An item becomes a parcel if it is over 1 inch/25mm thick and does not fit through the width gauge. To ensure the safe delivery of your parcel, you can either ask for 'Proof of Postage' or send Recorded (signed for) or Special (tracked & guaranteed & signed for) delivery. Make sure the address is clear and is in full - including postcode and put a return address on the outside should it prove difficult to deliver to get damaged. We will ensure the best option for any package within the UK or abroad.
