Cheap Parcel Delivery and Sending Mail to the Isle of Wight (2025)

Here's our guide to the cheapest way to send parcels and mail to the Isle of Wight, particularly for eBay and Amazon sellers.

Some couriers and parcel companies charge an add on fee for sending post to the Isle of Wight - despite it being an English county. Others charge the same rate. Royal Mail is the cheapest and simplest option for standard sized letters but some competitors are cheaper for parcels.

We’ve done a comparison of typical parcel sizes. Our tests are:
  • from the Midlands to the Isle of Wight in December 2024
  • retail prices, not business prices
  • including VAT
  • the basics (no signature, low value items, no compensation, arrive within a week)
  • pickup from your residential address. Delivery to a residential address. Some places are cheaper if you send it to a depot or a collection point. But really, who wants that...?
  • based on price only, no guarantee of quality of service.
