Large parcel delivery for big boxes and bulky goods

Big boxes, cartons and long, heavy or bulky goods, collected from your door and tracked to theirs. Enter the sizes and weights and you get a price in seconds.

What you can send as a large parcel

Standard parcel couriers often stop around 30kg and refuse anything long. We take single items up to 150kg, up to 6.5m long with the other two sides up to 3m each. One consignment can hold several items, up to 1,000kg and 15 cubic metres in total.

Most large parcels are big boxes and cartons: boxed furniture and flat-pack, boxed appliances and equipment, stock in outer cartons and trade orders packed together. Long lengths, heavy parts and boxed bikes go the same way.

Every item is priced on size or weight, whichever is greater. Measure and weigh each one, enter it on the booking page and you see the price before you book. Fuel is included.

How a large parcel is priced

Every item is priced on its size or weight, whichever is greater. We work out its volumetric weight (length x width x height in cm, divided by 5000) and compare it with the actual weight. How volumetric weight works.

Fuel is included, so there is no separate fuel surcharge. You see the full price, line by line, before you book. Prices exclude VAT, which is added at payment.

If an item turns out bigger or heavier than declared, the consignment is re-priced at the actual size and weight.
