Small businesses across the UK are being offered a valuable incentive to streamline their shipping operations, with comparison site Parcel2Go launching a new promotional offer. The company is providing a £25 prepaid postage credit to first-time users of its recently introduced Smart Send shipping tool, a completely free service designed to help merchants manage deliveries more efficiently.
A Financial Boost for Online Sellers
For many small enterprises, whether a side hustle or a primary income source, managing courier prices, multiple online marketplaces, and overall shipping costs presents a significant challenge. With postal rates consistently rising, finding effective methods to control these expenses is increasingly difficult. Parcel2Go's latest initiative aims to alleviate this pressure by offering new users £25 of credit, providing a financial cushion that allows businesses to trial the platform without immediately impacting their own budgets.
How the Smart Send Tool Works
The Smart Send platform is engineered to consolidate various selling channels into a single, unified dashboard. This integration automates order management processes and grants access to Parcel2Go's discounted courier rates. The system is particularly beneficial for sellers handling higher order volumes or operating across multiple marketplaces, as it reduces the need for numerous open tabs and manual administrative steps while enhancing control over delivery expenditures.
To activate the £25 credit, users must create a free Smart Send account and integrate their first marketplace, such as eBay, Etsy, Shopify, TikTok, or Not on the High Street. The credit typically becomes available within 24 hours of completing this setup. Parcel2Go states that this offer is designed to help sellers commence the year productively, encouraging merchants to explore the capabilities of Smart Send while using the complimentary credit to offset the costs of their initial shipments and familiarise themselves with the system.
Key Features and Potential Savings
Smart Send promises several advantages for online retailers, including automated order imports, exclusive shipping rates, and improved cost visibility across different platforms. While the exact savings will vary depending on factors like product type, shipping destinations, and frequency, the £25 free credit presents a relatively low-risk opportunity for businesses to assess whether Parcel2Go's professional shipping software integrates effectively into their operational workflow.
This promotional offer is currently active and is scheduled to run throughout January. It applies exclusively to new Smart Send users who integrate their first store. As with all such promotions, full terms and conditions apply, and businesses are advised to review these details carefully before participating.
