You do not need an account to send a parcel with Shipping One. All of our services available on this site are intended for customers who don’t have an account.

There is lots to consider when sending a parcel outside the European Union. For example, you will need to produce paperwork for customs clearance, declare the value of each item and explain why you’re sending it. Customs will then review your declaration and may apply customs import duty and tax charges. These charges are usually paid by the receiver.

 

If you’re shipping gifts or sending personal effects then they may be exempt from customs import charges. This will depend on the value of the items, and the regulations for that particular country.

 

The following information will explain everything you need to know about customs and what to consider when sending a worldwide parcel delivery.

 

The Customs Clearance Process

 

Shipping ONE helps you produce all the customs forms you will need when shipping outside the EU, and unlike a freight forwarder, all our courier services include customs clearance.

 

Customs will decide if any duties and tax charges should be applied, and if so the customs fees will need to be paid by the receiver, along with any admin charges applied by the courier before delivery can be made. Obtaining payment can sometimes delay the delivery process.

 

Here’s a quick summary of what happens when you ship outside the EU:

 

As part of your booking process, we will ask you to declare what you are shipping and why.

 

Shipping ONE will then provide the required customs paperwork for you to print out.

 

When your shipment arrives at the destination country, the carrier will arrange the customs clearance, and customs will assess your declaration to determine the amount of import duty that should be applied to your shipment. These charges will as a norm, be billed to the receiver.

 

The receiver will be contacted and asked to pay any charges. They will also be provided with a copy of your customs declaration as reference.

 

If you would prefer to pay these customs charges yourself, we can arrange this. This is a popular option when sending gifts. There is an additional charge for this and a deposit is required.

 

Once any charges have been paid, your parcel will exit customs and be delivered.

 

Import Duty, Tax And Other Charges

 

We understand when a parcel goes missing, it can be an extremely stressful and worrying time. The good news is most lost parcels are found; We will do everything in our power to find your parcel, however it can potentially take up to 10 working days and sometimes more to locate.

 

One of the most common reasons for a parcel to be lost is if the label has become detached or damaged. If there is no way to identify where the parcel came from or is headed to it will go to lost property. The carrier then needs to first find the lost box, then physically match your contents description to the contents of each lost box. As you can imagine this is a painstaking task and one that often takes time.

 

In order to locate your parcel we’re going to need you to provide a detailed description of the contents, and any unique identifying marks on the box, this information is then sent to all the depots your parcel travelled through.

 

How to raise a lost parcel investigation

 

If your tracking information does not show any scans or you stopped seeing scans after 2-4 days your parcel may be lost.

 

If your item is lost, you must contact us within 30 days of the collection date.

• Any serial numbers or identifying numbers of the contents of the parcel.

Preventing a parcel from going missing

Always place a spare shipping label inside each box. Our website prints this label automatically for you.

 

Use a documents enclosed pouch to affix the label as sometimes sellotape can catch on the carrier conveyor belts and the label can become dislodged and fall off.

If your service requires a label, it should be ready within 60 minutes of paying for your shipment.

 

Remember, not all services need a label, but if you think you’re label hasn’t been generated contact us using the button below.

You should calculate dimensional weight on every shipment, and compare that to its actual weight, and use the greater of the two to determine your shipping cost. Volumetric weight for international shipments is calculated using the formulae below.

 

Height x Length x Width in cm divided by 5000

 

When using our quote tool to calculate postage, it is important to declare accurate weights and measurements when you book a courier with Shipping One and it is normal for the courier to check these on collection.

 

Additional charges may be applied to parcels which have been under-declared, therefore we always advise that you weigh and measure your item after it has been packaged and made ready to ship. This will ensure you receive an accurate quote.

Shipping ONE can only honor your address change request if below conditions are true.
