Shipments
Shipments delivered via Rapid Standard will not necessarily be delivered to the addressee personally. The Carrier may deliver a package to the addressee shown on the barcode label or to any other person appearing to have authority to accept delivery of the package on the addressee's behalf (such as persons at the same premises as the addressee or neighbours of the addressee). When shipping to residential address, if the drop off location is in a safe area, then the courier driver will leave the parcel at your doorstep.
Documents Needed?
After you have paid for a delivery service within UK, you will be redirected to a page where you can download and print out the relevant shipping labels, i.e
AWB (Courier Waybill - barcode label) - Address label.
The above documents must be attached to the parcel. Otherwise your package will be rejected by the driver.
Restricted Goods
Goods travelling by 'Cargo' are subject to different restrictions to those travelling as carry-on luggage.
A shipment within UK is deemed unacceptable if: it is classified as hazardous material, dangerous goods, prohibited or restricted articles by IATA (International Air Transport Association), ADR (Euro-pean Road Transport Regulation on dangerous goods) or other relevant organisation. Many items which appear harmless in everyday use can pose danger on air transport and are consequently forbidden for transport.
The following page displays a sampling of common prohibited and restricted goods.

Packing Advice
Your parcel must be boxed and well packaged. This will reduce the risk of damage to any item during
transit or any associated automated distribution process.
Please be aware the item is not taken by hand from collection to destination and will visit many sorted
facilities on its journey. For that reason, you need to protect the items to ensure they make it from A
to B safely.
The following packaging guidelines are recommendations to assist you in packaging your shipment:

Shipment Protection
When you book a shipping service to United Kingdom, you will be able to choose an
appropriate level of cover for your shipment. We offer enhanced parcel protection for up to £2000
for a small additional fee.
If you do not purchase enhanced Shipment Protection, your shipment will be only covered to a maximum
value of £50 as per the limited liability set out in our
Terms & Conditions and subject to your
parcel passing minimum packaging requirements.
Please note that the declared value for customs purposes is not related to the declared value selected
for Shipment Protection. We encourage all customers to purchase shipment protection cover for loss or
damage.

Arranging a parcel delivery to Liverpool from the USA has never been easier
It’s so simple to book a Liverpool package delivery from America, thanks to RapidParcel.com and the specialist service we provide. Our courier comparison website allows you to compare and evaluate the deals offered by leading carriers, providing the kind of prices you simply won’t be able to find elsewhere.
There’s no doubting the fact that the Internet has forever changed the way many of us shop, replacing crowded stores and the stress of commuting with a few clicks of a computer mouse and a cup of tea in the comfort of your own home. Not only is shopping online easier, but it also enables people to choose from stores all over the world. In most cases, buying goods of every kind from overseas and having them shipped back home couldn’t be simpler. It’s often frustrating, however, when purchasing something from a US website, to discover that many US online retailers refuse to ship internationally, meaning that organising a parcel delivery to Liverpool from the US can become time-consuming, difficult and expensive.
Finding solutions to shipping problems
At RapidParcel.com we pride ourselves on knowing precisely what problems our customers are likely to face and on coming up with exactly the right solutions. In the case of organising a Liverpool package delivery from the US that can’t be couriered directly, we can arrange, for a small fee, to provide you with our US address from which your parcel can be redirected, meaning that you can shop on absolutely any American website safe in the knowledge that your parcel delivery to Liverpool will arrive quickly and safely.
We’ve been delivering across the globe for a quarter of a century, and in that time we’ve built up strong working relationships with the very best carriers there are. That’s why you’ll recognise the names of the courier partners we have on our site, and know them as companies you can trust with your Liverpool package delivery. Having developed such long-term relationships, not only can we be completely certain of the standards of care they will deliver, but we’re also able to negotiate the kind of prices that aren’t available anywhere else, not even from carriers directly. Add this to speedy delivery, secure handling and the ability to ship from anywhere in the US, and you’ll find RapidParcel.com offers a service that’s simply unrivalled. As well as handling every Liverpool package delivery in this manner, we can offer the same standards for a parcel delivery to Manchester or a Glasgow package delivery, should you need to send anything there instead.
Taking things even further, for those who are likely to wish to use our service on a more regular basis we would suggest considering opening an account with us. It’s free and offers up a whole suite of facilities that will make your interaction with our courier comparison and booking website even easier than before.
To find out more about our service, to compare prices for your Liverpool shipping and to book one of our courier partners, simply consult our website, decide exactly which carrier offers the perfect deal for your needs, and then place your order, secure in the knowledge that RapidParcel.com has thought of every possible detail.
