What the report can show

What this report can and cannot show

The report describes anonymous completed international deliveries observed by Parcels. It does not count every parcel worldwide, predict one parcel or rate a delivery company.

What this report does not claim

Country and route shares refer only to the completed deliveries observed by Parcels in this report, not to trade, demand or market share.

Delivery times describe completed deliveries only. Parcels that were still travelling are not included.

05 How we measured it

How we made this report

The report period runs from 20 July 2026 to 16 August 2026 and contains 453 331 completed deliveries. We include only completed international deliveries with known origin and destination countries.

Which deliveries are included?

We include completed international deliveries from the report period. A country report uses deliveries ending in that country.

How should I read the delivery times?

‘Half arrived within’ splits completed deliveries into two equal groups. The displayed range covers roughly 8 in 10 completed deliveries; about 1 in 10 was quicker and about 1 in 10 took longer.

‘Most deliveries’ means roughly 8 in 10 completed deliveries in this report. Past observations are not a promised delivery time for one parcel.
