What is a Surcharge?
Every now and again, our couriers find a parcel brought to their depot that isn’t quite what they expected. It could be larger than declared, for example, or heavier, or it could be packaged incorrectly and require repackaging.
The quotes we provide on our site are based on the parcel details you provide during the booking process. Therefore, if the courier finds that the package weighs or measures more than originally declared, or the courier has to take the time to repackage the item, the sender hasn’t paid the actual cost of the delivery.
For this reason, the courier issues an additional charge to the sender to cover the extra cost.
