Before you send
Quick sending tips
Step 1
Pack before measuring
Measure and weigh the parcel after it is packed, so the figures include the packaging.
Step 2
Protect the contents
Choose sturdy packaging that suits the item, cushion fragile contents and seal every opening.
Step 3
Check the provider’s rules
Before booking, check current size, weight and prohibited-item rules, plus collection or drop-off options.
Step 4
Confirm the address
Double-check the recipient’s name, full address and postcode, and add a return address where appropriate.
Step 5
Keep your proof of postage
Save the receipt and any tracking reference until the parcel has reached its destination.
