On the 12 days of Christmas what will your true love send to you? Whatever the present, international courier ParcelHero is recommending parcels are sent with care, as well as love, at this time of year.
The latest reported figures for the national postal system reveal over a million presents a week go missing in the run-up to Christmas. It’s also the time when budget carriers employ unskilled ‘man with a van’ delivery drivers, so more parcels can get damaged or delayed.
Unless you are asking Santa to deliver all your Christmas gifts this year, leading international courier ParcelHero recommends some basic precautions to ensure your parcel safely and speedily navigates the Christmas post.
As well as wrapping and labelling your parcel correctly, and choosing a courier with a high Trust Pilot rating, there are a number of other easy steps you can follow to ensure Christmas is safely delivered this year. And don’t forget, if you are sending items abroad to a non-EU country, leave time for customs clearance. If you are sending a Christmas gift, you could think about reversing any customs charges to avoid your present costing the not-so-lucky receiver money.
