Sending parcels to France can be a great idea if you have friends or family there. Sometimes living abroad can make you feel that you are missing something at home and receiving parcels and mail can really cheer you up.
There are guidelines that you have to follow when sending a parcel to any country in Europe, and France is no different. Items such as perfumes and other liquids are not allowed, so make sure the item you are looking to send is allowed before you send it.
In France, La Poste is the main postal service and so your parcel is most likely to be sent via it. When packing a parcel that is ready to be sent there are ways to help secure the package and ensure it arrives in one piece. The best way to start is by getting a double-walled box as they are very durable and ideal for larger items.
Whatever you are sending, make sure the packaging you choose is suitable for the item. Place the item in the centre of the box, with any excess space cushioned with bubble wrap or a similar material. This will prevent the item from sliding around during shipping to France. Making sure the box is tightly sealed with tape is useful, but do not use excessive tape as Customs may need to check the package.
It is also extremely important that you clearly address your parcel before delivery, so that it can be sent without any problems. It may seem an obvious thing to point out, but labelling the box clearly is vital. Use uppercase letters to write out the address so there can be no mistake in reading the label. Handwriting is very different in France to the UK and an address can be easily misread so make it obvious where your parcel needs sending.
If there are any sharp edges on the item being sent then make sure they are covered well by appropriate packaging. Ensure all packages are labelled correctly using the right markings, such as ‘fragile’, as this will help to ensure your parcel is handled with care. If you are looking for a courier to France you can use the services at Parcel2go.com to find the ideal postage rate for you.
