Until now, if you’ve been shipping to different cross-border markets, you’ll have probably dealt with multiple carriers, each requiring its own paperwork. Parcel Connect simplifies and streamlines this time-consuming, complicated process.
Now you’ll only need one label and one set of paperwork for shipping to any of the 28 European markets in our network. And you can easily manage parcel delivery via eConnect.

Because one size doesn't always fit all, we offer flexible shipment sizes. You can send packages up to 31.5kg and 120cm x 60cm x 60cm as standard. And if that's not big enough, there's a bulky feature. Still not big enough? No worries, larger items can be shipped with Parcel Connect Plus.
