Options for shipping large items by parcel domestically or abroad
How to ship large and heavy items by parcel domestically or abroad?
- Start with packaging the items that you want to ship (see our guides for packaging different kinds of items)
- Weigh you packaged parcel and measure its dimensions;
- Enter the weight and dimensions of your packaged parcel into our special tool here below to determine what shipping service fits you the best;
- Book and pay for the service;
- If applicable, print out the shipping labels and/or customs documents and stick them to your parcel.
If you have several large and heavy parcels and you will ship them on a pallet, we suggest you follow the next steps:
- Place some liner paper on the pallet and put all your large and heavy boxes on it;
- Place heavier boxes on the bottom;
- Add liner paper directly between each layer, to decrease friction and spread the weight evenly;
- Fix the shipment to the pallet with straps and secure it with stretch foil or bubble wrap.
Should you have any questions about shipping smaller parcels by courier or about large and heavy parcel delivery services or multi-parcel deliveries, feel free to contact us. We will be more than glad to help you!

Will the shipment of my large parcel be insured?
With Eurosender, all your risks will be covered. The amount of standard insurance depends on the type of courier service selected for shipping your large and heavy parcel, whether domestically or overseas. You may also choose an additional insurance option with higher coverage. Make sure to keep the original invoice for the items you send as proof of your parcels’ value.
I have many packages to send. What is the best shipping option for me?
It depends on how many packages you plan to send. If you have only a few, Eurosender offers you a multi-parcel delivery service or a pallet shipment for which you can get an instant quote in the booking tool!
What happens if my parcels are heavier than I thought?
Additional charges will most likely apply to shipments which exceed the dimensions, weight or number of parcels stated in the ordering process. You can:
- Pay an additional surcharge if the shipment does not exceed the maximum weight or size allowed by the selected carrier, who will then collect and deliver the shipment;
- Pay an additional surcharge for overweight or oversized shipments, if they exceed the maximum weight or size, allowed by the selected service provider. Alternatively, the selected courier company may choose to refuse to collect the shipment and not charge any additional fee.
If you inform us by 12pm one business day prior to collection, we will be able to make the necessary adjustments and inform the courier, so collection can still take place.
If you are unable to inform us prior to collection, please be aware that the courier may refuse to collect or return your parcel and insurance does not apply to shipments which exceed the stated amount.
I need to ship more parcels than booked. What can I do?
If you need to send more items than ordered, please inform our logistics experts no later than 12pm of the business day prior to collection in order to apply the changes and collection can still take place on the scheduled day.
