Things To Remember When Shipping Large Or Heavy Items

1. Be accurate.

Sending larger and heavier items will be inevitably more costly, so the last thing you want is to face any unpleasant extra charges. That’s why it’s so important to be as accurate as possible when booking your large parcel deliver with the courier. If the item is even slightly over-sized or overweight than what you originally described, you may face these charges or the courier could return the package back to the sender.

2. Secure packaging.

As with an item of any size, it’s important to consider the many stages of transit that the item will go through on its journey to the destination. The reality is that the item will be sorted by machines, before being transported alongside dozens of other packages.


3. Online tracking.

 At WPSs we are able to offer free parcel tracking services for all of our worldwide parcel deliveries. Just remember to keep hold of the emails that we send you once you have completed your order. On the email you will be able to see a parcel invoice number. Simply enter your invoice number into the reference box on our Parcel Tracking page.

This will allow you to track every step of the parcel delivery using our worldwide couriers. From its history, to its current location and the estimated time of delivery are all available with our parcel tracking tool. The parcel tracking tool is located at the top of every page on the website making it simple and easy to use.


4. Courier restrictions.

Whether or not you can send a large or heavy item will of course depend on the courier that you choose. Some couriers may have size and weight restrictions set in place for particular services, so it’s highly important to do some research on this to be sure you’re booking your shipment correctly.


5. Door to door services.
