subject: Shipping To Mainland Europe Not Nearly As Difficult As It Would Seem [print this page] Sending parcels abroad can be something that puts us on edge, the uncertainty of how safe our parcel will be once it leaves our hands at the post office has been exacerbated by recent delays caused by postal strikes and even transport delays due to the ash cloud a few months ago. If we have important business parcels to send then it becomes a serious concern whether our parcels arrive on time, if they even arrive at all!
Despite all this there are safer options for when sending parcels to Europe whether it is our neighbours France or deeper into the continent to places such as Slovakia. You may think that sending a parcel to somewhere like Slovakia might as well be on the far side of the moon when it comes to the time and especially the cost that some international parcel can be charged for. Fortunately there is a quicker way to send your parcels and they can be a much more cost effective solution when you need to send a parcel to Europe.
Courier companies have their own depots and armies of delivery vehicles all ready to handle any parcel delivery with ease, as they are independent from the regular mail services they arent going to suffer the same problems that a regular delivery would. Obviously the ash cloud situation is hard to prepare for but couriers still have freight trucks which were able to cross the channel without an airplane.
Many businesses will be experienced with sending parcels and consignments via a courier as they often have business accounts that can be the more cost effective solution but for individuals this may have meant large costs for one off deliveries to friends and family living in mainland Europe. Fortunately these days more and more individuals are sending parcels on a semi regular basis with online auctions sites like eBay and the ease of creating your own shop online means a lot of smaller home businesses now need a service that can help further their operations.
A courier service is now much more affordable and with all the detailed and extensive features that come with your order such as frequently updated tracking information, more convenient delivery times and being able to have the courier come to your home or workplace to collect your parcel.
For the best in international deliveries to mainland Europe make sure you pick a dedicated parcel delivery service to ensure a safe delivery.
