Sending a parcel to Nepal from the UK: courier or air cargo?

People sending things to family in Nepal usually look for a courier or a parcel service. Goldcross Cargo is not a courier — parcel and courier service is not available from our UK office — but boxes, suitcases and small consignments travel to Nepal as air cargo, with door delivery available. This guide explains the difference so you can choose.

Courier or air cargo: the difference

An express courier collects a labelled parcel and delivers it to the door on its own network; the price is set per parcel, by size and weight band. Air cargo is booked on an airline flight by weight and volume under an airway bill, and suits larger or heavier consignments and shipments of several pieces.

As a general guide, a courier is usually the simpler choice for documents or one small, urgent packet. Air cargo is usually worth a quotation when you are sending boxes, suitcases, household goods or anything heavy. Compare a written quotation for your actual shipment — we quote every enquiry individually and do not publish fixed prices.

What Goldcross Cargo can send to Nepal

  • Boxes, suitcases and excess baggage, household goods, gifts and commercial cargo.
  • Small consignments too: they travel as air cargo, and there is no minimum size.
  • Shipments fly to Kathmandu (Tribhuvan International), typically 1–3 days by air, subject to airline availability and routing.
  • Door delivery to the receiver's address is available in Nepal; airport collection is also possible.
  • Collection is by appointment across the UK, or you can drop off at Hayes, near Heathrow.

Parcel and courier service is not available in the UK, so we do not offer an express parcel network or a per-parcel price list.

What to send us for a quotation

  • What you are sending, and the number of packages.
  • The packed weight and dimensions of each package.
  • Your UK collection postcode.
  • The receiver's address and phone number in Nepal.

The team confirms the price before you book. Destination customs and handling charges (and any delivery) are paid by the receiver. See what to prepare for a Nepal enquiry.
