Cheap international shipping with Light Packet

Our international ePacket service enables you to ship those lightweight packets with the speed and transparency that all eCommerce customers demand. You can also book Light Packet shipping online via the Parcel Monkey marketplace to arrange a delivery to friends or family who live overseas.

When you book a package in with Light Packet international it will be collected from the comfort of your own home or even your work address, so all you will need to do is complete the simple routine of packing your box, to ensure it is protected when being shipped overseas and print the label out from your Parcel Monkey account.  The label will have two parts, one to get the package to a central sort facility, and then the second label with your recipient address on it. Both of these parts must be clearly visible in order for the couriers to deliver your package. 

Then attach all the relevant customs documents provided by us and hand it over to the courier, who will come and collect on the day of your choice.

When your package is collected in the USA by the premium courier FedEx, the tracking will go live and you can follow the package to our freight forwarding warehouse. Here the package will be sorted and dispatched to the destination you have chosen to ship to. The USPS then deliver your shipment to the recipient in the final location.

Do I get access to the package tracking?

Our Light Packet rate allows you to track shipments all the way to your recipient's door via the Parcel Monkey tracking tool and comes with free protection cover up to the value of $22. The final mile delivery agent, USPS, is part of the Prime Initiative, which encourages more visibility from the couriers, so you can see every scan made on your package for ultimate clarity of where your package is during despatch and delivery. Of course being able to track a package is important for those who are shipping eBay items or something from a small business so the recipient can be aware of when the goods will arrive. 

If you are looking for some of the cheapest international shipping around, you can’t get much better than international Light Packet. This delivery service will arrive in 4-14 business days to destinations around the globe. To access full tracking via our own tracking tool, just add your PM order number to follow the package to its delivery.

Where can I ship my package to with Light Packet? 

This affordable overseas shipping service from the USA allows you to send to a number of countries in a shipping time of between 4-14 business days.

Popular destinations include; 

Germany, Australia, France and the Netherlands. We also see a large volume of small packets being sent on this service to Sweden. Just add your package details into our shipping calculator and choose from a wide range of international shipping services such as USPS. 

You can also use Parcel Monkey services to get an item collected from an alternative address, maybe if you want to collect something you have left behind on vacation or you are arranging a collection for somebody else. Simply place the order and send the label to the collection address so you can send items back to your own address.  

What can I send using the light packet service?

Our customers send all kinds of items using this service which is designed for eCommerce and lightweight goods. We see clothing often sent via this courier to destinations all over the world from the US as well as small pieces of exercise equipment. This type of service is also perfect for items such as vinyl records which we have seen a huge increase in orders for with the vinyl revival in full swing. LP Mailing from the USA is on the rise with buyers from places as far and wide as Israel, Singapore and of course the music-loving UK enjoying swift delivery with Parcel Monkey.

    parcel lost, avoid this servic

    By frustrated and sad shipper on 14/01/2021

    absolutely the worst shipping service and communication. This package was shipped in August 2020 and as of January 2021 it remains undelivered, neither recipient nor sender has received it. Trying to file a complain via messages with customer service is a joke, they just put me off citing covid delays or waiting for tracking info. I need to file a complaint for the lost parcel value of contents and cost of shipping paid but they do not have an avenue for this.

    Agent replied on 14/01/2021

    Since the parcel Unsuccessful delivery attempt due to receiver was not able to contactable. We have approached delivery partner to know the parcel returned their facility. If they received then we will ask them to send it via express service to USA.

  • How should I package my parcel?

    All packages should be packed well enough to be transported safely across long distances, potentially being passed through a range of vehicles and warehouses depending on which destination you are shipping to. Always check your items are not prohibited or restrcited too, 

    • Use a sturdy, heavy duty cardboard box to prevent any damage to the goods inside.

    • If the items inside are fragile, make sure they are wrapped separately. Fill any spaces in the box with polystyrene chips. 

    • Seal any openings of the box with layers of tape to ensure the box does not open.

    • Securely attach all shipping labels and customs documents provided by Parcel Monkey.

     

    If you have any further questions on packaging, read our guide and if you are still unsure feel free to ask our Live Chat team for advice.
