Founded in 2006, ParcelBroker is one of the original online parcel consolidation and aggregator websites. As one of the longest standing courier comparison websites we've got the benefit of years of experience in sending parcels and maintain trusted relationships with our courier partners to offer high-quality, affordable consumer and business parcel delivery services.
With a platform that's available and open for business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you can get an instant quote and book a parcel collection no matter where you're located. We offer both export and import services to over 220 countries worldwide as well as a comprehensive domestic solution for parcels being sent within the United Kingdom.
With nearly two decades in the industry we’ve seen business evolve. It's clear that consumers have come to expect either a low or free shipping charge in their shopping cart. Additionally, they expect total visibility of their order from dispatch through to delivery and a wider choice of shipping options like Saturday delivery or pick up from a local shop. Navigating the multitude of available couriers, services, rates, a ancillaries, fuel surcharges, seasonal surcharges, destination surcharges, size and weight surcharge and finally trying to reconcile the invoice is both time-consuming and expensive if you don't get it right. You and your employees should be focused on your core business and not worrying about sending parcels.
Our entire service revolves around eliminating these pain points by offering all available shipping options from a variety of international couriers in a familiar comparison style results page. The prices you see are the prices you pay (as long as you've measured and weighed your shipment accurately) and we include all static and variable ancillary charges if they apply to your shipment.
We've also seen massive changes in legislation, none more so than the United Kingdom leaving the single market of the European Union which introduced the burden of customs clearance and additional duties and taxes. The ParcelBroker platform has proven itself again and again by adjusting and pivoting to keep on top of legislative changes and tracking service availability (which was especially volatile during the global Covid-19 pandemic). We don't expect our customers to be adept in all aspects of logistics and we’re proud to be helping companies succeed by becoming their shipping experts - just read a few of these testimonials from happy customers.
Whether you’re selling on your own website, eBay, Etsy, Amazon, WordPress or any other digital platform, we have a solution to help.
It is a common practice to discount prices in most industry sectors when buying in volume. The same is to be said of the courier industry. We consolidate several thousand customers and direct our customers parcels through a single account with the courier.
In addition to receiving discounts for this consolidated volume, ParcelBroker reduces the workload the couriers have to deal with by providing customer services and account management to our own customers. Add to this the reduction in back office functions like invoicing, along with mitigation of some financial risks and burdens from non-payment and claims for loss and damage and it becomes clearer how we can command such competitive rates.
These discounts are then passed onto you (with a small brokerage fee) but with no minimum volume required. The resulting discounts are anywhere between 40-80% off of the couriers published tariffs.
As we aren't tied to using just one courier, we can offer a wide selection of household name couriers to choose from, this giving you the widest possible choice at the lowest possible cost.
Remember, as more customers join ParcelBroker our rates will only get lower, so the more people you tell the more money we can save you.
Here’s what we strive to provide to all our customers:
We also automatically enrol all customers into our free loyalty program. You'll collect ParcelPoints on every shipment, and can use them to save a little extra the next time you send a package through us. Just one more reason why ParcelBroker is always the best choice for your shipping needs.
