Explore specialist deliveryWhat does UK parcel delivery cover?
Domestic parcel delivery connects UK collection and drop-off points with addresses across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. That includes many routes to the Scottish Highlands, islands and other remote postcodes.
Coverage is not identical for every courier. Water crossings, remote areas and early delivery deadlines can affect price, transit time and service choice, which is why both postcodes matter when you compare.
UK delivery means no international customs process. Parcels moving entirely within the United Kingdom do not need export customs invoices, although normal courier prohibited and restricted item rules still apply.
