Who picks up packages for shipping?
The truth is, most courier companies offer the option of dropping off your package at a designated drop off point or having it collected from your home or work. In fact, the same service will usually be available as a drop off service or a package pick up service, so you can choose whichever is most convenient for you.
The following courier services can be booked as a package pickup for sending packages in the US and internationally.
Courier pick up for large items
Package pickup and delivery services are particularly useful if you have a large or heavy item to send. It’s not unusual for people to send furniture, kitchen appliances and even exercise equipment by courier.
Ground shipping services tend to offer the best value for shipping large items in the US and the good news is, both FedEx Ground and UPS Ground can be booked as a courier pickup. Both of these services will pickup boxes up to 150lbs - no one wants to carry a box that heavy to the post office!
You’ll find a selection of ground pickup services when you get a quote through our shipping calculator. Just tell us the size, weight and destination of your package and we’ll find you the cheapest price.
