Cheap Parcel Delivery – Transporteca

Parcels are used in principle for shipments that are too large to fit in an envelope and too small to be on a pallet. They are typically between the size of a shoebox and a large crate.

Parcel post is typically used for distribution and smaller international shipments. You may have experienced parcel postage from online shopping, whether you have purchased from within the UK or from overseas. Parcel post is typically used for this type of distribution of goods, ie for B2C purposes.

In addition, parcel postage is also for smaller international shipments, even if it does not have to go fast. The reason is that at the slower modes, such as by ship or hauler, there is a minimum size, on which you will be charged. This is usually 1 cubic meter of ocean freight and one pallet for haulage. In other words, you’re going to pay for a 1 cubic meter or 1 full pallet, even if you only send a small cardboard box. This minimum does not exist for parcel post. Here, in principle, you could go down to letter-size.
