ParcelParcel only works with courier services that offer express delivery. As a result, your pallet may sometimes reach the other side of the world within 2 - 3 working days. With express delivery, you can also often send larger volumes and a higher maximum weight per pallet. Below is a comparison of starting prices and delivery time per country:

*Based on a pallet from the Netherlands with dimensions 120 x 80 x 50 cm and a weight of 100 kg.
For parcel post (PostNL), you can often send up to only 30 kg, which is not convenient if you have many products totaling more than 30 kg. Therefore, we also offer pallet transport. ParcelParcel collaborates only with express carriers, where the maximum dimensions and actual weight per pallet are much larger than parcel delivery. This is ideal for large shipments.
However, for sending pallets, there is a maximum weight of 1000 kg. Carriers also have certain maximum dimensions for pallet shipment. We work with FedEx, DHL, TNT, and DSV, and these carriers have the following maximum dimensions in addition to a maximum weight:
A pallet can be made of various materials such as wood, plastic, metal, or corrugated cardboard. It must be suitable for pickup by a forklift from all four sides. Avoid using chipboard or polystyrene pallets. Also, consider that pallet dimensions contribute to volumetric weight and, consequently, shipping costs.
Here are the most common materials for pallets:
· Wooden pallets in soft or hardwood, with the latter providing more stability for heavier loads.
· Plastic pallets made of recycled PET or new HDPE and are more expensive because they last longer compared to wooden pallets.
· Paper pallets or Eco-pallets can carry the same weight as a standard wooden pallet but are often used for lighter loads. Eco-pallets are the most environmentally friendly option as they are made of paper and can be easily recycled.
· Steel pallets last the longest, especially when transporting cargo under harsh conditions. Steel pallets are more expensive but ideal for heavier loads like transporting machinery.
Pallets are available at most hardware stores, specialized pallet shops, and you can buy new or used pallets online. Buying a used pallet is the cheapest way to ship a pallet, but make sure the pallet is in good condition, and the dimensions and weight limits are suitable for your shipment.
Stackable pallets have a flat top and are stacked correctly with the right material. These stackable pallets are preferred as they allow us to fully utilize the space in the vehicle. If it's not possible to use a stackable pallet, we may charge additional fees. Contact us in advance. Other points to consider when picking up are:
· Pallets can only be picked up at ground-level locations.
· Pallets can be picked up on a solid surface accessible by a pallet truck or forklift.
· The weight must not exceed 1000 kg.
· The driver does not enter your office or storage to pick up the pallet.
· Pallets cannot be picked up on steep slopes or gravel-covered driveways.
· Indicate if you need a lift platform during pickup.
· If you are sending 3 or more pallets, you must provide a forklift or loading ramp.Well, very simple. At ParcelParcel, we make international shipping easy. Here's how it works:

Shipping costs are calculated based on dimensions (LxWxH in cm), weight (in kg), and the destination country. Both the actual weight (as shown on the scale) and the volumetric weight are considered.
The volumetric weight is the weight calculated based on the space your shipment occupies in the plane. The higher of the two weights (volumetric or actual weight) is used to calculate the shipping rate. You don't need to calculate this yourself; our calculator does it for you.

Whether additional costs apply depends on whether your shipment stays within the European Union or is sent to/from a country outside the European Union. Below, you can see the additional costs for each situation.
Within the European Union
If, for example, you send a shipment from the Netherlands to Italy (within the EU), there will be an additional 21% VAT on the shipping costs.
Furthermore, if your shipment stays within the European Union, you won't have to deal with any import duties or customs clearance fees because your shipment doesn't go through customs. Please note that the European Union is not the same as Europe.
View here all the countries that are part of the European Union. For example, Switzerland is part of Europe but not part of the European Union.
Outside the European Union
If, for example, you send a shipment from the Netherlands to the United States, there will be no VAT (0%) applied to the displayed shipping rates.
However, there might be import duties levied by customs in the destination country if you send a shipment to/from a country outside the European Union. Typically, customs costs are charged to the recipient. This is known as Delivered At Place (DAP) in logistics terminology.
Customs is a government agency that levies import duties in certain cases to protect the local market. As a company, you can also ship using Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), which means any customs costs will be charged to you as the sender.
If you have any questions about this topic, feel free to contact us. Additionally, you can read everything about import duties, VAT, and the customs clearance process in this blog.

A customs invoice is a form where all the goods you want to ship are specified. This invoice includes an English description of the goods, along with their corresponding value and weight.
The contents of your shipment must be specified per type of product you're sending to avoid delays at customs. A customs invoice is always prepared in quadruplicate in accordance with customs guidelines.
When is a customs invoice required?
A customs invoice is only required for shipments to/from countries outside the European Union (e.g., Netherlands - United States). If your shipment stays within the European Union (e.g., Netherlands - Italy), your shipment will not go through customs, and therefore, a customs invoice is not required.
Additionally, document shipments are not subject to customs, so if you're sending a document to a country within/outside the European Union, no customs invoice is needed.
Please note that not all goods can be shipped to every country. You can find a list of goods that cannot be sent via ParcelParcel on this page.
Do I need to create a customs invoice myself?
If you're sending a shipment to/from a country outside the European Union, it's mandatory to include a customs invoice with the shipment. We provide free support in creating a customs invoice.
You can easily generate a customs invoice through our shipping platform. The customs invoice will be automatically generated based on the content you specified during your booking.
