Why We Use Royal Mail & DHL to Get Your Snacks Delivered Fast and Safe

When you order crisps, sweets, or snacks from us, you want two things:

1. To actually get what you paid for.
2. To get it fast — without any hassle.

We get it. And we agree.

That’s why at Snacks Online, we only use delivery partners we can trust. Ones that don’t leave your parcel sitting in a depot for a week. Ones that know how to handle a box of Scampi Fries or Space Raiders without turning it into confetti.

We use Royal Mail and DHL because they deliver the goods — literally.

Royal Mail — Trusted for Over 500 Years

There’s a reason Royal Mail has been around since 1516. They know what they’re doing. From the middle of London to the back end of nowhere, they cover every postcode.

Why we use Royal Mail for your snack deliveries:

• Covers every corner of the UK
• Fast, reliable service (even to the Highlands and Islands)
• Tracking on your orders, so you know exactly where your parcel is
• Greener delivery options — cutting carbon where they can

For small orders and single boxes of snacks, Royal Mail is our first choice. Simple, reliable, does what it says on the tin.

DHL — Built for Bulk, Business, and Bigger Orders

Ordering by the case? Wholesale deal? Need it there sharpish?
That’s where DHL comes in.

DHL is known for speed, tracking, and looking after your parcel from start to finish — especially when we’re talking bigger orders.

Why we trust DHL:

• Next-day and express delivery options
• Signature on delivery for added peace of mind
• Full tracking (including where your driver is on the day)
• Investing in electric vehicles and greener logistics

If you’re buying in bulk, there’s a good chance your crisps will be riding in a DHL van.

Why We Don’t Use the Cheap Couriers

Sure, there are cheaper options out there. But we’ve learned the hard way that cheap delivery often ends up costing more — broken boxes, lost parcels, unhappy customers.

We’d rather pay a bit more and know that your order is in safe hands.

Our aim is simple:
You get your snacks. You get them fast. You get them safe.
No drama. No nonsense.
