What are my collection and delivery options when using a car parts courier?
If you’re in the car parts industry and require a safe means of shipping vehicle accessories, then you may want to consider the services of a car parts courier. If you are a business or sell many car parts online, such as on eBay, then using our free shipping integration tool Smart Send is also a great option!
By selecting a reliable courier service to collect your car parts and deliver them safely to their destination, you are ensuring the parts arrive in the same condition they were sent. When considering a suitable car parts courier service, take into account the following:
Different types and sizes of car parts - how many car parts do you need to send? Various sizes will impact on costs as well as delivery times.
Package them securely - using a sturdy cardboard box is recommended, along with wrapping delicate parts with bubble wrap and packaging peanuts to fill any gaps to avoid vehicle parts moving around too much in transit.
Delivery options - Choose an appropriate delivery method – whether you require next-day delivery for your car parts, or if recorded delivery is important for your parcel to be signed for on arrival.
Prohibited items - Before dispatching any car parts or related components, check if they're allowed for shipping (you can view our list of prohibited items).
We offer many delivery service options, including parcel collection and drop off delivery. With many parcel pick up services and drop off locations near you, you can choose the most convenient option for you!
