Sending Valentines Gifts

February 14th is considered the most romantic day of the year, and the perfect time to show your loved one that you are thinking of them. Our Valentine's delivery services are the perfect choice to ensure your gifts arrive in perfect condition.

Whether sending Valentine's day cards, jewellery or perfume, take a look at our great prices by entering your details above.

Sending jewellery for Valentines

Jewellery is the perfect gift when you cannot be with your loved one, from charm bracelets to necklaces, to share memories of special occasions. There are many online marketplaces, such as Etsy, that have beautiful hand crafted pieces, that they will treasure for years. We also have our own insurance that offers full cover in transit against loss or damage.

Sending perfume for Valentine's day within the UK

We are one of the few companies that offer delivery of perfume, as it is prohibited with most carriers. Delivery is the next working day throughout the UK and can be collected from your home or work, in addition to various drop off options. Due to restrictions, we cannot send perfume outside of the UK mainland. They also must be shipped from our perfume page which can be located here.

Sending a Valentine's day hamper

Why not put together a beautiful hamper for your Valentine? You can pack the hamper full of their favourite sweets, chocolate's and other treats, just ensure that they are in sealed packs and are not perishable. Also check the use by dates. If you are sending these overseas, please check with local Customs that the products are allowed into the Country and do not have import restrictions.

Sending a Valentines gift abroad is fast and secure, so you can show them that you are thinking of them, even though you cannot be there.

We deliver to over 220 Countries and our quick quote tool above will find you the perfect service to match your time frame and budget. All of our services are fully tracked, door to door.

Do couriers deliver on Valentine's day?

As Valentine's day is not classed as a public holiday in any Country, deliveries are carried out on the 14 February, unless it falls on a weekend.

Sending wine and spirits for Valentine's day

We offer next working day delivery of wines, champagnes and spirits within the UK and also Worldwide delivery, subject to restrictions in the receiving Country. Please check with local Customs that they allow the import of alcohol, prior to sending. Please use our liquid shipping service for any drinks (alcoholic or otherwise), which can be found here.

Sending underwear for Valentine's

Underwear is the perfect gift for your Valentine and who doesn't appreciate carefully chosen beautiful lingerie?

In addition, as lingerie is very light, the shipping charges will be minimal, so allowing you to spend more on the perfect gift!

Items that are restricted from Valentine's day shipping

We cannot send fresh flowers with any of the carriers, due to their perishable nature. So rather than your Valentine being left without a gift, we would suggest using a service such as Interflora or a local florist for fresh flowers.

Likewise with foods, these are perishable items that cannot be sent via courier, the only exception being chocolates, or items in sealed packs. Please check the use by date before sending.

Packing Valentine's day gifts for shipping

Before sending your gift to someone special, please take some time to pack them carefully, as there is nothing worse than receiving a damaged item.

Place 2-3 layers of bubble wrap into the base of an unused cardboard box and wrap any fragile items in several layers of bubble wrap, before placing them into the box. Double walled boxes offer the highest level of protection.

Fill any gaps or voids with additional bubble wrap, crumpled up newspaper, or foam packaging peanuts. If sending picture frames, add some corner protectors made from bubble wrap.

Shake the box around, to check for any movement and add additional packaging material where needed.

Once you are happy with the packaging, tape the box securely shut with 2-3 layers of strong parcel tape, with additional tape applied to any seams. Do not use Sellotape.

Finally, print off and attach your parcel label.

Helping Feline ship their stuff

Feline Guitars have been using this small company for a number of years and always had great service and competitive pricing. We had previously used UPS directly till it got to be hard work to communicate with them. The personal attention and help that you can get in an industry that is increasingly automated and hands-off is a welcome thing to have.

Southwell Guitars Recommend…

Southwell Guitars have been using Overland Express for some years now for sending our guitars worldwide. Most major courier companies do not insure musical instruments but Overland Express have an insurance service that specialise in musical instrument insurance, giving my customers and me peace of mind. I also like that Stuart and Tim are always easy to contact if there are any questions or If I need any help. This was especially helpful after the chaos created by Brexit and the Covid pandemic. Overland Express are my first choice when I am sending guitars, something I do on a regular basis and recommend them to anyone.

Highly recommended personal service

I've been using Overland Express now for a number of years. As I send a good number of both electric and acoustic guitars every year, I wanted to find a company that offered reasonable shipping and insurance rates that guaranteed to cover guitars against loss or damage to their true value. Step forward Stuart and Overland Express. They offer top couriers and reasonable insurance costs to send guitars worldwide. In all the time I've used them I've never once had an issue. Service is quick, reliable and it is a real bonus you are able to contact someone quickly who will deal with issues should any arise. Highly recommended.
