Large Item Delivery Simplified

hipping large or heavy items doesn't have to be complicated. Thanks to Pallet2ship's specialised delivery options, moving bulky items is now more seamless than ever. We work with trusted delivery companies and international courier services, ensuring safe and hassle-free shipping.

The most crucial step for shipping large items is proper packing. Remember, the safety of your cargo depends not only on the reliability of the courier but also on how well it is prepared for transit. For oversized and heavyweight items, packing becomes even more critical. We always recommend using high-quality materials like heavy-duty cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, and secure tape to protect your items during transit.

Delivery Options for Large Parcels

There are two key methods for shipping large items with Pallet2ship.

• Parcels:

  For large parcel delivery, dimensions exceeding 120cm in length or 30kg in weight are considered oversized. If your shipment weighs up to 50kg, our parcel delivery services are an excellent choice. It's essential to accurately measure and input the dimensions and weight of your consignment during booking to receive an instant quote.
  When preparing your large parcel for shipping, ensure it is securely packed with protective materials to avoid movement during transit. Adding banding around the box for heavier parcels offers an added layer of security.

• Pallets:

  For items exceeding 50kg or measuring beyond standard parcel dimensions, pallet services provide the best solution. This option is ideal for larger shipments or bulky items, offering an added layer of stability and safety during transport.
  Pallets come in two standard sizes:
  

  • Standard pallet: 120cm x 100cm
  • Euro pallet: 120cm x 80cm

• For large item delivery via pallets, our weight limit is typically 750kg, and lengths can go beyond 210cm if a forklift is available at collection and delivery points. Pallets reduce manual handling, minimising the risk of damage to your shipment compared to parcel services.

Cost-Effective Solutions for Bulky Item Deliveries

If you're searching for the cheapest way to ship large and heavy items, our pallet service is the answer. Especially for international shipments, we offer two options through leading international courier services:

• Sea Freight: The more affordable option for transporting bulk or oversized items over long distances.
• Air Freight: Faster but slightly more costly, ideal for urgent shipping needs.

While parcels are subject to more manual handling, pallets benefit from being transported with forklifts and pump trucks, ensuring a safer transit process for bulky items.
