Does royal mail delivery big parcels
Royal Mail, the UK's national postal service, does offer delivery services for larger parcels, but there are some limitations and considerations to keep in mind.
Here are some general guidelines:
- Maximum parcel size: Royal Mail's standard parcel size limit is 61 cm (24 inches) in length, 46 cm (18 inches) in width, and 46 cm (18 inches) in height. For larger items, you may need to use a specialized service, such as their Large Parcel service (see below).
- Large Parcel service: Royal Mail's Large Parcel service is designed for parcels that exceed their standard size limits. This service is available for parcels up to 2 meters (6.6 feet) in length, 1 meter (3.3 feet) in width, and 1 meter (3.3 feet) in height. The maximum weight is 30 kg (66 lbs).
- Specialist services: For even larger or heavier items, Royal Mail offers specialist services, such as:
- Palletline: For palletized goods up to 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in length, 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) in width, and 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) in height, with a maximum weight of 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs).
- Freight: For larger or heavier items that require a dedicated vehicle, such as refrigerated or oversized goods.
- Delivery areas: Royal Mail's Large Parcel service and specialist services are available for delivery to most UK addresses, but some rural areas may have limited or no coverage.
- Cost and transit times: The cost and transit times for larger parcels will vary depending on the service chosen, the parcel's weight and dimensions, and the destination. In general, larger parcels may take longer to deliver and may be more expensive than smaller parcels.
To determine the best delivery option for your large parcel, I recommend visiting Royal Mail's website or contacting their customer service team for more information and guidance.
