Send gifts home securely and confidently, Parcel2Go tells Paralympics visitors

Parcel2Go has reminded people visiting Britain to attend the upcoming 2012 Paralympic Games that they can send any purchases home with the help of a professional courier service.

About 4,200 athletes from more than 160 countries will take part in the sporting events, which begin on August 29 and run until September 9. More than 2.2 million tickets out of the available total of 2.5 million have already been sold, and organisers have said that if demand continues it will result in the first sell-out in the event's 52-year history.

Many of the spectators will be from overseas, and are expected to take the opportunity to do some serious shopping as part of their trip. Bolton-based Parcel2Go says these visitors could make the process of getting their purchases home much easier by securing the services of a leading courier company to handle the delivery.

"Getting goods home can be a real pain when you're overseas, and the chances are that visitors to Britain will want to concentrate on the Paralympic Games over the next few weeks, rather than have to worry about how they are going to get their presents and souvenirs home," said Richard Mercer, marketing director at Parcel2Go.

"Booking a courier through our site is simple and only takes a minute. Visitors can arrange to have their packages picked up and then shipped to a destination of their choice around the world with the minimum amount of fuss."

Courier services from the likes of FedEx, Parcelforce and City Link are all available through the Parcel2Go website, with each company offering a range of cost-effective international services and competitive postage rates.
