We are the cheapest way to ship a parcel to Europe, but do not confuse cheap with cheap. What do we mean by this? We only offer premium services like DHL European delivery, UPS parcel delivery to Europe and DPD European shipping. We do not use budget courier services to Europe as experience has taught us that these European delivery services invariably lead to customer disappointment, all for the sake of a couple of pounds.
You might wonder how we are able to offer these European parcel delivery services cheaper than what DHL, UPS and DPD can offer them directly? Well, that is an easy question to answer, our buying power allows us to purchase these European deliveries at a hugely discounted rate.
Not only that, but these companies do not offer competitive rates to the general public, as they would rather deal with volume purchasers of their services as opposed to one off buyers. Which means that by using Overland Express you can vastly reduce the cost of shipping to Europe.
When you send parcels to Europe, a cardboard box must be used for the outer packaging due to COVID-19 handling restrictions.
The majority of parcel deliveries to Europe can also be insured up to £20,000.00 (exclusions apply) for the nominal price of just 2.00% of the declared value. All of our delivery services to Europe are fully tracked, door to door.
We also offer deliveries from Europe to the United Kingdom, to find out the cost of sending a parcel to Europe or shipping a parcel from Europe to the United Kingdom, use our quote tool above to see our cheap European delivery services.
Since the United Kingdom left the European Union (EU) a commercial invoice is required for all parcels sent from the UK to Europe, and likewise for parcel deliveries from Europe to the UK, however, the good news is that we seamlessly produce this paperwork for you.
Our partner courier's European shipping services are second to none, with many areas benefiting from next day European delivery, the further afield European delivery destinations usually take a day or so longer.

Don't just take our word for it, see what other people are saying about us on Trustpilot.
I send my work worldwide on a regular basis and I now use Overland Express for all my shipping. It is great to get such a personal service, they are always quick to answer emails and you even get to talk to a real person on the phone, who knows what they are doing. It is also good to know the insurance they offer really works as the insurance offered by most of the big companies have so many restrictions and exemptions. I have used Overland Express many times and I am very happy with their service and would recommend them to anyone.

I have used Overland Express for 2 years now. I use them to ship bass guitars which are a very large item and have found that they offer the best prices and a good choice of options.
But you only find out how good a company is when things go wrong. Recently there was an issue with a return to a shop, they had the item but due to a mix up within the shop the parcel was never booked in.
I would like to thank the guys at OE for the work you guys put in to help resolve this issue. With some shippers you can`t even speak to a real person never mind get someone to help you with a problem so having someone who you can e mail or speak to on the phone, helped resolve the issue with the shop.

Needed to send my late husband's guitar plus accessories to a family member.
I've never used a carrier other than Royal Mail before and was a bit nervous. (The parcel was too large for Royal Mail and I'd been warned against using a certain other carrier.)
The Overland Express website gave very helpful advice on how to prepare the guitar and protect it for transit.
I found the firm's customer service to be excellent. I was worried because online tracking informed me that only one parcel had been delivered. I phoned and got an answer straight away. Tom (I think) checked online for me and was very reassuring.
The second parcel was indeed delivered later in the day.

Some of our competitors supply budget services at a fraction of the cost cheaper than our premium services, budget services can take up to 5 days to deliver vs overnight for our services, which means your customers are more likely to return, all for the sake of a couple of pounds.
The only information that we require to provide a quotation are the sender's and recipient's postcode along with the dimensions of the parcel. We don't ask for your email address at this early stage as we have no intention of sending follow up emails should you leave before completing the booking.
UPS, DHL, DPD, Parcel Force, APC, FedEx to name but a few courier providers that we have a working relationship with. These providers do fluctuate depending on what offers they can provide us with and the level of satisfaction that our customers have received from these parcel delivery companies.
The whereabouts of your parcel delivery can be instantly tracked by entering the tracking number into our courier partners web-site (links can be found on this site). The status is usually updated at every significant stage, which will allow you clearly see when the parcel has reached its final destination.
High value items are always risky to send by courier, some providers will not even accept such items let alone insure them. We offer both, we can ship expensive items worldwide and provide insurance up to £20,000.00 (exclusions apply) for just 2.00% of the items declared value.
Our UK call centre based customer support team are available to take your telephone call or answer your email questions on working days between 0830hrs and 1730hrs UK time. We also have a live chat facility on this web-site which is available at the same times as the call centre.
