Send parcel to Italy

Wondering how to send a package to Italy? Ecoparcel makes it easier than ever. The days of browsing several courier sites, checking prices and delivery times are over. We have gathered all the confusing information, put it in order, and made it so that you can send a package to Italy in a matter of minutes.

All you need to do is enter the country you are sending it from, the destination country, and the package dimensions and weight. And the best part? You don’t go to an office or store to mail your package. Ecoparcel does all the hard work for you. A courier comes to your house at a predetermined time and picks it up free of charge. Simple, right? Now, on to the next step: the price.

The rates listed are clear and without any hidden costs. For added convenience, the estimated delivery times are also shown to help make your decision-making process easier. For example, you need to get an urgent document to Italy. Pick the quickest option and have it arrive in as little as 1-2 business days.

Of course, there are a few things to keep in mind. Voluminous packages can cost more even if the weight is just a few kilograms. That is because a bigger Parcel takes up more room when transporting. Try to reduce the size by using a small box if possible. Doing so not only lowers the transport cost but is also environmentally friendly.

Choosing the right courier is one factor that can significantly impact the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of shipping your parcel to Italy. Ecoparcel's platform partnered up with some of the best names in the logistics industry, providing you with cheap yet reliable courier services.

The options range from budget-friendly local carriers like Bartolini(for Italy), Schenker DB from Germany, and Estonia’s very own Omniva, just to name a few. These local carriers offer one of the cheapest ways to send parcels throughout Europe.

On the other hand, we also have access to premium international shippers, including DPD Logistics, GLS, FedEx, and DHL. These industry giants ensure that no matter the distance or time constraint, the best way to send a package to Europe is right at your fingertips.

Ecoparcel understands the ins and outs of the courier industry and this is one of the main reasons we offer a transparent comparison of services. We take into account factors like speed, price, and whether or not you need a printer for the delivery label.

We’ve done the legwork and put in the time to build a platform that is tailored to everyone's budget, including yours. Regardless if you choose a more economical option or a faster delivery, you are getting a reliable way to send a parcel to Italy that doesn’t compromise on quality.

Chances are you have sent a package before. But did you know there is a right and a wrong way to pack? Yes, this may come as news to some, but understanding how to pack is very important. Here is an insight on how to pack the most common objects sent by courier:

• Clothing and other non-fragile items

Clothes, shoes, and other non-fragile items get sent constantly via courier. Knowing how to fold clothes is essential to profit from every square cm of your shipping box. The roll-up method works best. Take each piece of clothing and fold it once (if it is a shirt, tuck the arms in), then roll them up lengthwise. You won't believe how much more room it frees up.

• Electronics

Unlike clothing, electronics can’t be folded up into a nice package. Laptops, tablets, and phones are fragile and need special care to ensure safe arrival to their destination. Having the original packaging of the item in question helps. If not, wrapping each item in bubble wrap is the next best option. Any additional space in the box should be filled with packing peanuts to help protect the item during transit. Pro Tip: Ecoparcel recommends using biodegradable packing peanuts as they are environmentally friendly.

• Documents

In today’s day and age, most documents are digital. However, occasionally, there is still a need to send a physical copy of a contract or document internationally. To ensure they arrive safely, make sure you put them in a folder first and ask the courier picking up the documents to put a “do not bend” label on it.

Knowing how to pack saves you time, money, and stress. Whether it’s your first time sending a package or a seasoned pro, these tips above will surely help.

Ecoparcel offers a transparent and user-friendly approach to understanding these expenses. So, how much does it cost to send a parcel to Italy? The price, size, and destination country primarily influence the price. The urgency of delivery is another crucial factor that can increase the price.

The good news is that Ecoparcel’s platform allows customers to receive upfront pricing from various couriers, which allows you to choose the most cost-effective option for your parcel. The upfront pricing allows for better budgeting and eliminates hidden fees that sometimes come with shipping costs.

Discounts are another reason why clients choose Ecoparcel. New customers can benefit from promotional discounts, and regular users profit from loyalty points that make shipping even more affordable. Additionally, Ecoparcel has the best rates with courier services thanks to our high volume of business, which can translate to lower costs for you.

On top of that, Ecoparcel also provides additional services that contribute to the overall cost-effectiveness of sending a parcel to Italy. These include complimentary insurance up to €100, ensuring that your parcel is protected against loss or damage at no additional cost to you. Lastly, the ease of use of our platform and being able to book a courier pick-up from the comfort of your home saves you money by reducing the time and resources you would otherwise spend on physically going to a post or courier service office.

In the event that a parcel you've sent through Ecoparcel arrives damaged, you can claim compensation. If visible damage is present on delivery, ask the courier to complete a damage report. If the goods inside are damaged, or if there are items missing, contact the courier service as soon as possible. Take plenty of pictures, as these will be necessary when filing your claim.

Next, you will need to start the claims process with the courier. This involves providing all required information about the parcel and the type of damage. Keep in mind that claims are typically time-sensitive. The sooner you can report the issue and begin the claims process, the better.

After filing your claim, the courier company provides an evaluation and proceeds with the compensation process according to their policies and the insurance coverage of your parcel.

It's important to remember that prohibited or restricted items and improper packaging may result in a rejected claim. Following our packing guide guidelines listed above is crucial for ensuring your items are protected during transit and eligible for compensation in the unfortunate case of a damaged or lost parcel.

For a better understanding of what to do if you receive a damaged parcel and how to file a claim, we recommend reviewing the specific guidelines and terms provided by the courier you used. In addition to that, Ecoparcel’s customer service department can help with the entire process.
