For some destinations you might have more than one available courier or service, so it would be a case of choosing which had the balance of speed and price that you find most appealing.

Ease of use

The advantage of using our service to book your international parcel delivery needs is that you won't have to subsequently visit the courier's website and then plug in all the details again. You can quickly and easily book with us. You can then manage and track your order in the one place which can be especially beneficial if you're sending parcels to many different destinations with a variety of couriers - you wouldn't need to have separate accounts with the different couriers.

We believe the advantages of using Parcel Monkey for your global courier needs releases you from the burden managing the couriers and gives you more time to grow your business if you're a corporate user or more time to relax if you're an individual.

Check what you can ship internationally

Although we do have a list of prohibited items that you can't generally can't send via couriers, each nation would have their own restrictions that you would need to be aware of. For instance, India doesn't allow baby gender prediction kits and South Africa restricts the importation of skin care items.

It's also crucial that when you book your international parcel delivery that you describe the contents of the parcel as clearly and accurately as possible so that the courier has another opportunity to ensure that nothing illegal is being carried or if you are trying to ship something that may incur duty when entering the destination country. This process isn't full proof, but is another layer of control to help have a trouble-free delivery.

Great packaging is key

Just because you may have written "fragile" on your parcel, it doesn't mean that you can't take care in packaging it. Spending another 5 minutes using bubble wrap, newspaper, securing the parcel tightly and ensuring that a sturdy cardboard box is used can save an hour or so of the recipient taking photos of the damage and you chasing up a claim, which may not be paid out.

Remove old bar codes

Often we re-use cardboard boxes from previous deliveries and it may not obvious that old address details and barcodes may still be on the underside of the box. Just to prevent routing issues within the automated services, it would be wise to remove all address information and barcodes from the box.
