Parcel forwarding pricing with nothing hidden
There is no subscription and no monthly fee. You pay for the shipping you use, and the figure the calculator gives you is the figure you pay.

What the shipping price does and does not include
Included in the price
- Our handling fee
- The courier charge
- Carrier surcharges
- Fuel fees
Charged separately
- Import duty in your country
- Local VAT or sales tax
- Optional services you choose yourself
Prices are worked out from the parcel measurements we take once it reaches the warehouse, so a quote given before the parcel arrives is an estimate until we weigh it.
Everything else we charge for
The account itself costs nothing. These are the only extras, and each one is something you choose.
Your US, UK and German addresses
FreeThree personal addresses with your own suite code. No subscription and no monthly charge.
Combining parcels into one shipment
£1.99Charged once per combined package. It is normally a fraction of what the separate shipments would have cost.
Returns to UK and German sellers
FreeParcels up to 31 kg and 61 × 44 × 37 cm. Personal accounts only.
Three parcels cost three base rates. One parcel costs one.
Every shipment carries a base charge before a single gram is weighed. Order from four shops and you pay it four times. Tell us to combine them and you pay it once — then we strip out the retail boxes, which is where the rest of the saving comes from.
Up to 80% off a typical multi-shop order
Six things decide what you pay
Actual weight
What the parcel weighs on the scale, box and padding included. We reweigh everything at the warehouse, so the figure you are charged is the real one.
Volumetric weight
Space costs money on a plane. Couriers take length × width × height in centimetres, divide by 5000, and charge on that or the actual weight — whichever is greater.
Where it is going
Couriers group countries into zones. Neighbouring European countries sit in the cheapest ones; Australia or Canada cost more for exactly the same box.
How fast you need it
Express services fly direct and land within days. Economy travels by road or consolidated air freight and costs noticeably less if you are not in a hurry.
Which warehouse it leaves
Our UK, US and German warehouses each have their own courier rates. For EU shoppers the German one also keeps the parcel inside the customs union.
What is inside
Insurance is priced on the declared value, and restricted goods such as liquids or batteries only travel on certain services, which narrows the options.
What a parcel costs from the UK
Cheapest available service for a 2 kg parcel, in pounds. Your own price depends on the size and the service you pick.

Pricing questions
Is there a monthly fee or a subscription?
No. The account and your three addresses are free and stay free. You are charged when you ship a parcel, and not before.
Is the price I see the price I pay?
Yes. The shipping price already contains our handling fee, the courier charge, surcharges and fuel fees. What is never in it is import duty and local tax, because your customs authority sets those, not us.
Why did the price change after my parcel arrived?
Prices are calculated from the measurements we take at the warehouse. A quote made before the parcel arrives uses the figures you gave us, so if the box turns out larger or heavier the price moves with it.
What is volumetric weight?
Couriers charge for the space a parcel occupies as well as what it weighs. Volumetric weight is length × width × height in centimetres divided by 5000. If that is higher than the actual weight, it is what you pay on — which is why a big box of light goods can cost more than a small heavy one.
How much does combining parcels save?
On a typical order from several shops, up to 80%. You pay one base rate instead of several, and removing the retail packaging cuts the volumetric weight on top of that. Combining costs £1.99 per package.
Why is your price lower than the courier website?
We buy at business volume rates and pass them on, so the same service usually costs less through us than at the courier list price.
How do I pay?
By card when you release the parcel for shipping. You see the full price and choose the service before anything is charged.
