General Information
MG Euro Parcel delivers across Europe through the DPD network, with collections arranged by Megway Parcels.
This service is a particularly good choice for economical bulk orders, as our cheap rates offset collection costs and longer transit times.
For shipments valued up to €150, please refer to the requirements below.

*You can access country-specific transit time estimates by entering your collection and delivery countries in DPD's transit time calculator. Parcels we collect will leave our depot on the same day, which means no extra days in transit - but please add 1 extra working day to your transit time if opting for a third-party collection service.
How It Works...
With our MG Euro Parcel service, parcels are shipped from our depot. You have the option of dropping your consignment off at one of our depots, using one of our collection services, or choosing one of hundreds of DPD or UPS drop-off locations nationwide.
Please add 1 working day to your estimated transit time if booking either an optional collection or an alternative drop-off option, to allow for overnight delivery to our depot. For some postcodes in London, the East Midlands and North West England, we are able to collect ourselves and ship from the depot same day.
Once your shipment has been delivered to our depot, we will process it and forward your parcel to its final destination via DPD.
Please refer to our documentation page for labelling instructions for each collection/drop-off option.
If you are not able to print any of your documents, please get in touch and we will be happy to post hard copies to you.
Free Local Collections
We are able to offer free collections in some areas of London, the East Midlands and North West England, in proximity to our depots.

Deliver Taxes Paid (DTP)
This service is available Delivered Taxes Paid (DTP) - which means the shipper pays for any customs fees and taxes rather than the recipient.
Shipments to Scandinavia
Parcels to Sweden and Finland will be delivered to DPD Pickup Shops local to your delivery address.
For parcels to Denmark and Norway, only one attempt will be made to deliver to the recipient's address. If unsuccessful, the parcel will be made available to collect at a local Pickup Shop the following day.
DPD Predict
You can use the DPD Predict service with MG Euro Parcel. If the recipient's mobile number is provided when booking through MEGWAY PARCELS, DPD will text them to announce a one-hour delivery window (e.g. 10am-11am). They will also receive an email, or can track their delivery via DPD's app.
If they won't be at home, recipients can change the delivery day, reroute the parcel to the nearest DPD Pickup shop, or arrange to have it left in a safe place or with a neighbour.
Predict is currently available in the following countries:
- Belgium
- Czech Republic
- Germany
- Estonia
- France
- Hungary
- Ireland
- Luxembourg
- Netherlands
- Austria
- Poland
- Portugal
- Slovakia

Size and Weight Restrictions
Restrictions may vary depending on the destination of your shipment. The following information is provided as a general guide:
- Maximum piece weight: 30kg
- Maximum length: 120cm. 2nd longest side can't be over 76cm.
- Maximum size: 300cm girth*
Girth is calculated as follows: (sum of two smallest dimensions x 2) + longest dimension.

(20 + 30) x 2 + 40 = 140cm
