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.
International delivery of Valentine's gifts
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.
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.
