Delivery time depends on the destination and service. Interparcel offers economy and express options, with some European deliveries available from the next working day after collection. The live quote shows the estimated transit time for each eligible service.

Do I need customs paperwork to send a parcel to Europe?

Customs requirements depend on the origin and destination. Parcels sent from Great Britain to EU destinations require customs information. Interparcel collects the required shipment details during booking and provides the labels and documents needed for the selected service.
