CHEAP WAYS TO SEND PARCELS

Looking for an affordable way to send parcels in the UK? With DHL eCommerce UK, you can save money by choosing the delivery option that suits you best.

The cheapest way to send a parcel is to drop it off at your local depot, where it’ll be collected and delivered to your recipient’s nearest depot.

You can also book low-cost delivery from a depot straight to your recipient’s door or their nearest ServicePoint. With thousands of ServicePoints nationwide accepting parcel drop-offs, it’s easy to take advantage of our reliable and cheap courier service anywhere in the UK.

If convenience matters most, you can also book door-to-door collection from your home or business address - all at a competitive price.

After collection or drop-off, your parcel is taken to the nearest DHL depot, sorted overnight, and sent to your recipient’s local area for next-day delivery, or ServicePoint or depot collection. It’s fast, reliable and great value.

We keep pricing simple with set rates for different parcel sizes, from small to extra-large. It means you’ll always know what you’ll pay before you send. Just make sure your package stays within our maximum dimensions to avoid collection issues or delays.
