We offer same day UK collection at no extra cost, with online booking up to 3pm for most UK postcodes and up to 4pm for our London courier service. Whilst we can't offer a guaranteed or specific collection time, we do offer collection after a nominated time. For example, you can request a collection after 3pm (all collections are done before 7pm).
UK Parcel Deliveries are made on working weekdays between 9am and 7pm. We also offer Timed AM and Saturday Delivery upgrades nationally for most UK postcodes.
We include three free delivery attempts for the majority of our UK delivery services. For some UK parcels under 20kg we make a single attempt. If our UK courier is unable to deliver the package, your goods will be taken to a local UPS Access Point for convenient collection. The UPS Access Point is usually a nearby local retailer, offering pick-up outside normal office hours.

We provide a signed for delivery service for most of our UK parcel deliveries. However, if the driver is unable to deliver your parcel then they may deliver it to a safe location such as a neighbouring property. If you absolutely require a signed-for delivery at the specific delivery address, please contact our customer care team.
ParcelHero also offers UK courier delivery to remote and offshore locations. For remote locations, UK Parcel Tracking information can sometimes take a bit longer to update and delivery can take a little longer to get there. The transit time we display for our UK parcel prices includes any additional remote area transit times.

Once you have completed your booking, ParcelHero will generate your UK parcel labels for you. Simply print the labels and affix one to each parcel, either using a documents enclosed pouch or by taping the label to the parcel using clear packaging tape. It's important that you don't cover any of the barcodes with tape as this can make them difficult to scan. If we can't scan it, you can't track it.
Because we use only the best UK parcel couriers, we're able to provide state-of-the-art real time UK parcel tracking. From the moment your package is collected, you can track its location and progress throughout its journey. Once your package is delivered you can view the signature online. We also send a complimentary email to confirm final delivery. If there are any delays with your shipment, your tracking information will tell you what type of delay your shipment has encountered and whether anything is required from you to get it moving again.
ParcelHero also emails you and your recipient to notify of any delays and what is being done to resolve it. If you are a ParcelHero member you can track all your deliveries directly from your online dashboard. You don't even need your tracking number.
Getting a ParcelHero quote for cheap UK courier services is quick and simple. Just enter your shipment details into our Quick Quote tool, compare UK parcel delivery prices and select the best UK courier service for your requirements.
Please ensure the size and weight info you provide is accurate as your quote will be based on these details. When sending parcels in the United Kingdom, all quotes include any applicable surcharges, with the exception of the home delivery surcharge. This is applied once you enter the full address details.
ParcelHero can send any heavy UK parcels via our specialist Large and Heavy services, and we also offer UK pallet delivery. We can handle large and heavy items up to 1000kg. For items weighing more than 50kg each, we require 24 hours advanced booking and you will need to provide lifting assistance to the driver.
Shipments over 70kg and very large items, such as white goods or furniture, must be palletised prior to collection. Courier networks are not suitable for transporting large and heavy items that are not on a pallet, as there is a greater risk of damage. Please get in touch with our customer care team if you need help or advice sending a large or heavy item.
If you need to send a parcel in the UK, please ensure you have packed your items well. When you use a UK courier service your shipment will be handled multiple times, be loaded on and off vehicles and may have other packages placed on top of it. They can also be subject to vibration or impact when being transported. It's therefore really important that your packaging is sufficient and strong enough to protect your items.
Always make sure you use a strong box that doesn't have any creases, dents or holes. The more a box is used, the weaker it becomes so choosing a good strong box is really important. If in doubt, use a new one. It's equally important that the items inside are sufficiently cushioned so please ensure you fill the box with internal packaging materials so the items inside cannot move around during transport. Last but not least, always ensure you use good, strong packaging tape and apply the tape to the box in both directions. The more tape the better.
Use a strong box that's capable of supporting the weight of your items. We recommend using a double lined box for any items over 10 kg in weight.
Your courier is only able to collect packages with the shipping label attached. Please ensure you are able to print the labels and affix them securely to the package prior to collection.
Couriers generally make deliveries in the morning and collections in the afternoons. As couriers don't know in advance how many deliveries they will be making the next day or exactly where they will be delivering to, it's impossible for the routes to be planned in advance which is why we cannot offer a specific collection time for UK collections.
For your convenience, however, we give you the option to select a preferred collection time slot. For example, if the booking cut off time for your area is 3pm, then we can often offer the option of a collection slot between 3pm and 7pm.
Yes. We offer later collection times than any other courier in London, with booking times as late as 4pm from most Greater London postcodes.
Because our services are already priced at Economy rates, we offer premium express UK delivery services, for the price of an economy UK courier service. You get the best of both worlds; fast service and low prices.
Yes we do offer Hermes delivery. Both door to door and Hermes Parcel shop services, which offer convenient drop-off locations across the UK. We don't however currently work with either Yodel or UK Mail, as we believe Hermes offers the best value economy UK Delivery services.
Home deliveries are logistically more challenging for couriers as they deliver less shipments per location compared with a business centre or industrial estate. Home delivery costs the courier company more and can include multiple delivery attempts if no-one is available to accept the shipment. That's why most UK couriers add a small surcharge for shipments to a home address. However we still offer exceptional value with an exceptionally cheap UK delivery service.
For items over 10kg, our charges are cheaper than parcel post prices, and a lot more convenient than using postal services and posting your parcels. No drop-offs with a ParcelHero® shipment. We come to you and all charges are included in the final quoted price. The only additional charge we apply is for residential delivery. If applicable, this is added during the booking process when you confirm the receiver address, and is clearly stated in your final quote.
Yes. ParcelHero offers domestic and International delivery services, we offer both export and import services to over 220 countries worldwide.
