Sending parcels

Can’t you just quickly rush back and pickup my parcel?
Unfortunately, we can’t do this because our couriers operate on a timetable (like a train or bus). If we went back we’d be late for the next customer apologises for an inconvenience, but this is the way we reduce our costs to provide our great low price service to you.
How should I package my item?
We know how important it is that your parcel arrives safely and undamaged. Packaging items carefully gets them off to a good start.
- Choose a good quality box. A double walled box, especially for deliveries that contain fragile items.
- Choose the right sized box. Boxes that are too small could mean the contents get lost. Boxes that are too large are likely to collapse if another parcel is placed on top of it during delivery.
- Protect your items Bubble wrap, packing peanuts, foam, and newspaper can all be used to protect your items.
- Wrap each item in the box individually. When sending multiple items within one box it’s recommended that each item is wrapped individually. This offers better protection for your items and reduces movement.
- Seal the parcel with packing tape. Seal all open edges of the parcel with wide parcel tape on both the top and bottom of your package to ensure it doesn’t open during transit.
- When labelling your parcel, always use clear, accurate address labels on your parcels.
