Send Clothes by Courier

Did you know that over 50% of all items shipped by courier in the United Kingdom contain items of clothing or accessories?

Overland Express have been providing services to allow our customers to ship clothes and related items since our inception in 1992.

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

We only use big brand couriers such as APC, DHL, Parcel Force and UPS to send clothing. We avoid using the so-called low-cost couriers to ship clothing, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for!

All clothing shipping services offered by Overland Express are fully tracked from collection to delivery, with a signature required by the recipient, furthermore, when you send clothing with is, it's automatically insured up to £50.00 free of charge with an option available to insure your clothing delivery up to £20,000.00 (exclusions apply).

Our enhanced insurance option for shipping clothing is clear and transparent, with a fixed rate of just 2.00% of the items value (subject to a £10.00 minimum charge).

Since the introduction of the popular clothing reselling sites such as Vinted® and Depop®, we have noticed a significant increase in the amount of retro and sought after clothing being sent through our courier services due to the enhanced insurance that we provide.

In order to use our services to send clothing items that you have sold on Vinted®, you will need to specify 'Custom Shipping' before listing the item(s) for sale. Likewise, for Depop® you will need to specify the shipping cost before you list the item for sale.

We recommend that after taking photographs of the items that you wish to sell on Vinted® or Depop®, you package the item, weigh and size it, then get a quote from our website so that you can list the items knowing exactly how much shipping and insurance will cost. Don't forget that VAT is added to the shipping and insurance costs for items of clothing sent within the UK, there is no VAT to pay on the shipping or insurance costs outside of the UK.

However, when sending items overseas, the receiver may be liable to pay local taxes and/or import duty - it is worth mentioning this to the buyer before shipping the clothing items as they may refuse to accept the delivery.

Ensure that you check local customs restrictions in the destination country to avoid sending clothing etc. that may have prohibited logos or slogans.

Our shipping service can also be used to send clothing and accessories that you have bought or sold on other platforms such as Facebook Marketplace® or eBay®.

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.
