Send parcel to Sweden

Again, the time for a delivery to be complete depends on the parcel shipping type you choose from one of our courier partners. Express parcel delivery options will be completed sooner, however, that will result in a bigger price tag. Meanwhile, standard deliveries will be slower, but at the same time, cheaper.

With our courier partners, the average time for a parcel to reach Sweden is around 1-3 days.

It's important to mention that on special occasions (like the holiday season), some couriers offer special discounts for shipments to bigger Swedish cities. This may result in both a good price and a fast delivery time, so keep on the lookout if you're planning to send something during this time period.

If you send parcels on the regular, you know fully well that there are limits imposed for the maximum weight allowed on a single parcel. For those that don't know, here's a reminder. One can send a parcel weighing either 30 or 50 kg at the max, depending on what a courier allows.

While not a huge concern for private shipments, knowing about the limits might be useful for businesses that often send items that weigh much more than that. A possible solution to this would be to simply split the shipment in order to stay within the limit.

For example - a parcel weighing 130 kg could be split up into three parcels of 50 + 50 + 30 kg, or five 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 10 kg if that works better for you.

Parcel tracking has long been a standard feature within the shipping industry as people prefer to receive the latest info on their shipment, whenever they want to. To do this when sending with EcoParcel, simply enter your tracking ID on our website and you'll see the latest information.

It's important to note, however, that sometimes updates aren't immediate after your parcel has been picked up. This is due to the fact that most of our courier partners scan each incoming shipment by hand, which can take longer on days with heavy traffic. First updates should appear within 24 hours.

What if I still don't see anything after 24hrs?

In that case, something indeed might be wrong with your parcel. Be sure to immediately contact our support team.

Sending a parcel to Sweden from the EU

For parcels being imported from other EU member states, customs regulations are much more relaxed than normal. Apart from a typical checkup upon arrival, you won't be requested any additional notices or documentation.

Sending a parcel to Sweden from the UK

Since the United Kingdom's official leave from the union, the trade relationship between the two parties has been a bit more complex. Nowadays every parcel coming from the UK is treated as of foreign origin, which does mean a more complex procedure upon leave from the UK and arrival in Sweden in terms of check ups and documentation.

When it comes to items you're allowed to import, Sweden has a clear set of rules of what is restricted and not restricted.

Before you place a quote on our website, make sure that none of your items are forbidden from being sent to Sweden.

If your parcel is from the EU

Since Sweden has been a member of the European Union for a while now, standard customs procedure follows for every imported parcel. This means just a typical check upon arrival without any need for extra documentation or any special customs duty.

If your parcel is from the UK

For parcel senders from the UK, additional customs duty will be required after arriving in Sweden. This is because after Brexit, items from the UK are considered of foreign origin in the EU. Additional documentation will be required from UK institutions as well.

Sweden is a country that while isn't the last on my traveler's list, we still feel is quite underrated when it comes to business or casual visits.

It's amazing cities and historical legacy, paired with very friendly people, should be one of the top priorities for many. So, the next time you plan on heading to Scandinavia, consider the country.
