Quotes & booking

Do I need an account to send a parcel?+

No. You can compare prices, book, pay, and track without an account. Sign up later if you want to save addresses or earn wallet bonuses.

How quickly do I get a quote?+

Two postcodes and parcel size — typically under two seconds for a full comparison across every carrier we support.

Which carriers can I compare?+

Royal Mail, DPD, Evri, Parcelforce, UPS, DHL, Yodel, Whistl, and more. Every major UK courier on one page.

Are the prices final?+

Yes — the quote price includes VAT and any applicable surcharges. The price you see is the price you pay.

Pickup & drop-off

Can I get a courier to collect?+

Yes. Tick the collection box on the quote form and we'll only show services that include door-to-door pickup.

Where can I drop my parcel off?+

Local Post Offices, parcel shops, and lockers — depending on the carrier you pick. We list the nearest options after booking.

What if I miss the courier?+

Most carriers re-attempt automatically the next working day. You'll get an email with the new attempt window.

Tracking

How do I track my parcel?+

Use the public tracking page — paste your tracking number from the booking confirmation. We pull the latest event from the carrier in real time.

Will I get notifications?+

Email + optional SMS at every major step — booked, dispatched, out for delivery, delivered. You opt in during checkout; we don't spam.

Restricted items, claims & refunds

Are there things I can't send?+

Yes — every carrier has a restricted-items list (weapons, lithium batteries, perishables, hazardous goods). We surface a warning at quote time and a hard block at booking for the obviously-prohibited.

What if my parcel is lost or damaged?+

We help you raise a claim with the carrier. Standard cover varies by carrier; details are shown on each service before you book.

Can I get a refund?+

If the parcel hasn't been collected yet, you can cancel and get refunded. Once it's in transit, refunds depend on carrier policy and outcome of any claim.

Business accounts

How do I apply for a business account?+

From the Business page, click Apply. We need name, email, password, and company name. Approval is usually within one working day.

What does a business account unlock?+

Bulk CSV upload, batch labels in one ZIP, prepay wallet with bonuses, monthly statements, team logins, and negotiated rates.

Is there a monthly fee?+

No. Pay per parcel, just like a personal account.
