Parcel Tycoon Guide: First steps when you start out
About
OverviewParcel Tycoon puts you in charge of a rundown delivery company that a long-lost relative left behind — starting with a concrete slab and one table. You pack every order by hand, dragging items into boxes, wrapping the fragile ones, and taping it all shut before it ships. This guide walks you through paying off your debt, earning perfect packs, expanding your depots, and landing the rarest deliveries.

First steps when you start out
Step
You inherit the company deep in debt — the bank, through Mr. Grimsby, takes 30% of every dollar you ship until you pay him back in full. Follow the tutorial to pack and send your very first parcel, which earns you the First Delivery badge. After that, every shipment you complete chips away at what you owe.
- Pack your first parcel drag each item into the box, tape it shut, and stamp it correctly to complete the delivery.
- Clear the debt once you have paid every dollar back, the Debt Free badge unlocks.
- Buy a Delivery Van purchasing your own van for the company unlocks the On the Road badge.
How to earn a Perfect Pack
Tips
The inspector grades every parcel you send. A PERFECT rating means you used the space well, protected what needed protecting, and finished the job correctly. Smaller boxes pay more when packed tightly, so choosing the right box size is part of the skill.
- Rotate and tilt every item as you place it to close up gaps inside the box.
- Wrap fragile items before dropping them in — packing them unwrapped hurts your rating.
- Pick the smallest box that can hold everything; a snug fit earns bonus cash on top of the base pay.
- Tape the box shut and apply the correct stamp before you send it.
