A Remote Area Surcharge is applied per shipment when the delivery destination is a remote area. Remote areas include islands, highlands, postcodes that are challenging to serve, or suburbs/towns that are distant, inaccessible, or infrequently served. The specific list of remote areas varies among carriers and incurs an additional cost. This surcharge is applicable for both pickup and delivery.
Please note that the Remote Area Surcharge amount is not initially displayed on the
GetMyParcel.com website during the order placement. If applicable, our customer service will
provide this information to you either by phone or email after the order is placed. The associated
cost is the customer's responsibility and can be paid separately as guided by our customer
service team. You have the option to decide whether to proceed with the order, based on the
communicated Remote Area Surcharge amount (subject to GetMyParcel.com terms and
conditions).
Volumetric weight refers to the billing weight of a parcel, calculated based on its size rather than
its physical weight. The parcel is billed using either its physical weight or volumetric weight,
whichever is greater. When you input the dimensions of each parcel, GetMyParcel.com
automatically computes the volumetric weight for you. Alternatively, you can utilize our
volumetric weight calculator on the homepage within the quote box for quick and accurate
calculations.
Entering incorrect information during shipment creation may result in a price adjustment. If we
need to modify the shipment price due to inaccuracies in weight or dimensions, an
administration charge of £5 will be applied. For further details, please refer to our additional
surcharges information in this FAQ.
Basically, two labels are generated for each package – the main label affixed to the package
and the 'archive label' provided separately to the driver. Additionally, a manifest is printed for
each shipment, and it should be signed by the driver upon collection. This signed manifest
serves as your proof of shipping. Failure to obtain the driver's signature on the manifest may
impact your ability to file a claim in the event of lost goods.
