How Can I Send a Parcel to Germany from the UK? Years back, sending parcels from one country to another might have seemed to be a difficult task. But now, this task has become much easier. These days, shipping goods between countries has become a profitable business, and therefore, many service providers are involved in it. A lot of services are available for shipping items from one place to another, even if they are located at opposite corners of the earth. While shipping goods from the UK to Germany, one does not have to worry about customs documentation. This is because both Germany and the UK are currently members of the European Union. The “Freedom of Trade” Act will apply to the shipping of parcels from the UK to Germany. Therefore, no customs duties will be charged on imports. However, this scenario might change completely if the UK exits from the European Union. The parcel services in the UK were initially taken up by the Royal Mail Group, which was established in 1516. It was founded as one of the departments of the English government. The Postal Services Act in the UK allowed the government to privatize Royal Mail. In addition to its usual services, the Royal Mail also does special delivery, which guarantees delivery of parcels by 9.00 AM the next working day. The Worldwide Parcel Services (WPS) offers a comparison of the parcel services to Germany. You can obtain a quote from WPS when you send parcels from the UK to Germany. Apart from the Royal Mail, other private delivery services are also available in the UK. DHL, DPD, and EasyDrop are a few of those services. DPD can deliver parcels in 2 working days. With DPD, you can book a courier to come and collect your goods. Or else, you can drop off the items at a DPD Pickup shop. Both Express and Economy options are available in DPD and you can track your parcels in real-time. Parcelforce Worldwide is one of the UK’s courier and logistics services. The Royal Mail is the parent organization of Parcelforce. DHL is one of the world’s leading postal and logistics groups. It offers secure parcel delivery to Germany. You can send your huge parcels to Munich or your company/business documents to Berlin quickly using DHL’s services. With DHL Service Point, the prices will vary depending on the size of the box or free envelope that you select. When you are sending a parcel from the United Kingdom to Germany, you can consult some price comparison sites so that you can zero in on the cheapest service. Whatever parcel service you choose, you will have to provide details regarding the size and weight of your parcel. The parcel service might also get the details regarding your parcel’s length, width, and height. Basically, the volume and the weight of the parcel will be considered.
