Just because your parcel has been sent, it doesn’t mean you will stop worrying about it. Christmas may not be upon us yet, but the early birds among us like to get things bought, wrapped and sent as early as possible to make sure it arrives in more than enough time so we can sit back and relax. The next few months will see a surge in parcels passing through the sorting offices of the country, so you’ll obviously want to make sure yours are safe. You can use the RAND parcel tracking app to keep an eye on exactly where all your parcels are so you don’t need to worry, so even if you’re sending ten lovingly wrapped gifts, you can track each and every one to be sure that they arrived safely at their destination.

Sending Large Parcels

There is a golden rule that a surprising amount of people don’t realise when it comes to sending parcels: it’s all about striking the balance between the size and the weight. Just because you’re sending a tiny parcel, it doesn’t mean you will be paying next to nothing to send it if it is very heavy, and equally a large box won’t necessarily mean paying a fortune if you’re only sending pillows.

When you’re thinking about how you will package your items, think about the best way to fit them into as small a space as possible. In a way, it is like Tetris – if you can slot things together and utilise all the space in a box effectively, you can keep costs down. The larger the parcel, the more you will pay for the size. For example, if you are posting two new pairs of shoes, by simply doing away with the shoeboxes you can save a lot of space and fit both pairs into the equivalent space of one box.

If you’re sending multiple items, it may well end up costing less to send your items in separate small boxes, as very large boxes will come with a premium postage cost to match as they are difficult to transport and deliver. Lots of small items may require a massive box to send in one package, but by splitting this into more manageable parcels you might be able to reduce your packaging costs.

Also make sure you’re not using a box too big for what you’re actually sending. This can push the cost up even though you’re not using all the space inside, which is a waste of money. Find a box into which the item fits as well as possible to only spend the money necessary to send the parcel.

We offer competitive rates on sending large parcels at RAND, so use our quote finder today to find out how much it will cost you to send your large package abroad.
