Parcel Shipping

What Is Parcel Shipping?

Parcel shipping refers to the transportation of small packages or shipments, typically weighing under 70 lbs, from one location to another. It is commonly used for sending individual packages or small orders via various carriers like postal services or private courier companies. Parcel shipments can include a wide range of items, from personal goods to commercial products, and are often handled through parcel services or third-party logistics providers. In shipping, parcel transportation focuses on efficient, cost-effective delivery, often with tracking and delivery confirmation, and is ideal for businesses or individuals needing to ship smaller volumes of goods.
