# Sending a Parcel in English: Asking About Price and Tracking

_The Unscript team · October 6, 2026_

You are sending a parcel abroad and are not in a hurry. These four lines help you give the destination, ask about the cheapest service, check whether tracking is included, and make your choice.

### What to say at the counter

> **You:** To Germany, and it is not urgent.

When the clerk asks **Where is this going?**, start with the destination. **To Germany** answers that question; replace Germany with the country you need. **It is not urgent** tells the clerk that speed is not your priority.

> **You:** How much is the cheapest option?

Once the clerk has weighed the parcel, ask what the cheapest service costs. **How much** asks about the price. Here, **option** means an available postal service, and **cheapest** identifies the one with the lowest price.

> **You:** Is there tracking with that price?

After hearing a price, check whether it includes tracking. **That price** refers to the amount just quoted, and **tracking** means checking your parcel's progress. Ask before choosing the service.

> **You:** Then the cheapest option suits me.

The clerk replies **Yes, tracking is included.** Now you can confirm your choice. **Then** connects your decision to that answer; **suits me** means the service meets your needs.

### Now say it yourself

Cover the English and say these four ideas aloud: give Germany as the destination and say it is not urgent / ask the price of the cheapest service / ask whether that price includes tracking / choose the cheapest service.
