How Much Does It Cost To Send a Mobile Phone?
The price of sending a mobile phone depends on a few different variants. One variant is the weight and size of the product; most mobile phones would be in and around the same region so prices will not fluctuate too much as a result of this. Furthermore, another thing to consider would be where your parcel is being sent to, as there are a number of different pricing options depending on the distance the parcel needs to travel. The average cost to send a 1 Kg parcel (which is likely to be quite a bit more than your mobile phone will be, but rounded to the nearest Kg) for next day delivery will cost between £6.29 and £23.89, for national delivery. For international delivery please note the price will be different for each location but delivering an iPhone 7 to Italy (Reminder that country’s outside the EU may be considerably more) within 3-5 working days can cost between £13.99 by Parcel Force to £16.79 from DPD.
| National | Price |
| DPD | £5.99 |
| DX | £7.19 |
| Parcel Force | £9.89 |
| International | Price |
| DPD Pickup | £14.19 |
| Parcel Force | £13.99 |
Please note that all international and national prices were based on a 0.5Kg weight. International deliveries may vary (prices included are based on deliveries in the EU).
Restrictions
Be aware that you should look into a country’s prohibited items before attempting to send a mobile phone. Some countries and couriers won’t allow the transportation of lithium batteries and therefore sending a mobile phone using this method is not always a possibility. Double check with the courier directly prior to sending the parcel.
Liability
When looking to send a parcel with a valuable item such as a mobile phone it is best to take into consideration liability so if your parcel becomes damaged along the way, you may be able to get some money back if you have specific insurance. Make sure that you read all courier terms and conditions prior to booking in order to find out what items are covered when it comes to basic insurance. Some couriers will not pay out if an expensive product like a phone breaks if they have advised to not use the service without insurance.
