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.
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.
