Parcel Rules

Please read these before you book. They keep your parcel, our riders and other customers' parcels safe.

Size and weight

  • Maximum 20 kg per parcel
  • Maximum 60 × 40 × 40 cm (about a large shoebox carton)
  • Bigger or heavier? Message us on WhatsApp before booking: it may need a van, at a higher price.

Packing

  • Use a sealed carton or a strong bag. No loose items.
  • Write your PGH booking code on the parcel (you get it by SMS when you book).
  • Write the receiver's name and phone number on the parcel.
  • Wrap fragile items well and mark them FRAGILE.
  • Our rider may refuse a parcel that is badly packed.

Allowed, at your own risk

You can send these. Declare their real value at booking and pack them well:

  • Jewellery and accessories
  • Documents and passports (in a sealed envelope)
  • Electronics such as phones and laptops
  • Food: dry, smoked or sealed (gari, shito, smoked fish, sealed cooked food)
  • Liquids in sealed bottles, maximum 5 litres per parcel

Not allowed

  • Cash
  • Live animals
  • Fresh (raw) meat and fish
  • Illegal drugs, explosives, flammables, weapons, counterfeit goods and anything banned under Ghanaian law (see our Terms)

Declared value

  • Every parcel needs a declared value at booking: what the contents are worth.
  • If a parcel is lost or damaged, ParcelGH refunds the service fee and handles the claim with the transport company. The declared value is what the claim is based on.
  • ParcelGH does not offer parcel insurance yet, so send valuable items at your own risk.
