InPost parcel prices: what it costs to send

InPost suits people who can drop off or collect parcels at a locker or shop near them. InPost Lockers are parcel boxes used to send and collect parcels, and InPost shops offer the same service.

Our table lists two InPost services: Locker or Shop to a home address, and Locker or Shop to an InPost Locker or Shop. Both start with a drop-off, which usually costs less than a courier collecting from your door.

InPost may not suit you if you need a courier to collect from your door. Prices depend on size and weight, because couriers price by the size band your parcel fits.

Next step: sort the table by real cost, then check your parcel's size band on InPost's own site. If you need door collection, also compare Interparcel parcels.

InPost prices depend on your parcel's size and weight. Whether your parcel is small, medium or large, couriers price it by the size band it fits.

Every deal in our table is read from InPost's own website, and each table shows the date its prices were last checked. Check your parcel's size band on the provider's site before you compare.

Dropping off at a shop, locker or counter usually costs less than a courier collecting from your door. Choose drop-off where you can.

To compare InPost with rivals, try a booking site such as Interparcel, which quotes many couriers in one go. Royal Mail and Parcelforce online prices are also cheaper than paying at a Post Office counter, so check Royal Mail online first.

Sending with InPost takes four simple steps, and you can compare the real cost before you pay.

1. Measure your parcel. Couriers price by the size band your parcel fits, so check its size and weight first.
2. Choose a drop-off option. Dropping off at an InPost Locker or shop usually costs less than a courier collecting from your door.
3. Decide on tracking. A tracked service lets you follow your parcel online until it is delivered. Untracked services do not.
4. Compare in our table. Check the date the prices were last checked, then find the lowest real cost for your parcel.
