for magazines or larger books - Medium box Equivalent to a box with dimensions 28x39x18 cm.
Slightly larger than a typical shoe box - Large Box Equivalent to a box with dimensions 38x55x20 cm.
Room enough for a well folded duvet blanket - Extra Large Box (Maximum volume of 0.06m3. Equivalent to a box with dimensions 50x50x24 cm).
This is about the volume of an average microwave
