Send parcel to Poland

If you've sent a parcel with us or another courier before, you know perfectly well that the EU implements certain weight restrictions for an individual parcel ranging between 30 and 50 kilogram. When sending your item to Poland, the same restrictions apply.

However, we often see businesses keen on sending large items to another country, especially larger retailers.

This means that they have to do something when it comes to squeezing in within those limitations.

But what can be done?

A solution that we always present to our clients is to simply split up their shipments into smaller containers.

Let's say a business wants to send something weighing around 170kgs. The parcel can be split up to multiple ones like this 50kg + 50kg + 50kg + 20kg. In this case a person or business entity will not violate the EU weight regulations.

As standard, we offer €100 worth of insurance for all of our shipments being delivered to Poland. Naturally, sometimes people are sending items that are valued at much more than that. For those cases, we recommend purchasing additional coverage to ensure maximum safety.

Regulations for EU members

Since Poland is an EU member itself, standard shipping rules apply for packages coming from other member states. As such, you won't be required to do any additional customs duty apart from a typical check up.

Regulations for shipments from the UK and to Poland

Because of Brexit, shipments from the UK are now treated as those of foreign origin. Because of this, additional customs duty and paperwork is necessary for both business and private senders trying to send a parcel to Poland from the UK.

The exact price of your shipments to Poland will depend on the type of offer you select from one of your partner companies

If you're keen on getting your package to the country as soon as possible, naturally, you'll be looking at express options that can guarantee maximum speed, albeit for a bigger price. Otherwise, standard options can be a great way to send something for cheap if you don't mind a longer waiting time.

Typically our shipping prices start from €11.99.

Poland follows similar restrictions as other EU members in terms of what can and cannot be imported to the country.

Some of these items include:

• Hazardous products and chemicals
• Alcoholic beverages
• All types of drugs including prescription and non-prescription
• Cosmetics like cologne and perfume, etc.
• Batteries
• Magnetized products

Among other things.

Possible update issues

If you don't immediately see updates after your parcel has been picked up, there's usually nothing to worry about, because all of our courier partners use handheld devices to scan each parcel individually. This means that it might take a bit for updates to appear, but no more than 24 hours.

I don't see any updates after 24hrs

In that case, be sure to immediately check up with our team as there might indeed be issues with your parcel.

On average, a typical delivery to Poland takes 1-3 days to arrive. However, the specific time also depends on the type of offer you get from one of our trusted partners.

An express option will be faster, but will cost a bit more, whereas a standard delivery comes cheaper although takes a bit longer as well.

If you're sending to larger cities, however, sometimes special offers are available, especially during the holiday seasons. Those offers often come with a great price and a rapid delivery time.

Poland is a country which often gets overlooked when it comes to travel both business and casually, which is quite unfortunate. If you're a keen explorer of unique cultures and fascinating history, then Poland is definitely a worthy place for you to visit.

So, the next time you want to send a parcel to Poland, consider it as one of your holiday options as well.
