Send parcel to Slovakia

Standard shipping prices to Slovakia start at €11.99 with EcoParcel. Naturally, the exact price tag may differ depending on which type of offer you go with.

You see express shipping options usually with a bigger price, however, in return they ensure much faster delivery than standard ones.

Speaking about standard shipping, while it does take a bit longer for a delivery to be complete, it can also be a means to save some money, if that's what you're looking for.

The same pattern here follows as with the pricing.

Express or same-day delivery solutions will come with a heftier price tag, but will guarantee that your package takes priority over others. On the contrary, standard shipping will be much cheaper, but will also come with a slower delivery time.

On average, a parcel to Slovakia from your country should be delivered in around 1-3 days.

For those that want an option that's balanced in both price and delivery, one could look for special discounts and offers from our partner companies.

These typically pop-up around the holidays when demands take to another level.

As we mentioned earlier, we at EcoParcel believe that having a set of partner companies that we can rely on is one of the main reasons why we can guarantee such a high quality delivery service to the Slovak republic.

Some of the partners we work with include:

• DPD
• Itella
• UPS
• FedEx
• Bartolini
• GLS
• SDA Poste

and many others.

All that you need to do in order to request a shipment to the Slovak republic is simply placing a request for a quest on our website and you should see many offers pop-up from all of our partners.

For every delivery going out to the Slovak republic we offer a completely free insurance option for up to €100.

If you prefer to ship items that are valued higher than that we recommend purchasing extra insurance to ensure maximum safety for your packages.

Yes there are. The maximum weight of a single parcel that you're allowed to send to Slovakia is either 30 or 50 kg depending on what one of our couriers offer.

For personal shipments the restrictions in terms of weight might not be that much of a concern, however, we reckon that businesses oriented around heavy parcels might find themselves at risk in terms of fitting within the rules.

As a possible solution, we suggest you split your parcel that you're shipping into multiple parts. If something weighs around 100 kg, you can split that into two parcels of 50 + 50kg, three weighing 50+30+20kg and so on.

As standard, we also offer the ability to track your shipment via a unique ID, which you can enter on our website and see what's what regarding your delivery.

If you don't have an immediate update on your parcel after pick up - no need to worry. It's likely that one of our couriers is yet to scan your package and updates should appear within the first 24 hours.

What if I don't see any updates after the 1st day?

If that's the case for you, contact the EcoParcel support team immediately as there may indeed be something wrong with your delivery.

If your parcel is from the EU

Since Slovakia 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 Slovakia. 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.

Slovakia has a clear set of rules for what kinds of parcels are allowed and forbidden from being imported to the country.

Make sure that your item doesn't violate these laws before you place your final delivery order on our website.

Below we list some common items in each category.

Allowed goods

• Various consumer electronics
• Food items that are properly packaged and contained
• Clothing items
• Jewellery and other expensive items

Forbidden goods

• Flammable items
• All types of drugs
• Guns, explosives, ammunition, etc.
• Tobacco and alcohol

and so on.

For more information about what you can or cannot send to the Slovakia, check the internal rules from one of our partners companies you're going with as well as the Czech customs office.

Slovakia is definitely a country that is not on many people's radar when it comes to visiting or spending a holiday. We think, however, that this should change.

Friendly people, amazing nature as well a fascinating culture awaits each keen visiting tourist. So, keep this in mind the next time you're planning to go somewhere abroad.
