A door-to-door courier service
   
This service is most suited for when you need to have documents or parcels greater than 500g delivered to a UK address or somewhere based worldwide. If it is a very heavy item (more than 250kg) then you might be able to get a further discount, although this depends on the destination country in question.

The online track and trace facility is available with this service, whether the parcel is being sent within the UK or overseas. You can go through the prices and check out the transit times on services offered by TNT, FedEx and DHL, while there are also independent couriers to be found too.

In the next article, we will take a closer look at air and sea freight services which are also available.
