How to prepare the pallet for shipping to France?

Ensure that your goods do not overhang the edge of the pallet base. This can lead to damage which will not be covered, as well as additional charges for more delivery space.
Palletised goods must be made fast with shrink wrapping, ratchet straps, rope or banding. The pallet may be re-loaded up to 8 times during delivery, and must be stable; take care to avoid packing a top-heavy pallet.
Ensure that your goods are given sufficient protection against damage by wrapping them in bubble wrap, cardboard, polystyrene, or other packaging materials.
Pallets may be stacked to maximise usage of space in delivery vehicles. If this is not appropriate for your goods, ensure that this information is displayed on the outside of the pallet.
Engine parts and gearboxes must be shipped through our dedicated delivery service - call us on 0871 288 5741 for a quote.

France FAQs

Do I need to deal with customs when shipping a pallet from the UK to France?

The free trade agreement that is in place between EU nations means there are no customs difficulties that must be negotiated when shipping a pallet from the UK to France. The UK’s impending exit from the EU could change this, but ParcelBroker is working hard to keep you informed of any changes that may arise.


Can I send an engine or gearbox to France?

Yes, but only on a special service dedicated for these types of goods. These goods cannot be shipped via the pallet services displayed on our website. To get a quote, please contact our team on 0871 288 5741 or email us via the contact page on our website.


Can you order a pallet delivery to be collected at the weekend?
