How to send your products worldwide safely, timely and in a cost effective manner
With the world being increasingly connected, families living across the globe, and with customers residing in all and every country, it is increasingly important that you can send your parcels safely and economically worldwide. Thankfully, you can.
When sending your parcels, it is important to realise that the majority of the process for sending your parcels across the world will remain the same as for UK couriers (please read our sections on this topic within the Knowledge Centre). The main differences beyond the compliance elements are in the lead times that you can expect for your parcels and in the transportation – they will only ever be sent by truck (Europe – see ‘European Courier’ or air). Whilst some larger providers may offer an end-to-end solution (they will collect, transport, customs clear, and offer delivery to the customer), most providers will control the UK side of the logistics themselves, before passing your parcel to a third party (e.g. Mondial Relay in France) to handle the final mile delivery (delivery to the customer's location).
Where to find the perfect courier partner?
Logisto has compiled a directory of couriers that offer UK to Rest of the World services. Please visit the directory here in order to find the support you require.
If you are looking for couriers to support one-off parcel delivery, then there are a number of parcel comparison websites that will help you select a provider. With these websites, you will be able to tailor your search to ensure your requirements are met. To locate these recommended providers, please select ‘Parcel Comparison’ in the drop-down of the LOGISTO Directory.
If there are any queries or questions on sending parcels to the Rest of the World, then please drop the team a note. We have gone through the experience sending a single parcel as well as at massive volume for big retailers and so we will be able to support.
Thank you
