Located in the west of the Iberian Peninsula and on the Atlantic coast, Portugal combines stunning scenery and warm weather with a rich culture and history. This combination makes the nation of 10 million people a strong draw for British holidaymakers and expats.
Much of the shipping from the UK to Portugal is down to the large number of British people who enjoy Portugal as a holiday destination or call it home – be it in the form of possessions being sent to new homes, gifts from family members or British food stocked by Portuguese supermarkets.
Whether you’re a family relocating to the Algarve, or a business owner with strong links in Porto, ParcelBroker will help you ship pallets to Portugal with ease and at a low price.

How to prepare the pallet for shipping to Portugal?
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.

Portugal FAQs
Do I need to deal with customs when shipping a pallet from the UK to Portugal?
Portugal and the UK are both EU member states and as such benefit from the European Single Market. This means goods sent between the two countries can pass through quickly and without tariffs. The UK’s upcoming exit from the EU may affect the customs arrangements with Portugal, so ParcelBroker will keep you abreast of any changes.
Can I send an engine or gearbox to Portugal?
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?
Our couriers offer business-day collections and deliveries, but not weekend collections.
