Parcelforce 48 Express Large is a two-day parcel delivery service specifically designed for sending large and heavy items in the UK.
It’s not suitable for palletised goods, but if you have a particularly large parcel (up to 2.25m in length) then Express 48 Large is the service for you.
Express 48 Large can accommodate individual items that weigh up to 30kg and your item can be as long as 2.25m and 4.5m length and girth combined.
Many of our customers use Parcelforce 48 Large as a reliable and cost-effective way to send large household items that they’ve sold on eBay.
Courier prices are calculated based on the weight and size of your parcel, so you should always expect to pay more to send a large parcel than a small one. However, Parcelforce 48 Large is a two-day delivery service, which makes it cheaper than next day delivery and when you book through Parcel Monkey you’ll get a discount!
You can use our free courier quote calculator to get an instant quote and compare prices from a range of couriers.
You can book an Express 48 delivery when you get a quote using our courier quote tool. Simply enter the weight and dimensions of your parcel and if your item is over 1.35m then Express 48 Large will show up in your quote results.
You’ll also be able to compare prices to other large parcel delivery services so you can be sure you’re getting the best deal.
Follow our simple booking process to book your parcel collection and pay for your delivery.
It can be awkward to take a large parcel to the Post Office, which is why Parcelforce offer a collection service for large and heavy parcels.

When you send a parcel via Parcelforce Express 48 Large you’ll be able to track it every step of the way using our Parcelforce tracking tool or through the Parcelforce website using the tracking number from your shipping label.

I am pleased by the timing of delivery.
I was so worried about how I was going to send the mobility scooter back, but the whole thing went very smoothly with the help of Parcel Monkey.
My parcel was collected by a very polite and helpful man and it was delivered to the recipient the following morning. It was so straight forward. I even found a picture of the parcel at the delivery address when I checked the tracking. I also was given the name of the person who received it.
It took 2 attempts to collect when a phone call or email with a 2 hour time slot could have prevented it, The first collection failed when I had stayed in all day only to nip out at 14.50 to school and returned 15.12 to find the collection agent had been at 15.02
Service was expensive but prompt on time and good.
Excellent service

Perfect… hassle free online arrangement to collect my package from my house and deliver it to the customers home. Good price and very quick delivery. Thanks
