Excellent service, back up and communication
Prompt collection on booked date, quick delivery from England to Tasmania, reasonable cost in comparison with other couriers. This is my second dispatch on this route with ParcelHero, and I would certainly use them again. Good communication.

Great prices, and impressive online customer service
I have used ParcelHero to ship boxes from the UK to abroad, so far so good, I used them 3 times. They have very good prices and and great customer service. The first time when I want to place an order due to my internet coverage the payment went trough without getting the labels, I did not find their phone number so I had to contact them via their website, actually I was impressed about the responsiveness of their customer support. I got my money back in about 48 hours. also if you sign in , every time you place an order you earn 1% towards your next orde. which is good.<br /><br />The only drawback that they don't have phone number to contact them, but it doesn't heart much as they are very active online <br />Over all I like them and I will use them again and again. <br /><br />Pracelhero, if you read my review please keep it up and do not mess it up. <br /><br />thank you

How it works

With ParcelHero shipping to the UK is easy. We email the shipping documents to the person we're collecting from and book-in the pick-up on your behalf. Simply track your shipment if you need to change the collection date or rebook.

Importing low value items into the UK

Goods under £15 imported into the UK do not incur any VAT or duty. Goods under £135 are considered low value and therefore only incur 20% VAT and no customs duty, therefore the most you will pay for any item under £135 is £27.

Importing items over £135 into the UK

If your item is over £135, then it may be subject to UK duty and 20% VAT. To check how much the recipient will have to pay, check using the UK governments Tariff Code checker. If charges are due, the carrier will contact the recipient prior to delivery to request payment.

Clearance charges for dutiable shipments

Every carrier charges a fee for clearing dutiable goods through UK customs. Here's a breakdown of the charges by carrier:
DHL: £11.00 or 2.5% of the total Duty and/or VAT incurred, whichever is the greater.
UPS: £11.50 or 2.5% of the total Duty and/or VAT incurred, whichever is the greater.
Fedex: 12.00 or 2.5% of the total Duty and/or VAT incurred, whichever is the greater.
