Every now and again, EasyParcel's courier partners find a parcel brought to their depot that isn’t quite what they expected. It could be larger or heavier than declared, which means the declared weight or dimensions are different from the actual measurements.

The quotes that EasyParcel provides on their website are based on the parcel details you provide during the booking process. Hence, if their courier partners find that the package weighs or measures more than originally declared, there is a possibility that couriers will apply surcharges to sender on the additional misdeclared weight at EasyParcel’s normal rate.
