Parcel shipping

What is Parcel shipping?

Unlike Freight shipping, parcel shipping is used to describe the transportation of smaller, lighter packed objects. Typically, parcel refers to shipments weighing less than 70 kg per piece and easily transportable without help. If you're shipping a few small items at a time, parcel shipping is a cost-effective option.
