Cheap shipping for heavy items

Courier prices are calculated based on the weight and size of your package so if you need to ship a heavy item, you may have already discovered that it’s not going to be cheap, or is it? Ok, it won’t be as cheap as sending a small light package in the mail, but there are deals to be had for shipping large items cheaply if you know where to look. 

Courier comparison sites, such as Parcel Monkey (sorry, we had to get that in there), help you compare the cheapest prices from multiple couriers and the best bit is, our shipping rates are discounted, that means you’ll get a cheaper price when you book through Parcel Monkey than you would if you booked directly.

So, if you're looking for the cheapest way to ship a large package, just get a quote through our free shipping calculator. We’ll help you find the cheapest way to ship 50lbs, 100lbs, or even 150lbs!

Courier services for large and heavy items

If you need to ship an oversized or heavy item in the US there are a number of options available to you depending on how heavy the item is. For shipping large boxes and packages up to 70lbs the USPS ground service is a good option, but make sure you check your package is within the USPS weight and size limits. 

Anything over 70lbs and you’ll need to consider one of the large and heavy courier services from FedEx or UPS. You can find out more about these services below.
