Heavy parcel shipping and delivery abroad
Want to send a heavy parcel abroad? With parcel post (PostNL and bpost) you can send up to 30 kg. That's why ParcelParcel works only with express carriers such as FedEx, DHL and DPD, so you can easily send a heavy parcel over 30 kg. The maximum dimensions and weight for express shipments are much higher, so you can quickly send heavy parcels to more than 220 countries worldwide.
Your shipment is collected free of charge from a location of your choice, is easier to track and arrives at its destination faster. Want to know more about the difference between post and express? Read our blog on postal and courier services (in Dutch).
