Shipping between Greece and the UK

What it is

Sending a parcel to the UK with City Sender means door-to-door express courier with DHL, UPS or FedEx, compared and booked online. Since Brexit the UK is outside the EU, so the parcel goes through customs and needs an invoice with a proper description.

Who it's for

Greek students at UK universities, Greeks and Cypriots living in London and other cities, Greek businesses with customers in the UK, and anyone sending from the UK to Greece.

When to use it

From Greece to the UK, when a student in Manchester needs books and winter clothes, or when a customer in London is waiting for samples. From the UK to Greece, when degree certificates and documents need to arrive, or when a British supplier ships spare parts.

Sending a parcel from Greece to the UK

In London you can see the Greek presence from St Sophia's Cathedral in Bayswater to the Greek and Cypriot shops of Palmers Green. Greek students study at British universities, and Greek businesses sell in the UK. Sending a parcel to the UK means books and belongings for students, samples and goods for customers. And the other way round: documents, degree certificates and spare parts heading to Greece.

On City Sender you see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, with the final shipping price and estimated delivery time before you book. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are covered too, with different delivery times.

Since Brexit, the parcel goes through customs. You'll need a commercial invoice with a detailed description, and import duties, taxes or fees may apply, normally paid by the recipient.

Useful information

  • Main cities: London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
  • The postcode mixes letters and numbers, e.g. SW1A 1AA, and goes after the town.
  • Since Brexit: a non-EU shipment with customs and a commercial invoice.
  • Northern Ireland: special arrangements (Windsor Framework). Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man are not part of the UK.
  • Bank holidays (e.g. early and late May, late August) and the Christmas break affect pickups and deliveries.
