We see turbos, alternators and starter motors shipped quite often through our services, normally these are being sent for refurbishment and are closely followed by gear box parts and brake discs being sent by courier within the UK and overseas.

Please drain any oil or lubricants before sending car parts, as they are likely to be refused by the courier if not. When sending head lights, please make sure that these are sufficiently packed to avoid damage.

If sending items Internationally, like fuel tanks, radiators, engines and gearboxes, or any reservoirs that contain fluids, you will need a purge certificate that confirms that they have been drained and cleaned sufficiently for transport. This is essential for air transport, as they can then travel without a dangerous goods certificate.

Any glass items, such as windows, mirror's and windscreens, can be carried, but cannot be insured and are carried at your own risk. So please take some extra time to pack them correctly, to prevent any possible damage.

How to Send Car Parts by Courier

Prerequisites:

Packing peanuts

A cardboard box must be used for the outer packaging due to COVID-19 handling restrictions.

At Overland Express, we send many car parts, from wing mirrors and headlights, through to alloy wheels, tyres and exhausts.

When packing your items for shipping, there are a few things to consider, ensuring that your car parts arrive in the same condition that you sent them in.

Any parts that contain oil or petrol, or other hazardous liquids must be drained and cleaned of any residue before sending.

For items such as headlights, wing mirrors, or fragile items, select a box large enough that the item can be placed in the centre of the box, with adequate space around the item for packing. Wrap the item with several layers of bubble wrap and tape it securely in place. Make sure that any sharp edges are well protected and that no corners or edges are touching the sides of the box.

If sending multiple items within the same box, make sure that you leave adequate space between each item.

For larger items, such as gear boxes, a pallet is a better option. Please allow 24 hours' notice for any pallets and be prepared to assist the driver with loading, for any item weighing more than 30 kg.

If sending car parts outside of the UK, you will need to enclose a commercial invoice, detailing the items being sent and their value. We can provide you with all the necessary customs paperwork.
