Top Tips for Cheap Parcel Delivery

Time is money, so we know you don’t want to spend too much time hunting down a cheap service - so here’s our top tips for saving on parcel delivery all in one place:

Package Correctly

This may seem obvious, but it’s easy to accidentally package parcels in a way that costs you more. It’s important to package your parcels properly to protect the contents inside, but also to reduce unnecessary courier costs.

Postage costs are based on volumetric weight, so knowing the weight and dimensions of the contents in your parcel is a good start. Make sure you package your items as small as possible, as this will save you even more money on your parcels.

And if the contents of your parcel won’t fit into a small package, make sure you choose a box that is a suitable size to keep your contents safe and supported.

Here’s the best way to pack a parcel correctly.

Stay Up-To-Date

When you create a Parcel2Go account, we’ll keep you up to date with the cheapest parcel delivery in the UK. We’re always excited to offer you new lower prices, so keep an eye on your inbox so you don’t miss anything - especially if you send parcels in bulk.

We’ve already saved our customers over £16,000,000 with our cheap UK and international shipping services.

Re-Use Packaging Materials

You can reuse the packaging from other parcels you’ve received in the post or any online purchases you’ve made. Just make sure when you ship your parcel, you remove or cover any old barcodes and address labels.

Not only will this save you money on materials, but this is a great way to protect the environment by reducing the amount of paper we use. And here at Parcel2Go, we strongly support the choice of eco-friendly products and packaging.
