Pros and cons
Pros
- One booking screen compares 20 couriers, so the lane that suits a heavy or urgent parcel is visible at once.
- Prices open at £2.46, which keeps a light parcel cheap to send.
- Pallet, same-day and worldwide delivery sit beside the standard routes, so one site covers regular and urgent parcels.
- The site sits behind Interparcel Ltd, a company incorporated 2004, so a reader knows who is on the other end of a query.
- Collection and drop-off are both offered, so a parcel need not wait in an office for a driver to arrive.
Cons
- Prices start at £2.46, so the headline figure needs checking against the weight and destination of a real consignment.
- With 20 couriers on the list, the service a parcel gets depends on the choice made at booking, which can mean a slower option than a reader had in mind.

Who should look elsewhere

The company behind it
The site belongs to Interparcel Ltd, a company incorporated 2004 and based in the United Kingdom, with its office at Crawley in West Sussex. Buyers who need a person can phone or start a live chat, or send an email when they want a written record of a query. That matters when a parcel is late or a delivery has to be redirected, because the same company answers for the booking and for the complaint. The registration also gives a reader a legal name to deal with rather than a trading alias, which helps when a refund is disputed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a parcel cost through Interparcel?+
Parcel prices start at £2.46, with the figure shown next to the amount before VAT. That is a floor price rather than a quote for a particular consignment, so a heavy parcel or a long route will sit above it. A sender with regular volumes should still price each parcel at the point of booking, where its weight and destination are known.
Which countries does Interparcel ship to?+
The site covers 7 countries including the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. A sender outside those markets should check the gateway list before assuming a rate applies, because parcels travel through Interparcel sites rather than every country. The carrier picked at the point of booking sets the final destination country and the delivery options that go with it.
Can I drop a parcel off instead of waiting for a collection?+
A sender hands a parcel over through either of collection and drop off, and the site carries a drop-off locator for the drop-off side of that. It means a parcel can be moving within the day without waiting for a collection slot, which helps anyone without a reception desk to receive a driver.
Who runs Interparcel and where is it based?+
The site is run by Interparcel Ltd, incorporated 2004 and based in the United Kingdom, with an office in Crawley in West Sussex. A named company behind the account matters when a parcel goes missing or a refund is disputed, because a reader has a legal entity to deal with rather than a trading name.
How do I get help when a parcel needs chasing?+
Support runs on email, chat, phone and more, so a question about a booked parcel can go down several routes at once. A sender whose parcel is late can start with live chat for a quick answer, put the details in an email if a record is needed, or check the knowledge base first when the question is a common one.
