ELAINE BROWN
Great price and great service
Had some confusion when email received saying DDP had tried to deliver a parcel to the Netherlands at 00.46 Contacted Parcel hero who looked into the matter and emailed back straight away to say that the driver had actually not attempted to deliver but had run out of time and delivery would be made later in the day. Parcel arrived as planned later that day. Would definitely use Parcel Hero again.

Good sevice for awkward sized parcel
Picked up on time & delivered on specified day and was able to track its progress Very few carriers would take a 220 x 33 x 18cm parcel withou it costing more than the item I was returning. Would definitely recommend this carrier.

US Customs

The de minimis value threshold for most goods entering the USA is $800, so goods under this value are likely to enter the United States duty free. This applies whether you are exporting a commercial shipment for re-sale or sending personal effects or gifts. However, unless you’re sending a document, a customs invoice is still required.
