Advice for packing your consignment is a tricky area. Only you will know if the packaging is sufficient for the goods you are sending. Basically if you have packaged the item in its box for sending and it rattles around when you shake the box it is not good enough. The box must be able to withstand a small fall. The reason for this is that the carrier may drop the box at any stage. However please rest assured that the greatest of care is taken with all of your packages.

Tracking the goods you ship through postagesupermarket could not be easier. Simply log into your account and go to the account overview section.

When using postagesupermarket, we strongly recommend you look at our prohibited items page. The reason being is that our carriers will only send certain goods. All goods listed as prohibited items can still be sent with us, but there will be no claim if they arrive damaged.

All couriers will bill you either on the actual weight of your parcel, or what is called the volumetric weight of the goods being sent. Basically they measure your parcel and do some basic calculations to obtain the volumetric weight of the shipment. If this is greater than the actual weight then this is what you will be billed. All the equations for each individual courier can be found on our volumetric pricing page.
