CAN I GET A PARCEL
COLLECTED & DELIVERED?

Get a parcel collected and delivered

You may have wandered into an independently-owned shop and found a piece of furniture, or bought something from a seller on Gumtree, now faced with the task of getting the item safely delivered to you.

While it may sound challenging, in actual fact it’s really simple to achieve. Especially with our door to door courier service.

Our guide will take you through our simple step by step process and offer tips along the way.

How to get a parcel collected and delivered to yourself:

Get your online Quote

The first step in the process is completing an online quote, which is completely commitment free, using our online quick quote service. Before completing our super quick parcel delivery booking form it’s important to weigh and measure your parcels (including any packaging) precisely, so we can provide you with an accurate quote. The way you package your parcel can often help minimise costs, so be sure to consider any cost saving tips. Once you fill in these details our tool will provide you with a price.

Please note, if you are booking a collection on behalf of the seller, they will need to specify the size and weight of the parcel they are sending to you.

You can register online with us (its quick and easy) or simply checkout as a guest. Regsitering with us gives you exclusive acess to My DHL Rewards, integration with over 10 marketplce and ecommerce sites plus lots of tools to speed up your parcel delivery booking.  Whether you are an individual parcel sender or small business, we are to help with your parcel needs at a minimised cost.
 

Book your parcel for collection

You can book a collection from a specified address of your choosing – our drivers will collect your parcels from a home or business address in the UK and deliver to anywhere in the UK or Internationally to over 160 countries including Europe, America, Asia and beyond. View a list of our international delivery destinations.

Please note, for any international orders, our drivers can only collect from a registered address or alternatively, the parcel can be dropped off to the nearest depot.
 

How to arrange a courier collection from someone else?

If you have purchased an item on a marketplace such as eBay or Gumtree and want to arrange a collection from your seller, then we can help. Simply retrieve a quote as normal and set the collection name and address to your senders.

It’s worth noting, if you are requesting this on their behalf then you should ensure they are available at the time of collection or can provide details of a nominated safe place. You’ll also need to send them the shipping labels to attach on to the parcel and ask them to weigh and measure the parcel. But other than that a simple role reversal will have your parcel on its way to you.
 

Getting your parcel ready for collection

If you are the sender of a parcel, there are a couple of things you’ll need to do:

Delivery Labels

Whether we are collecting the parcel from your address or from someone else’s address, you’ll need to ensure the dedicated person is able to print the labels out and firmly secure them to the parcel before collection.
 

Size and weight limits for UK parcel delivery

We can courier small parcels as little as 1cm right up to large parcels with dimensions of up to 70cm, carrying a maximum weight of 30kg. Weighing your parcel accurately will result in the best quote.
