SMALL ITEMS

Small package postage service to the UK

When you need to post a small parcel to the UK, the secret to saving on shipping costs is preparing compact packaging. Try to choose a cardboard box or padded envelope that is only slightly bigger than the item itself – just enough for you to add some cushioning material to keep it safe from movement.

The dimensions of your package directly influence the calculation of the postage rates to the UK. The smaller your parcel is, the cheaper the delivery will be.

How to post large packages to the UK

If you are posting a large parcel to the United Kingdom that is heavier than the standard limit of 30 kg, you can opt for our Priority or Priority Express services for shipments of up to 70 kg.

If a package shipping service is not suitable for your needs, we also offer freight transport solutions. You can post large packages to the UK on pallets or, if you don’t want the hassle of restrictive packaging requirements, you can book a Van Service reserved just for your load, depending on availability from your location.

FAQ on international postage to the UK for parcels and letters

What are the postage rates to the UK?

The type of item and the service will determine the rate:

For packages: The size of your shipment will affect the parcel postage rate to the UK. The price will be automatically calculated when you insert the weight and dimensions in our booking tool. Naturally, small parcels will cost less to post to the UK than large parcels so we recommend packing efficiently to keep the price lower.

For envelopes: You can access letter postage rates to the UK on our platform in just a few clicks. While you may find that the letter postage to the UK is higher than what your local post office offers, the reason is that our service includes online tracking and signed delivery.

Go to our booking engine for an instant quote.

Can I use a regular stamp for international postage to the UK?

Yes, you can use a regular stamp when using mailing or postage services to the UK. Bear in mind that the delivery time may take longer with this standard option. If you need an express or premium postage service to the UK for a time-sensitive letter, you will need a first-class stamp.

How many stamps do I need to post a letter to the United Kingdom?

If you are posting a letter to the UK using regular mailing services, the size of your envelope will determine the number of stamps. The postal worker should give you the required number of stamps anyway. However, if you choose our Document Service to post a letter to the UK, you will not need any stamps.

Do I have to pay customs when posting a package to the UK?

If you post parcels to the United Kingdom from another country within the same free trade agreement, you should not have to pay customs. However, if your shipment crosses international borders, it will be checked by customs and you will be contacted as required for payment. Every country has different regulations, so we advise you to check this further on governmental websites. You can find more information on our page about shipping customs.

Where do I get the right packaging materials for posting items to the UK?

You can get packaging materials for posting parcels and letters to the UK in most stationery or hardware stores. It is important to choose appropriate packaging materials for the items you are posting to the UK to ensure maximum protection during transport.
