Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes are available and what are the internal dimensions?

The Telescopic Boxes come in three sizes: A5 (214 x 151 x 45mm), A4 (301 x 213 x 45mm) and C4 (337 x 236 x 48mm), all measured internally. External dimensions are slightly larger due to the slide-on lid, ranging from 231 x 166 x 50mm on the A5 up to 354 x 251 x 53mm on the C4.

Are these boxes suitable for posting through Royal Mail?

Yes, all three sizes are designed to fit within the Royal Mail Pricing in Proportion Small Parcel band, up to 450 x 350 x 160mm, helping you keep postage costs accurate.

What material are the boxes made from and how strong are they?

These boxes are made from E-flute single wall corrugated cardboard with a 1.6mm flute thickness, giving a lightweight yet sturdy construction. The telescopic lid overlaps the base for double-strength side protection.

How does the telescopic slide-on lid work?

The box has a separate lid that slides down over the base, so the height can be adjusted slightly to suit the depth of your product. This makes it ideal for packing items of varying thickness such as books, framed items or gift sets.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Yes, these boxes are made from 100% recyclable cardboard, making them a straightforward choice for eco-conscious dispatch and storage.

How quickly will my order be despatched?

Orders are despatched the same working day when placed before our daily cut-off, from UK stock. Prices shown are VAT-exclusive and trade pricing falls the more you buy.

Paul Buck

I've had good dealings with everyone I have dealt with at Parcelsend and I look forward to using there service for the foreseeable future. Much easier to deal with than the competitors I spoke to and very reasonably priced. This is the type of business I like to work with.

Robert Wright

Supremely helpful on the phone, excellent product, well packaged and protected. Sent ParcelForce, not Yodel,… essentially, the only reason it isn’t a six star review,.. there just aren’t that many stars! Thanks so much 🙏
