Enter two postcodes and a parcel size, and a full comparison across every carrier we support usually returns in under two seconds.
How much does it cost to send a parcel in the UK?
Prices start from £2.95 for a small tracked parcel. Your exact price depends on size, weight, route, and speed, and it is shown in full before you pay.
Can a courier collect from my address?
Yes. Tick the collection box on the quote form and we will only show services that include door-to-door pickup.
Can I send a parcel without a printer?
Yes. Some carriers offer label-free drop-off, where you scan a QR code at the drop-off point and the label is printed for you.
How do I get my label?
We email a printable PDF label seconds after you pay. Some carriers also offer label-free drop-off with a QR code.
Do you deliver to the Scottish Highlands and islands?
Yes. We cover every UK postcode, including the Highlands and islands. Any surcharge is shown in the quote up-front, so the price you see is the price you pay.
