How to post a large parcel
Sending large, heavy or long parcels with Evri is simple. Plus, you have two different sending options to choose from, so you can pick the method that suits you best.
Package, measure and weigh your parcel to ensure it doesn’t exceed our maximum limits
Book your parcel online or using our app – make sure you add in the measurements you just took to get an accurate price
Book either a courier collection to have the item collected from your home or ParcelShop or Locker drop off
Print your postage label at home or using our Print in ParcelShop devices.
How to measure a large parcel
Large parcels can be tricky to measure and weigh. Thankfully we have a few top tips to help you out:
- Weigh your parcel on a set of digital scales to get an accurate weight
- Compare your item to other similar items online if you’re struggling to weigh your parcel at home
- Take the weight from the original postage label if your parcel was previously delivered to you
- Measure your parcel using a tape measure. Add together the 2 shortest sides and multiply it by 2. Then add the length of your parcel to that figure.
- If your final measurement figure is less than 245cm and the weight is less than 15kg you’re good to go.
If you don’t weigh or measure your parcel correctly, you might be overcharged for your large parcel delivery. Any overweight or over-sized parcels may not be delivered, so it’s essential you get the measurements correct before sending.
How to pack a heavy parcel for delivery
Packaging your parcel correctly is a big step in making sure it gets to its destination safely. All you need to do is follow these simple steps:
Find a suitable box or bag – reinforced packaging may be needed for heavier packages to ensure the box can hold the items
Wrap your items
Pack the empty space
Put your address inside
Fasten your parcel with tape – put heavy duty tape along any seams of your box to ensure it stays sealed
Secure any loose edges
Label your package
Send your parcel
Get cover for your heavy parcel delivery
Free compensation against loss, theft and damage up to the value of £20 is included as part of our large item courier service.
If you’re sending something more valuable, you have the choice to increase your cover for a small additional fee.
Not all items are covered for compensation. Check out what we can’t cover on our guide to non-compensation items before you send.
Find your nearest ParcelShop
With Evri, you can drop off your large parcels at your nearest ParcelShop and hand your package to the cashier so that sending it fits around your daily activities.
Plus, if you don’t have a printer at home, you can use our Print in ParcelShop devices to print your postage label quickly and easily.
