How do I measure my boxes/suitcases?

Last updated on 06 Apr, 2026

We recommend using a measuring tape to measure any items being sent, as this is the most accurate method of doing so.

Measuring tapes can be purchased from most high street shops or supermarkets.

Alternatively, you can use rulers or A4 pages (each 30 cm in length) to measure the suitcase; however, this method is not as accurate as using a measuring tape.

You need to measure the longest dimension on any side of an item, as this will determine the space it occupies in the courier's network.

Please ensure all of your items are measured, including any handles, wheels, or bulges on suitcases.

When you book, your individual route will have certain size and weight restrictions - our website will automatically check your sizes and weights when entered and show you the correct price.
