At Envíosimple.com we work with the best carriers in the business so that you can send parcels the simplest way at the best price to any destination worldwide on our website.
1. What is Envíosimple.com?
Envíosimple.com is the most advanced website of its kind, designed to simplify the process of booking a parcel when you need it, showing the best available offers in an organised and user friendly way, at the best price. We negotiate tariffs with the best suppliers so that you save on shipping costs. You don’t need an account, just quote and book!
2. How does Envíosimple.com work?
Envíosimple.com couldn't be simpler. Just insert the weight of the parcel (In kilos), its measurements (In centimetres), pickup post code and delivery post code and hit "Get instant quote". In a split second, we will show you all the available offers to send your parcel. Just fill in the mandatory fields and we will take care of the rest.
3. How should I weigh and measure what I am sending?
In order to receive a good service, it is very important that you weigh and measure your parcel correctly once wrapped. Only this way, will we be able to offer you the best service for your needs and avoid delays and extra costs that may incur for declaring the wrong figures. Please insert weight with one decimal point. For example: 1,7Kg if your parcel weighs 1700Gr or 0,3Kg if your parcel weighs 300Gr. If the parcel is big, it is most important to declare the correct measurements, as the parcel will usually have a higher volume that physical weight.
4. What is the difference between physical weight and volume weight?
If what you are sending is big and light, you will be charged for the space it takes up and not for its weight. The volume weight is obtained from a variable formula that takes the measurements into account. This is why it is important to declare the correct weight and measurements. This formula varies from one supplier to another making some couriers more suitable for bigger items and others better for smaller ones.
5. Can I choose the date and time of pickup?
You can choose the date and time that best suits you. It is quite likely to be picked up in the bracket selected in capital cities and reasonably sized towns. However in smaller towns, although the courier will try to adapt, it won’t always be possible, especially in more remote areas. In these cases, pick up will be during the day at any time. We recommend you ask the driver at what time does he usually pick up in your area in these cases so you can arrange future pickups having that in mind.
6. Can I choose the date and time of delivery?
Not really. Deliveries are made during the day and we can´t choose at what time except with more urgent services where you can choose to have it delivered by a certain time. Once there has been a failed delivery attempt, we can transmit time preferences to the courier in order to improve chances of delivery. As long as the included delivery attempts have not finished and the instructions are possible to carry out, we will do our best to get the parcel delivered.

If the parcel is to be sent from place where you won’t be to a place where you won’t be either, you will need to choose “neither”. This will help us determine who we need to notify and we will also use it to fill in the pickup form for you.

Aiming to offer the best service possible, we also offer our customers the possibility to send their parcels C.O.D.

A COD (Cash on Delivery) service is a service which includes amount you wish to charge the recipient upon delivery. The driver will not hand the parcel to the recipient unless he pays the amount.
2. What isn´t a COD service?
COD is not a service where the recipient pays for the service. We don’t do shipments allowing the recipient to pay once they receive the parcel. The amount is charged from the recipient and not handed to the sender by the driver on pickup.

The commission is calculated from the amount that the courier needs to charge on delivery. It’s a percentage of the amount to be charged, which varies from one supplier to another. There is also a minimum amount charged. This means that if the amount to charge is high, the commission will raise.

B. Discount for sending more than 10 parcels in one week.
At Envíosimple.com we reward loyalty. This is why our website detects that you send more than 10 parcels in one week and automatically offers an extra discount. This discount will last for 6 weeks from when you sent 10 parcels in one week, which means, you can go on holidays and the discount will still be there when you return. You will be able to monitor your parcel goals to achieve discounts and view when they expire from the “My account” part of your customer area.
C. Discount for recharging prepay with at least 100EUR.
This is our customer’s favourite discount. On Envíosimple.com you can pay for services with your bank card in collaboration with Banco Sabadell, with Paypal or with your prepay account. If you recharge your prepay account with at least 100€, once you spend it, we will activate a 5EUR discount coupon for every 100EUR you transfer. If you recharge your prepay account with 300EUR, you will have 3 coupon that will be made available to use as you spend the prepay amount.
2. There is no discount and I am a registered customer. What is wrong?
Envíosimple.com has agreements with many different couriers, and some of them won’t let us offer their services for less than the price shown. On the other hand, it could be because we don’t have enough margins to be able to offer additional discounts. The only discount that you will always be eligible for is the discount for recharging prepay with at least 100EUR.
3. I´m sending lots of parcels a week and no discount is being applied. What’s wrong?
Envíosimple.com has agreements with many different couriers, and some of them won’t let us offer their services for less than the price shown. On the other hand, it could be because we don’t have enough margins to be able to offer additional discounts. The only discount that you will always be eligible for is the discount for recharging prepay with at least 100EUR.
4. How can I know if the additional discounts are being taken into account?
On the step when you choose the service that best suits you, the price breakdown will show the discount applied. You will also be able to see it later on the price breakdown. It will also be visible on your invoice.
