Parcel Simulator Beginner Guide & Tips
Written by Andrew Hammel
Parcel Simulator starts simple but ramps up fast. You’ll begin with a tiny inspection room and some basic tools, but it won’t be long before you’re juggling flags, weight classes, serial numbers, and contracts... all while dreaming of conveyor belts.
Here’s everything you need to know to get started and make your first upgrades count.
Getting Started Right
Open Your Gate to Start the Day
Once you wake up in your container, the day won’t officially begin until you open the delivery gate.
Collect and Trash Bags
You’ll usually find trash bags outside. Tossing them earns you a few coins. Free money for being tidy.
Use the Tablet
Press T to open your tablet. This is where you manage:
Cargo types (road, rail, air, maritime)
Country flags and names
Billing, shop, licenses, and upgrades
Daily email objectives
Get familiar with the tablet early. You'll use it constantly.
Basic Parcel Inspection
Step-by-Step
Place a parcel on the table
Rotate and inspect it
Check cargo type (e.g., road, rail)
Match the flag and country name
Check weight class once you buy a scale
Add approval or denial sticker
Drop it into the correct chute
Submit in batches of 8 to make bonus money
Make mistakes and you lose money. Get it right and your streak earns you more over time.
Weight Class Chart (after buying scale)
A: 0–5 kg
B: 0–10 kg
C: 0–15 kg
D: 0–20 kg
E: 0–30 kg
If the weight goes over the class limit, it fails automatically.
Pre-Inspected Parcels
Some come with stickers already on them. If the sticker's green and the cargo type is valid for the day, you're good. Just toss them in.
The more upgrades you get, the more pre-inspected parcels you’ll see.
Earning and Submitting Batches
You earn much more money by submitting 8 at a time. Both approvals and denials count toward your batch. Make a pile before you hit submit.
You can also process parcels after 5:00 p.m., even if no more trucks arrive. Just toss them out early and inspect at night.
Key Upgrades and Licenses
Industrial Scales
Needed for weight checks
License boosts payout per parcel
Serial Number Scanner
Lets you verify the 9-digit code
Unlocks at Tier II
Conveyor Deliveries

Needed before installing automation like scanners
Costs 1,500 plus expansion
Automation Scanners

Contracts
After expanding your warehouse, contracts unlock. These give bonus pay for meeting simple goals like:
Send 2 parcels to a specific country
Send 4 parcels with rail cargo type
No inspection required, just matching the basic requirement.
Use contracts to make extra money while doing your normal work.
Layout Tips
Keep table close to the gate
Place scale beside the table
Drop parcels in a pile, then sort
Use pallets to group contracts or future deliveries
Expansion Strategy
Focus on scales and licenses first
Submit full batches, never one at a time
Save up for Warehouse Tier 2, then go for conveyors and scanners
Keep your accuracy up to boost passive income
Use contracts smartly for side money
Final Blurb
Parcel Simulator starts with slow days and manual work, but every smart upgrade brings you closer to a fully automated empire of conveyor belts and instant approvals.
Stay accurate, submit in batches, and grind until the machines do the boring stuff for you.
