What is Door-to-Door Shipping?

Door-to-door shipping means the carrier collects from your address and delivers directly to the recipient's address — no depot drop-offs, no post office queues. All Cargosender services are door-to-door by default. For international shipments, 'door-to-door' includes origin collection, customs clearance, and destination delivery — handled by the carrier on your behalf.

Carriers charge whichever is greater: actual or volumetric weight (L×W×H cm ÷ 5000).

Cross-border shipments may attract import duties and VAT at destination — declared value required.
