Shipping costs are calculated based on dimensions (LxWxH in cm), weight (in kg), and the destination country. Both the actual weight (as shown on the scale) and the volumetric weight are considered.

The volumetric weight is the weight calculated based on the space your shipment occupies in the plane. The higher of the two weights (volumetric or actual weight) is used to calculate the shipping rate. You don't need to calculate this yourself; our calculator does it for you.

Whether additional costs apply depends on whether your shipment stays within the European Union or is sent to/from a country outside the European Union. Below, you can see the additional costs for each situation.

Within the European Union
If, for example, you send a shipment from the Netherlands to Italy (within the EU), there will be an additional 21% VAT on the shipping costs.

Furthermore, if your shipment stays within the European Union, you won't have to deal with any import duties or customs clearance fees because your shipment doesn't go through customs. Please note that the European Union is not the same as Europe.

View here all the countries that are part of the European Union. For example, Switzerland is part of Europe but not part of the European Union.

Outside the European Union
If, for example, you send a shipment from the Netherlands to the United States, there will be no VAT (0%) applied to the displayed shipping rates.

However, there might be import duties levied by customs in the destination country if you send a shipment to/from a country outside the European Union. Typically, customs costs are charged to the recipient. This is known as Delivered At Place (DAP) in logistics terminology.

Customs is a government agency that levies import duties in certain cases to protect the local market. As a company, you can also ship using Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), which means any customs costs will be charged to you as the sender.

A customs invoice is a form where all the goods you want to ship are specified. This invoice includes an English description of the goods, along with their corresponding value and weight.

The contents of your shipment must be specified per type of product you're sending to avoid delays at customs. A customs invoice is always prepared in quadruplicate in accordance with customs guidelines.

When is a customs invoice required?
A customs invoice is only required for shipments to/from countries outside the European Union (e.g., Netherlands - United States). If your shipment stays within the European Union (e.g., Netherlands - Italy), your shipment will not go through customs, and therefore, a customs invoice is not required.

Additionally, document shipments are not subject to customs, so if you're sending a document to a country within/outside the European Union, no customs invoice is needed.

Please note that not all goods can be shipped to every country. You can find a list of goods that cannot be sent via ParcelParcel on this page.

Do I need to create a customs invoice myself?
If you're sending a shipment to/from a country outside the European Union, it's mandatory to include a customs invoice with the shipment. We provide free support in creating a customs invoice.

You can easily generate a customs invoice through our shipping platform. The customs invoice will be automatically generated based on the content you specified during your booking.

Yes, we act as a logistics intermediary, enabling us to obtain high discounted rates from the carriers. We pass these savings on to you, allowing you to ship worldwide at a cost-effective price.

In short, you benefit from our shipping rates. In nearly all cases, you will save much more by using ParcelParcel for shipping than going directly through the carrier.

For example, let's say you want to send a shipment to the United States and contact the carriers (e.g., FedEx, DHL, or TNT) directly for shipping rates. Based on the volume of your shipments, you may receive a certain discount on the shipping rate (volume discount). If you are sending only one shipment, the discount rate would be limited.

As ParcelParcel, we are a major customer of the carriers, sending thousands of shipments as an intermediary. By choosing ParcelParcel, you can save up to 70% on your shipping costs as you benefit from our discounted rates. Quite straightforward, isn't it?

You can insure your package for 1.0% of the total value with minimum administrative costs of €19.50.

For example, if the contents of your shipment are valued at €700, the insurance administrative costs would be €19.50. So, 1% of €700 is €7, but the minimum administrative costs for insurance are €19.50.

Therefore, we charge €19.50 administrative costs for insurance. You can use our rate calculator to indicate if you want to opt for insurance.

You insure your shipment against damage, theft, and loss. We also recommend reading this article about the 5 essential points to consider when choosing insurance.

Use a suitable box
To send your package safely, it's important to choose a box that fits the dimensions of your package's contents. Keep in mind that smaller packaging can be relatively cheaper.

Take pictures of the inside and outside packaging (insured shipments)
To be able to prove that your package is properly packed in case of damage or loss, we recommend taking pictures during the packing process. Take pictures of at least the inside and outside packaging, showing the product you want to send. This tip only applies if you choose to insure your package.

Fill all empty spaces
Fill the package with, for example, bubble wrap, packing paper, or old newspapers. Make sure the contents of the package cannot shift during transport. This prevents damage to your package.

Seal the package properly
Seal the package with strong tape. We recommend using packaging tape, but duct tape can also be used. Make sure the box is properly sealed so it cannot open during transport.

Label the package correctly
Make sure the delivery address is clearly visible and complete. Preferably, put a label with the delivery address on different sides of the package. This ensures the address is always visible, even if the package is placed upside down during transport.

Remove old labels or stickers
If you are reusing a box, make sure to remove any old labels or stickers. This prevents confusion about the destination of your package.

Choose the right shipping method
Choose a shipping method that matches the fragility of your package's contents. For example, choose extra secure packaging if you're sending fragile items.

Choose additional insurance if needed
If the contents of your package are valuable, you can choose additional insurance for extra peace of mind. Keep in mind that insured shipments require photos of the inside and outside packaging as proof of proper packing.
