Economy delivery is a popular option for parcel and pallet shipping in the UK and beyond. With a range of parcel drop off and courier collection options available from the likes of Evri, Yodel and Parcelforce, Economy shipping is excellent for non-urgent parcel delivery. It's the cheapest sending option available!
What is Economy delivery?
Economy parcel delivery is the cheapest shipping option offered by most of our trusted courier partners. Since shipping costs are typically related to transit speed, Economy services typically take longer than Same Day, Next Day, and Express services. UK Economy services aim to deliver your parcel within 2-5 working days. Global economy shipping differs depending on the destination country so it can take longer than domestic delivery.
What are the benefits of Economy shipping for…
Individual shippers?
It's low-cost
Whether you're a regular parcel sender or send the odd package here and there, it's great to know you've paid the best price possible. Economy shipping starts from as little as £1.75 plus VAT a parcel! You can benefit from our straightforward online comparison tool to see which domestic or international economy shipping service and transit cover is best for you.
Can just be as fast
Whilst Economy shipping has a longer estimated transit time, it can be as quick as standard options and often at a lower price. Plus, our range of Economy Drop Off services can be faster than collection and is convenient for sending on the go.
Always tracked
All parcel deliveries booked through Interparcel come with full online tracking as standard, so whether you purchase an Economy service or a Next Day service, you'll know where your shipment is during its journey.
Businesses?
Wide choice of services
We pride ourselves on partnering with some of the best couriers in the business, so you're not tied to one carrier, giving you the flexibility to choose affordable Economy service for you. It also means that if your courier of choice is experiencing any delays, you can easily compare and book on to a similar service so your customer order won't be affected.
Suitable for all different sized parcels
Economy shipping caters for small parcels, large parcels and even pallets, so online orders of all sizes are covered. Many of our Economy services include a level of transit cover for free, giving you peace of mind that your items are covered. You can also purchase additional coverage depending on the courier service.

Low-cost parcel delivery to both UK and worldwide addresses makes it more accessible for your small eCommerce business to grow and expand into overseas markets. You can ship to over 200 countries and territories in just a few simple steps!
