Whether sending Valentine's day cards, jewellery or perfume, take a look at our great prices by entering your details above.
Sending jewellery for Valentines
Jewellery is the perfect gift when you cannot be with your loved one, from charm bracelets to necklaces, to share memories of special occasions. There are many online marketplaces, such as Etsy, that have beautiful hand crafted pieces, that they will treasure for years. We also have our own insurance that offers full cover in transit against loss or damage.
Sending perfume for Valentine's day within the UK
We are one of the few companies that offer delivery of perfume, as it is prohibited with most carriers. Delivery is the next working day throughout the UK and can be collected from your home or work, in addition to various drop off options. Due to restrictions, we cannot send perfume outside of the UK mainland. They also must be shipped from our perfume page which can be located here.
Sending a Valentine's day hamper
Why not put together a beautiful hamper for your Valentine? You can pack the hamper full of their favourite sweets, chocolate's and other treats, just ensure that they are in sealed packs and are not perishable. Also check the use by dates. If you are sending these overseas, please check with local Customs that the products are allowed into the Country and do not have import restrictions.

Do couriers deliver on Valentine's day?
As Valentine's day is not classed as a public holiday in any Country, deliveries are carried out on the 14 February, unless it falls on a weekend.
Sending wine and spirits for Valentine's day
We offer next working day delivery of wines, champagnes and spirits within the UK and also Worldwide delivery, subject to restrictions in the receiving Country. Please check with local Customs that they allow the import of alcohol, prior to sending. Please use our liquid shipping service for any drinks (alcoholic or otherwise), which can be found here.
Sending underwear for Valentine's
Underwear is the perfect gift for your Valentine and who doesn't appreciate carefully chosen beautiful lingerie?
In addition, as lingerie is very light, the shipping charges will be minimal, so allowing you to spend more on the perfect gift!
Items that are restricted from Valentine's day shipping
We cannot send fresh flowers with any of the carriers, due to their perishable nature. So rather than your Valentine being left without a gift, we would suggest using a service such as Interflora or a local florist for fresh flowers.
Likewise with foods, these are perishable items that cannot be sent via courier, the only exception being chocolates, or items in sealed packs. Please check the use by date before sending.
Packing Valentine's day gifts for shipping
Before sending your gift to someone special, please take some time to pack them carefully, as there is nothing worse than receiving a damaged item.
Place 2-3 layers of bubble wrap into the base of an unused cardboard box and wrap any fragile items in several layers of bubble wrap, before placing them into the box. Double walled boxes offer the highest level of protection.
Fill any gaps or voids with additional bubble wrap, crumpled up newspaper, or foam packaging peanuts. If sending picture frames, add some corner protectors made from bubble wrap.
Shake the box around, to check for any movement and add additional packaging material where needed.
Once you are happy with the packaging, tape the box securely shut with 2-3 layers of strong parcel tape, with additional tape applied to any seams. Do not use Sellotape.
Finally, print off and attach your parcel label.

I send my work worldwide on a regular basis and I now use Overland Express for all my shipping. It is great to get such a personal service, they are always quick to answer emails and you even get to talk to a real person on the phone, who knows what they are doing. It is also good to know the insurance they offer really works as the insurance offered by most of the big companies have so many restrictions and exemptions. I have used Overland Express many times and I am very happy with their service and would recommend them to anyone.

I have used Overland Express for 2 years now. I use them to ship bass guitars which are a very large item and have found that they offer the best prices and a good choice of options.
But you only find out how good a company is when things go wrong. Recently there was an issue with a return to a shop, they had the item but due to a mix up within the shop the parcel was never booked in.
I would like to thank the guys at OE for the work you guys put in to help resolve this issue. With some shippers you can`t even speak to a real person never mind get someone to help you with a problem so having someone who you can e mail or speak to on the phone, helped resolve the issue with the shop.

Needed to send my late husband's guitar plus accessories to a family member.
I've never used a carrier other than Royal Mail before and was a bit nervous. (The parcel was too large for Royal Mail and I'd been warned against using a certain other carrier.)
The Overland Express website gave very helpful advice on how to prepare the guitar and protect it for transit.
I found the firm's customer service to be excellent. I was worried because online tracking informed me that only one parcel had been delivered. I phoned and got an answer straight away. Tom (I think) checked online for me and was very reassuring.
The second parcel was indeed delivered later in the day.

We are able to offer lower process than the courier providers themselves due to our bulk buying power, further to that these providers don't want to have the hassle of dealing with individuals - That's how we can offer significantly lower prices.
We've tried to make it as easy as possible to book a parcel delivery with Overland Express by keeping the number of pages down to an absolute minimum that you are required to click-through to complete the parcel delivery booking.
We are sorry to disappoint, but you will not find any budget parcel delivery services here. However, the premium highly rated services from the likes of DHL and UPS can be found here that have prices very close to the budget services that we always avoid.
