We typically book Parcelforce deliveries the day before the requested collection or drop off date since we find that this gives optimum results with the courier company. When we book the delivery we will at the same time produce a set of labels in Adobe PDF format. We will e-mail these to you and you must print the labels and attach to the parcel before the collection/drop off. You will receive your labels the day before the collection/drop off so do not worry if you have booked your delivery for some time in advance and you haven't heard from us. Please note that we process orders up to 5pm on Mon-Fri (exc. Bank Holidays) and are able to book deliveries for the next working day. Any orders received after 5PM cannot be processed that day and therefore cannot be collected the next working day.

We will give you a tracking number which will allow you to track your parcel on-line, so you can check where it is at any time. You can even see a copy of the signature from the recipient. Maximum Weight & Size It may appear strange but a parcel has 2 weights. Firstly there is the obvious weight that you will know by putting the parcel on some scales and then there is the DIMENSIONAL WEIGHT. The dimensional weight is a formula used throughout the parcel delivery industry that consider package's size when determining charges. Parcelforce calculate dimensional weight as the length of the parcel when packed (in centimetres) multiplied by the height of the parcel when packed (in centimetres) multiplied again by the width of the parcel when packed (in centimetres) all divided by 5000. As an example if the parcel was 50cm long, 30cm wide and 25cm high, the dimensional weight would be (50 * 30 * 25)/5000 = 7.5Kg. Delivery charges are based on the actual weight of the shipment OR the dimensional weight of the shipment, whichever is greater. Simply put dimensional weight becomes significant where you have a parcel which is lighter than expected for a parcel of that size - like a box filled with inflated balloons! The maximum size parcel that we can accept under this product is: You can use the calculator below to check that your parcel meets each of these weight and size restrictions.
