  • actual weight and dimensions (express couriers calculate the volume weight = length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm) / 6000 (equal to volume weight in kg))
  • urgency (express vs. economy)
  • destination (London and big cities often have more options)
  • value/goods (may affect controls, documents and time)

Delivery time for sending a parcel to England

On average:

  • Express48-72 hours (on many routes)
  • Standard/Economy4-6 working days
    Customs procedures can add time: to reduce risks, fill in the documents well and always include recipient's telephone + email.
