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.
