Who provides courier, packing and shipping services in Elstree?
PACK & SEND Enfield provides courier, professional packing, small moves and UK and international shipping for Elstree, the Hertfordshire village in the Hertsmere district, and for neighbouring Borehamwood, which shares the WD6 postcode district and the civil parish of Elstree and Borehamwood.
The two names are often used interchangeably, so this page covers both. PACK & SEND Enfield runs a Service Centre at 67 Windmill Hill, Enfield, London EN2 7AF, open 08.30 to 17.30, Monday to Friday, on 020 3621 2249. Elstree customers can book a collection from home or work. PACK & SEND Enfield takes on shipments that ordinary parcel services avoid: fragile, bulky, heavy and valuable items.
PACK & SEND Enfield is run by franchise owner Ravi Haldunia and belongs to the PACK & SEND network, which has more than 30 years of experience in worldwide deliveries. Visit the PACK & SEND Enfield Service Centre page or request a quote.
How is PACK & SEND different from a standard courier in Elstree?
PACK & SEND differs from a standard courier because PACK & SEND Enfield packs the item as well as moving it, and chooses the delivery service to suit what is being sent. A standard parcel courier expects goods to arrive boxed, within set size and weight limits, and offers a fixed menu of services.
PACK & SEND Enfield can collect an unpacked item from an Elstree or Borehamwood address, assess it, and pack it with specialist cushioning, reinforced cartons, protective wrapping, foam systems or a bespoke wooden crate. The team then books the right option, whether that is same day courier, next-day UK delivery, pallet freight, international courier, air freight or sea freight. Customs documentation is prepared for international consignments, and loss and damage protection options are available for eligible shipments. For an item that is already packed and under 30kg, PACK & SEND Online Self-Service offers a quicker route.

Parcels and same day courier from Elstree
PACK & SEND Enfield sends parcels from Elstree and Borehamwood by same day courier, next-day UK delivery and international express, collecting from the WD6 address so nothing has to be carried to a counter. Elstree has been on a main route into London for centuries: Daniel Defoe described it in 1748 as “a Village on the Roman Watling-street”, and that road still runs through the village as the A5183.
PACK & SEND Enfield uses the roads into London for same day courier jobs, with pricing based on the collection point, destination, size, weight, vehicle and deadline. Parcels that need packing are packed before dispatch, many services include tracking, and larger business consignments can travel as pallets or bulky freight. Customers with a box already sealed and under 30kg can book it through PACK & SEND Online Self-Service in a few minutes.

Furniture shipping and small moves in Elstree
PACK & SEND Enfield ships individual pieces of furniture, antique furniture and part-house moves from Elstree and Borehamwood to addresses across the UK and abroad. The parish is predominantly residential, so typical jobs include a chest of drawers going from a Borehamwood flat to a new home in Radlett, a dining table moving between Elstree and Edgware, a piece inherited from a house on Elstree Hill North going to family overseas, or a few rooms of furniture following someone to a new job elsewhere in the UK. Each piece is wrapped, padded and, if needed, crated or palletised, with extra care given to glass, marble, veneers and carved detail. Furniture then travels by road within the UK, or by sea or air freight internationally. PACK & SEND Enfield manages collection, packing and delivery as one job, so there is no van to hire and nothing to lift.
See small moves and furniture shipping.
Art and antiques shipping in Elstree
PACK & SEND Enfield packs and ships paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, antiques and collectables from Elstree to galleries, auction houses, dealers and private buyers in the UK and overseas. Elstree’s name is more than 1,200 years old: it comes from the Anglo-Saxon “Tidwulf’s Tree”, recorded as “Tidulfres treow” in a manuscript of an AD 786 charter. The village keeps listed buildings such as Elstree Hill House on Elstree Hill South, and St Nicholas Parish Church, designed by Philip Charles Hardwick.
When a painting, antique or heirloom from an Elstree or Borehamwood home is sold, valued, inherited or moved, PACK & SEND Enfield measures and assesses it, then protects it with specialist cushioning, foam or a bespoke wooden crate. LAPADA, the Association of Art & Antique Dealers, has approved PACK & SEND as a service provider.

IT and electronics shipping for Elstree and Borehamwood businesses
PACK & SEND Enfield packs and ships laptops, desktops, monitors, servers, printers, networking hardware and other electronics for businesses and home workers in Elstree and Borehamwood. Alongside its homes, the parish has light industry and office space, and Elstree & Borehamwood station connects WD6 directly to London St Pancras, about 12 miles away. PACK & SEND Enfield handles office relocations, equipment sent to and collected from staff working at home, returns to suppliers and urgent same day replacements. Monitors, drives and towers are packed with foam, protective wrapping and reinforced cartons so that connectors and screens arrive intact, and shipments containing lithium batteries are prepared to meet carrier requirements. For equipment travelling overseas, PACK & SEND Enfield prepares the customs documentation alongside the booking, and fragile or high-value hardware can travel in a bespoke wooden crate.

Musical instrument shipping in Elstree
PACK & SEND Enfield packs and ships guitars, violins, cellos, keyboards, brass, woodwind, drum kits and amplifiers from Elstree and Borehamwood to buyers, repairers, teachers, studios and venues across the UK and worldwide. Instruments fail in transit at their weakest points, so packing starts there: a guitar’s headstock and neck are supported, a violin’s bridge and soundpost area are protected from pressure, a keyboard is kept rigid so the keybed cannot flex, and the bell and keywork of a saxophone are held still. Empty space inside the case and the outer carton is then filled so nothing can shift. The most valuable instruments can travel in a bespoke wooden crate. PACK & SEND Enfield collects from any WD6 address and books UK or international delivery, preparing customs paperwork for instruments leaving the country.
See musical instrument shipping.
Lab and medical equipment courier in Elstree
PACK & SEND Enfield packs and transports medical devices, diagnostic and therapy equipment, and laboratory instruments for clinics, practices, laboratories and suppliers in Elstree and Borehamwood. Equipment of this kind often has requirements that a parcel network cannot meet, such as travelling upright, being cushioned against shock and vibration, declaring batteries or fluids, or arriving on a fixed date for installation or calibration. PACK & SEND Enfield assesses each item first, then specifies the protection, from foam systems and reinforced cartons to a bespoke wooden crate. Delivery can be arranged by same day courier, next-day UK service, pallet freight for heavier units or international air freight, with customs and shipping documentation prepared for overseas consignments. Collections can be made from any WD6 address, including both sides of the railway line.
See lab and medical equipment shipping.
Student shipping from Elstree
PACK & SEND Enfield ships students’ belongings from Elstree and Borehamwood to universities across the UK, home again at the end of term and overseas for study abroad. Instead of loading a car to the roof or carrying cases onto the train at Elstree & Borehamwood station, students can have boxes, suitcases, bedding, books, a bike and a laptop collected from a WD6 address and delivered by courier. PACK & SEND Enfield can supply boxes and cartons ahead of collection, pack the fragile items that usually break in a move, such as monitors, instruments and kitchenware, and give a UK or international price before anything is booked. International students heading home can send belongings separately as an alternative to excess baggage, and personal effects shipped overseas are supported with customs and shipping documentation.
See student shipping.
International shipping from Elstree
PACK & SEND Enfield ships from Elstree and Borehamwood to 80,000 locations worldwide by international courier, air freight and sea freight, with customs and shipping documentation prepared as part of the booking. PACK & SEND Enfield can send personal effects to family overseas, gifts, household goods, documents, business stock, samples and equipment for exhibitions or repair from any WD6 address. Air freight is usually the right choice for urgent or high-value goods, while sea freight costs less for larger consignments that can wait. Items going abroad can be packed or crated by PACK & SEND Enfield before collection, which matters most for long journeys with several handling points. PACK & SEND Enfield ships to destinations throughout Europe and to the USA, Canada, Australia and beyond, and can advise on the documents each destination requires before the shipment is booked.
