What Are International Courier Services?
International courier services are premium parcel delivery solutions that move shipments across borders quickly, securely and with full end-to-end visibility. Unlike standard postal services, international couriers use dedicated carrier networks, priority handling and specialist customs teams to ensure parcels arrive on time — every time.
For UK ecommerce businesses, international courier services are essential for competing in global markets. Customers in the USA, Europe, Australia and beyond expect the same fast, trackable delivery experience they get domestically. Parcels2Send makes that possible at a price point that works for growing businesses.
We work with the world's leading carriers — DHL Express, FedEx International, UPS Worldwide and Royal Mail International — and negotiate volume rates that individual businesses can't access directly. You get premium carrier performance at competitive prices, with a single point of contact managing everything.

Common questions about our international courier services for UK businesses.
What is the difference between international courier and standard international shipping?
International courier services use premium carrier networks (DHL, FedEx, UPS) with full tracking, faster transit times, and dedicated customs handling. Standard international shipping is typically slower, with less tracking visibility and limited customs support. For ecommerce businesses, courier services reduce failed deliveries and customer complaints significantly.
Which countries do your international courier services cover?
We deliver to 195+ countries worldwide. Popular destinations include the USA, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Netherlands, UAE, Singapore, Japan and all EU member states. Contact us if you have a specific destination requirement — we can source specialist services for remote or restricted locations.
How do you handle customs for international parcels?
Our team prepares all required customs documentation including commercial invoices, CN22/CN23 customs declarations, and EORI registration support. We advise on HS commodity codes, applicable duties and import taxes (including EU VAT/IOSS), and ensure all paperwork meets destination country requirements to avoid delays.
What are your international courier rates?
Rates depend on parcel weight, dimensions, destination country and your monthly volume. We offer banded pricing — the more you ship, the lower your per-parcel cost. Request a free quote and we'll provide a full rate card tailored to your shipment profile within 24 hours.
Can I track my international parcels in real time?
Yes. Every shipment booked through Parcels2Send receives a tracking number that provides real-time updates from collection through to final delivery. Tracking data can be shared directly with your customers via your ecommerce platform.
Do you offer international courier services for ecommerce businesses?
Absolutely. We specialise in international courier services for UK ecommerce businesses selling on Shopify, Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop and WooCommerce. We integrate directly with your store to automate label generation, customs documentation and carrier selection — saving you hours every week.

All shipments include carrier liability cover as standard. We also offer enhanced parcel protection for higher-value goods. In the event of a loss or damage claim, our team manages the entire process with the carrier on your behalf.
