Send Board Games, Books and Jigsaw Puzzles

It has been requested by some of our clients that we offer a service to post new or used board games, books and jigsaw puzzles to family members of friends.

You can use this service to send board games, books or jigsaw puzzles to family or friends to keep them occupied if they are unable to leave their house. These are not restricted items, therefore, you can send jigsaw puzzles, board games and books anywhere in the world.

This service is not just about board games, you may also send collectable figures and other such items.

As we only partner with industry leaders, when you send jigsaw puzzles, books and board games, they are insured against going missing or becoming damaged whilst in transit (exclusions apply).

A cardboard box must be used for the outer packaging due to COVID-19 handling restrictions.

We find that someone would generally use our courier for jigsaw puzzles, books and board games service when they have no further use for them and wish to donate them to family or friends.

Have a look at our 'Send a Parcel' tool, located above to see how much you can save when you send a board game or jigsaw puzzle with us.

Just ensure that before sending your board games or jigsaw puzzle that they are packaged correctly to prevent the boxes opening whilst in transit.

Our Reviews

Don't just take our word for it, see what other people are saying about us.

Feline Guitars has partnered with this small company for several years and consistently received excellent service and competitive pricing. Before that, we dealt directly with UPS, but found communication increasingly difficult. In an industry that's becoming more automated and impersonal, the personal attention and support offered by this team is both refreshing and greatly appreciated.

Southwell Guitars has been using Overland Express for several years to ship our instruments around the world. Unlike most major courier companies, which typically don't insure musical instruments, Overland Express offers a specialist insurance service tailored specifically for them—providing peace of mind for both my customers and myself. I also appreciate how accessible Stuart and Tim are—they're always easy to reach if I have questions or need assistance. Their support was especially valuable during the disruption caused by Brexit and the COVID pandemic. Overland Express is my go-to courier for shipping guitars, something I do regularly, and I recommend their services without hesitation.

I've been using Overland Express for several years now to ship a significant number of both electric and acoustic guitars annually. I needed a shipping company that not only offered competitive rates but also provided insurance that would genuinely cover the full value of the instruments in the event of loss or damage. That's exactly what I found with Stuart and the team at Overland Express. They work with top-tier couriers and offer affordable insurance options for worldwide guitar shipping. In all the years I've used their service, I haven't encountered a single issue. Their service is fast, dependable, and it's a real advantage to have easy access to someone who can promptly assist if anything does come up. Highly recommended.
