Definition & Explanation
Parcel shipping refers to the transport of individually handled, standardised shipments through the network of a courier, express or parcel (CEP) provider. Billing follows the provider's own terms of carriage rather than the CMR convention, and is based on a base rate plus surcharges such as fuel or residential surcharges.
