Its the same thing although in northern UK we say package if we expect it to be a big item and parcel for something smaller for example my mum says you got a parcel I would know it’s something relatively small like in a Jiffy bag but if she said you have a package I’d know it was a box of some kind (I think that’s quite a colloquial usage though it could differ in other regions ) 😊

These two essentially has same meaning. Package is most often heard words in the US. But I have seen people who are from Eastern part of US also use parcel.

In the U.S., the word "package" is more common. But sometimes we hear "parcel."
