A good value parcel

Very good found a very good price to return an item to India and was kept informed along the way and when it was delivered from the parcel company.

Wayne Johns

Couldn't have gone smoother.

Service was impeccable. Driver turned up to collect at correct time, despite potentially being a difficult place to find within the hospital. Driver was very smart and polite. Tracking was updated regularly and delivery on date as expected.

UPS prices and surcharges

The price we quote you includes all applicable surcharges. If your parcel has a length + girth exceeding 300cm, it will incur surcharges with UPS. Aim to keep your parcels under this size, to make the best of the huge UPS savings we offer.

UPS surcharges for large & heavy parcels

UPS collection & delivery

We offer UPS next day collection for free. UPS only make 1 collection attempt. If you miss this, you will need to rebook. Next day rebooking is free, but if you want to rebook for same day collection you will have to pay a charge. However, if your parcel is within Access Point size & weight restrictions, you can drop your parcel at a local UPS Access Point.

About UPS

With an incredible half a million employees, UPS delivers 24M packages every day, generating $84B in annual revenues. UPS continually invests in technology to enhance their service offering. Their strict size and weight restrictions keeps non-conveyable freight to a minimum, helping them maintain a lean and efficient operation. It’s this efficiency that enables them to process a mind-boggling 416,000 packages an hour through their main Kentucky hub. UPS offers very high levels of on-time delivery and are one of our most trusted delivery partners.

Why choose UPS?

UPS offer extremely fast delivery, their USA, EU and Far East services in particular offer exceptional transit times. The UPS Economy Standard and Expedited service offer much cheaper rates with transit times that are generally only 1-2 days longer than express. Whilst UPS is quite strict about the commodities they carry, along with the max size and weight, as long as your shipment falls within their parameters, UPS services offer high reliability and great value for money.

Prohibited items

Unlike some carriers, UPS can ship personal effects, including clothing, shoes, electronics and even passports. However there are lots of items that UPS cannot ship, and some of them may not be so obvious, including food to the EU, power banks, and cash. Always check the prohibited list prior to shipping, to avoid the risk of you're package being returned. It's also worth noting that some countries prohibit particular items from being shipped, so if your sending something obscure or rare, it's worth checking with the local customs authority prior to shipping.

Parcelhero has a global list of items that are prohibited for all carriers. In addition to that list, the following items are prohibited by UPS.
