Send parcel to Czech Republic

Standard shipping prices to Czech Republic 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.

In terms of delivery to the Czech Republic you should expect a completion time of around 1-3 days. As mentioned in the pricing section, some of our partner companies may offer something different depending on what you go with.

While standard delivery is slower, it is cheaper, meanwhile urgent shipping offers will cost more but will provide faster delivery times.

We should mention, however, that during peak shipping seasons like the holiday period, companies will usually offer special deals that are optimal in both speed and pricing, especially if you're sending to a major Czech city during the time.

So, if you're in no rush, wait until there are some major discounts and send them.

Yes we do. As standard, every parcel sent to the Czech Republic, even the smallest ones, offers a completely free-of-charge insurance coverage of €100.

However, since most businesses will be sending parcels that are worth much more than that, we also offer the option to purchase additional insurance in order to guarantee complete safety of delivery.

Since Czechia is a member of the European Union it follows clear rules in terms of what parcels can be imported and which are forbidden.

Before you place a quote on our website, make sure that there are no import restrictions on the item you're sending and that it complies with the internal shipping rules from our partners.

Here are the most common items for each category.

Items you're allowed to send

• Food items that are properly packaged and preserved
• Toiletries and cosmetics which are still in their original packaging
• Electronic devices with batteries in separate compartment
• Medicinal items vital to a person's health

Items you cannot send

• Narcotic and psychotropic substances
• Poisonous and caustic substances
• Guns and explosives
• Pyrotechnics

and so on.

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

In terms of weight limitations, for packages arriving to the Czech Republic, EU rules apply, which means one shouldn't weigh more than 30-50kg depending on the offer you select.

If you're sending something small, that's probably fine, however, businesses often send significantly heavier items, which could pose a risk of a shipment weight too much.

In this case, we suggest splitting your parcel into multiple parts. If you're sending something weighing around 60 kg, one way to avoid breaching the rules could be to split your item in two parcels weighing either 30 + 30 kg or 50 + 10 kg.

Do this for all of your items and you should be okay.

From the EU

The Czech Republic has been a member of the European Union since 2004, which means that standard customs duty applies for parcels coming from other members states with no special requirements apart from a typical checkup at arrival.

From the UK

Since the UK has formally left the EU, the deliveries arriving from the country to EU territory are considered to be of foreign origin. This means additional documentation and inspection leaving from the UK and arriving at the Czech Republic.

One of the benefits of sending your parcel with EcoParcel is the possibility to track your shipment at any time you want. For all updates and expected arrival dates, simply enter your unique item ID on our website.

We often hear people raising questions about not being able to see updates instantly. It should be noted that the first updates on your parcel could take up to 24 hours to appear on the platform.

This is because our partner companies scan each arriving item by hand which takes a significant time if the demand is high.

No updates for 24 hours

If you don't see any updates after the first 24 hours, contact us immediately as there might be a serious issue with your parcel in terms of its labeling or packaging.

We reckon that the Czech Republic shouldn't only be looked at as a destination for trade, but rather quite a welcoming place for tourists as well.

The people here are one of the friendliest one can meet in Europe. Mate that with a rich history and unique culture and you have yourself the perfect recipe for a great holiday time.

• Population (as of 2021 census): around 10,7 million
• Capital city: Prague
