Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest way to ship a parcel in the UK?
For small, lightweight items (under 2kg), Evri and Royal Mail Large Letter are typically the cheapest options. Evri's standard parcel service starts from around £3.29 for parcels up to 2kg. Royal Mail Tracked 48 is competitive for 2kg+ parcels. Business account holders at DPD and DHL often get better rates than consumer prices shown here.
How is shipping volumetric weight calculated?
Volumetric weight (kg) = Length x Width x Height (cm) divided by 5,000. A box measuring 40cm x 30cm x 20cm has a volumetric weight of 4.8kg. Carriers charge whichever is greater: actual weight or volumetric weight. Large but light items like pillows or lampshades often cost more to ship than their actual weight suggests.
