Process Required to Send a Parcel

Choose A Courier Service

Pick a courier service to send your parcel with. You can choose a post office or DHL, or ParcelShop, among other numerous choices around. Walk into their store around, visit their website, or download their mobile app (if available) to walk you through the necessary steps.

Besides, you can also request for the receiver’s signature to be used as proof of delivery.

Fill All Necessary Details

Specify every detail, including what’s in the parcel, where your parcel is to be sent, from where you are sending it, how much it is worth, the item’s weight, your email address, phone number and other suitable information. Usually, the more information supplied, the better.

Pay and Print the Label

You are required to pay the delivery fee, and you will be able to print your label. You can use a Print In-Store device instead if you do not have a printer. For some couriers, you do not need to print. The attendant at their shop will help you tag your parcel.

Send Your Parcel

Now that everything is set, you can now hand over your parcel to be sent. Once you have printed and attached the label, hand your parcel to the store staff.

Track Your Parcel

After dropping the parcel to a courier or store staff, you can start to track it. You can track the status of your parcel online using the tracking number handed to you from the store.
