We have chosen to work with Parcelforce in order to provide our customers with a reputable and affordable courier service. They offer all the same services as their competitors, but we have negotiated a special rate for all of our customers.

Parcelforce Package Tracking via Track and Trace

The Parcelforce tracking number allows you to track and trace your package's journey from the moment it leaves the warehouse to the moment it arrives at its destination. To track your package on a map enter your tracking number on our parcel tracking page.

Disruptions are rare shipping problems, but they can happen for various reasons. For example, if a virus is present at the point of origin, it can severely slow down shipping.

Parcelforce Insurance Cover

Parcelforce services usually come with an inclusive insurance of only €100, whereas extra coverage can be purchased from Ecoparcel for an additional fee.

Parcelforce Size and Weight Limits for Parcels

Maximum Weights

For sending within the UK you can send parcels up to 30kg. There's no limit on weight for sending more than one parcel, but each of them must not exceed 30kg. Like with most carriers, there are limits to the weight we can carry for international destinations.

Maximum Dimensions

For standard parcel delivery, parcels cannot be larger than 3 metres * 1.5 metres. If you want to send a large parcel, you can use the express48large service (a maximum of 4 metres in length and girth combined and 2.5 metres in length).

Parcelforce offer a range of shipping methods that have been designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of customers, no matter where they are sending a parcel within the UK or overseas.

Parcelforce will collect parcels from any address in the UK you specify. If you want your parcel to be collected, it's important to book a collection service.

You can drop your parcel off at one of over 11,500 post offices, or any other place that displays Parcelforce stickers. Simply find your closest Post Office.

All your deliveries will be tracked and traced online, right from the moment you book until the moment it's delivered. Once you've booked your delivery, you'll get a unique tracking number that you can share with anyone who needs to stay updated on where their parcel is. And when your parcel arrives, you'll also get a proof of delivery.

Parcelforce will automatically include £50 of cover with every booking, but they also give you the option to purchase additional coverage for a maximum of £1,000. There are certain items that aren't allowed on our services, so it's a good idea to check out a list of prohibited goods to ensure that your items will be covered.
