Still stuck?Our UK team replies in minutes.
How long does Asendia take?
It depends on the service. Every Asendia service quoted on your route shows its transit estimate before you book, so you can see the trade off between speed and price in one place.
Is Asendia cheaper through ParcelMatch?
Usually, yes. ParcelMatch quotes the wholesale rates that high volume retailers use, which is where the saving of up to 60 percent against published walk-in rates comes from. Compare it against the counter price and see.
Can Asendia collect from my address?
On most services, yes. Tick the collection box on the quote form and only services that include door to door pickup will show. The collection fee is in the quote before you pay.
Is Asendia tracked?
Yes. Tracking is included as standard on every service ParcelMatch quotes, and all carriers appear on one tracking page rather than on separate sites.
Do I need an account to book Asendia?
No. Compare, book, pay and track without creating an account. You only need one to save addresses or use a prepay wallet.
