The report card
Best for cheap UK parcel sending
Parcel2Go compares couriers for UK and international parcels with no account fee, from £2.39 (£1.99 excluding VAT) a parcel. That price is for the cheapest service up to 20 kg, Parcel Protection is an extra, and the £30 credit for new Seller Hub sign-ups has terms.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | No account fee, and you pay the courier price per parcel from £2.39. The from-price is for parcels up to 20 kg on the cheapest service. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Free to use with no contracts or setup fees, so a person can send parcels without paying for the service itself. |
| Features | B | Courier comparison, international sending, Smart Send for sellers, marketplace links, business accounts and tracking. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core work. |
| Ease of use | B | No store rating is on record, but you enter a parcel's destination and size and get quotes with nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with Amazon, eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce and couriers such as Royal Mail, Evri, UPS and DPD. No phone or desktop app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
Parcel2Go is free, so making your own would save you nothing.
And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 76 of the 80 other shipping software we grade.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Discounted carrier rates and labels, which take an agreement with each carrier.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Parcel2Go’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
