Why people send with Ecoparcel
Sell to 449 million people without a warehouse in every country
The EU is one market of roughly 449 million people, and we ship across all of it. Your supplier in Poland can send straight to your customer in Portugal, with the parcel never passing through your hands.
That is what turns cross-border selling into home-market selling. No customs paperwork between member states, no second courier contract, no pallet sitting in your hallway waiting to be split up and posted on.
A free account opens bulk imports and a saved address book, so forty orders go out in one pass instead of forty.
Shopify, Etsy, eBay and WooCommerce connect straight in. Orders arrive as labels, with no address retyped.
Paid tiers add volume discounts, deferred invoicing and API access once a shop outgrows clicking through a form. Existing customers can switch an account over without starting again.

Drop it at a parcel locker or have a courier collect it
Nobody wants to plan a day around a post office queue. Drop the parcel at a shop counter or a parcel locker on your way past, or book a courier collection and hand it over at the door. The price is the same either way.
Lockers take parcels outside shop hours, so a Sunday evening works as well as a Tuesday morning. Print the label at home and the drop itself takes about a minute.
Heavy boxes and days you cannot get out are what a parcel collection service is for. Pick a date, leave the parcel with whoever is in, and the driver does the rest. Locker to locker works the same way at both ends.
Tracking starts at the first scan and stays in one place, whichever courier ends up carrying the box.

Cheap parcel delivery tracked the whole way
Two couriers, same route, same box, and the price can differ by half. The cheapest way to send a parcel shifts with the route, the weight and the week, so we price every courier that covers you and put them in one list.
They are the same carriers you could book direct: GLS, DPD, UPS, FedEx, DHL. The rates come from our volume across all of them rather than yours alone, which is how a cheap courier service stops meaning a worse one.
Here is how the comparison works.
Cover for the first €100 of declared value sits in every price. Above that, €2 per €100 declared. Checkout adds nothing that was not on the quote.
Parcel tracking runs from the first scan to the doorstep, so you can track a parcel without hunting down whichever courier is carrying it. Compare prices for your parcel
Next day parcel delivery and same day where it runs
When it has to be there tomorrow, next day parcel delivery comes with the cut-off time printed on the offer, so you know before paying whether today’s handover still makes it.
Same day parcel delivery covers fewer routes. Where a courier runs it, it sits in the same list, priced beside the slower services.
A service that cannot make the date never appears in your results, so nothing you book can quietly miss it.
Most cut-offs land in the afternoon. Hand the parcel over before one and it travels a full day sooner. Collections run on weekdays only, so a Friday booking matters.
Check tomorrow’s cut-off for your route
International parcel delivery with the customs paperwork done
Sending outside the EU puts most people off at the paperwork. The customs declaration is built from what you enter in the booking, then downloads with the label.
Customs officers need specifics, not summaries. “Three cotton t-shirts, €45” moves through; “gift” or “samples” is what gets a parcel held. List each item, what it is made of, how many there are and what it is worth.
Duty and tax are set by the destination country and usually fall to whoever receives the parcel. Tell them before you send.
Requirements differ by country and show before you pay, not once the parcel is already moving. We cover the rest in our guide to sending abroad.

FAQs
How To Choose The Best Shipping Option?
Choosing the best shipping option ensures your parcel reaches its destination on time and within budget. Our services are available to the general public and businesses of all sizes.
Cost is one of the top influencing factors of shipping a parcel. Luckily, EcoParcel has cheap parcel services that allow you to send a package internationally at the lowest price. Our platform shows pricing options from all the top courier companies.
Speed or urgency is another factor to consider when choosing the best shipping option. Some parcels do need to be delivered as soon as possible. For example, important documents that must be signed ASAP often require overnight shipping. Ecoparcel offers the option to send packages in as little as one business day for an added fee.
Lastly, the size of the parcel can impact the shipping option. Different carriers have different weight restrictions and size limits. Checking their requirements versus the competition will allow you to choose the best shipping option without additional surcharges.
How Long Does It Take To Deliver A Parcel?
International parcel delivery varies by destination. The longer the distance, the more time it will take to deliver a package. In some cases, mailing a parcel can take 1-3 days, whereas a parcel that has to cross Europe can take upwards of 6 days.
Customs processes in certain countries can take days. This aspect is not something the courier company or EcoParcel can control. The good news is that sending parcels to Europe from another EU country is much more relaxed as opposed to sending a parcel to a non-EU country.
Another factor that can impact delivery times is the shipping method. Standard delivery is the most common option and might vary slightly from one courier to another. For time-sensitive parcels, EcoParcel offers express shipping at an added cost.

How Do I Weigh And Measure My Parcel?
Measuring and weighing a package is the best way to get an accurate quote. Start by measuring the overall dimensions of the parcel. Once everything is packed and secured, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the height, length, and width.
With this information, you can enter the details in the EcoParcel platform. Please note that the measurements are to be centimetres. This information is critical to send packages internationally at the best price.
Weight is the last measurement you need to get an accurate shipping price. A digital scale is recommended for the most accurate weight. For light packages, a kitchen scale will suffice. But for bigger parcels, EcoParcel recommends a bathroom or luggage scale. Remember, the weight and measurements of the parcel will directly impact the final price.
