Send a parcel to: Belgium
Nestled between France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, Belgium is a small country, the heart of European politics and a thriving and popular destination for us Brits and our parcels!
Home to the self-proclaimed 'smallest town in the world' Durbuy, we can delivery your documents and parcels - large and small - to anywhere in Belgium.
From Antwerp to Arlon, and Bruges to Bastogne, Parcelforce will get your Belgium-bound parcel to its destination with speed and care. For urgent items that need posting from the UK to Belgium, our globalexpress service is ideal, with delivery next working day. Our globalpriority and globalvalue services offer further choice, depending on the speed you need, compensation, and tracking requirements.
You'll save money when you book online and opt to drop off at a Parcelforce depot or Post Office®, though we also offer a collection service for your convenience. Find out the cost of sending a parcel from the UK to Belgium using our international delivery services, and book online here.
