Saturday and Sunday parcel delivery without weekday limits
Weekend parcel delivery gives households and businesses more control over when a shipment arrives, whether you need to send a parcel for Saturday delivery or arrange an eligible Sunday service.
Compare the named delivery day, handover method and cut-off time carefully. Weekend postage or drop-off does not automatically mean the courier will deliver the parcel on Saturday or Sunday.

Weekend delivery means the courier plans to deliver on Saturday or Sunday. A parcel handed over at the weekend may still wait for the next scheduled network collection.
Saturday parcel delivery
- Broader choice of standard and timed courier services
- Useful for residential recipients and weekend-opening businesses
- Often requires collection or drop-off before Saturday
- Choose a service specifically labelled for Saturday delivery
Sunday parcel delivery

Weekend parcel collection and drop-off options
The delivery day and handover day can be different. A Saturday or Sunday collection is less widely available than weekend drop-off, so compare exactly how and when the parcel must enter the courier network.
SCHEDULED COLLECTION
Weekend courier collection
Many Saturday and Sunday delivery services use a weekday collection before the weekend. If you need an actual Saturday or Sunday collection, check the live quote for an eligible same-day or specialist courier option.

Can I book Saturday parcel delivery in the UK?+
Yes. Interparcel compares UK Saturday parcel delivery services from several couriers. Choose a service that specifically states Saturday delivery because a standard next-working-day service does not automatically include Saturday.

Not automatically. Next day usually means the next working day unless the service name or description specifically confirms Saturday delivery. Select a dedicated Saturday service when the parcel must arrive that day.
Can a courier collect my parcel at the weekend?+
Most scheduled Saturday and Sunday network services use a weekday collection or handover before the weekend. Selected same-day weekend services may offer weekend collection on eligible routes, so check the live quote and service details.
Can I drop off a parcel on Saturday?+
Many shops, lockers, Post Offices and service points open on Saturday, but opening hours and courier acceptance times vary. Book first and use a location compatible with the exact service selected.
Can I send a parcel on Sunday?+
You may be able to hand a booked parcel over at a Sunday-opening shop or locker. However, the parcel may not enter the courier network until the next scheduled collection, so check the location hours and service instructions.
When should I book weekend parcel delivery?+
Book as early as possible and follow the collection or drop-off deadline shown with the service. Saturday and Sunday options normally have stricter cut-off times than standard weekday delivery.

The price depends on the packed dimensions and weight, both postcodes, courier, chosen delivery day, delivery time and handover method. Enter accurate details to compare current weekend courier prices.

Can online retailers offer Saturday and Sunday delivery?+
Yes. Weekend delivery can give customers an additional arrival-day choice for urgent orders, gifts, launches and replacement items. Businesses should compare the extra cost and handover deadline against the order value and customer promise.
