# Parcel2Go > UK courier comparison site for booking and printing parcel labels. - Shipping, Starter pick - Platforms: eBay, Etsy, Depop, Whatnot, TikTok Shop - Orders a week: 0–2000 - Not yet checked by a person Suits you if you post the odd bulky parcel, such as a pair of boxed trainers, and want to compare couriers before booking. You can choose a home collection or a drop-off shop, and its free Smart Send tool gathers orders from several marketplaces. ## Bulky one-offs and courier comparison You post the occasional bulky item, such as a boxed pair of trainers or a lamp, and want to compare couriers before you book. Enter one size and weight and Parcel2Go lists several couriers side by side. It also suits you if you sell on eBay, Etsy and Shopify and want orders imported for free. Its Smart Send tool links sales channels and prints labels in one place. Your small parcels may go cheaper through Royal Mail, so use Parcel2Go for the awkward ones. ## Smart Send, collection and drop-off Smart Send links marketplaces such as eBay, Amazon, Etsy and Shopify, with CSV import for others. Parcel2Go describes Smart Send as free to use, and you pay for each label you book. Each quote shows whether the courier collects from your door or wants a drop-off at a shop or locker. The booking page lists the service's size and weight limits; read them before you pay. ## Booking a parcel Weigh and measure the packed parcel, enter the details, and compare quotes on price, collection or drop-off, and delivery speed. Print the label at 100 x 150 mm on a thermal printer if the courier offers that size. Book a collection when you have several parcels, or a drop-off when a shop sits on your route. Keep the booking reference until the parcel is delivered. Enter accurate numbers the first time and you won't need to rebook. ## Click & Drop or ShipStation instead Royal Mail Click & Drop suits small parcels and Large Letters, and links marketplace orders for free. ShipStation suits you at dozens of parcels a day, with automation rules and one queue across couriers, for a monthly fee. ## Measurements, cover and restricted items The quote uses the size and weight you enter. If the courier measures a bigger parcel, it may charge extra. Measure the longest side, width and height of the packed box. Cover options vary by service, so check the booking page before you post anything valuable. Some couriers refuse certain items, such as liquids, batteries or fragile goods without extra packing. Read the prohibited and restricted items list for the service you pick. ## Common mistakes - Measure the finished parcel. If you enter the item's own size instead of the packed size, you risk surcharges. - The cheapest quote may need a drop-off you did not plan for. Filter by collection or drop-off first. - Read the cover terms before you book a high-value item. If it is lost, the cost may fall on you. - Typing each order in by hand wastes time. Link your eBay account in Smart Send instead. - A label over a seam or an old barcode may not scan. Place it flat on the largest face and cover any old labels. ## Guides - [Cheapest way to post a parcel in the UK](https://sellersetups.com/guides/cheapest-way-to-post-a-parcel): InPost lockers, Royal Mail and Evri compared on our checked prices: which service is cheapest for a flat item, a 2 kg parcel and a heavy box. - [How to post bulky items: bikes, golf clubs, prams](https://sellersetups.com/guides/how-to-post-bulky-items): Courier size limits for long and heavy parcels, how to work out length plus girth, and how to pack a bike, a golf bag, gym weights and a pram. ## Questions ### Is Parcel2Go a courier?
