How much does it cost to ship to Bulgaria?

It depends on the weight, the dimensions and the service. Couriers charge on whichever is higher, the actual weight or the volumetric weight, which matters for bulky boxes of stock. Enter your parcel details and you'll see the final prices straight away.

How many days does delivery to Bulgaria take?

It depends on the service and the destination. The comparison shows the estimated time for each option before you book. There's no customs for Bulgaria, but mountain villages, Easter and national holidays make a difference. Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees.

Can the courier collect from my address?

Yes. The courier collects from your home, office or warehouse on the pickup day you choose when booking. All you need to do is have the parcel well packed.

How do I track my shipment?

You track it with the number you receive once your booking is complete. It shows every stage of the route up to delivery in Bulgaria, and you can share the number with the recipient so they know when to expect it.

Which courier should I choose for Bulgaria?

It depends on whether price or speed matters more. For Bulgaria you'll see DHL, UPS and FedEx, each with a price and an estimated time. For samples and documents with a deadline, go for the shortest estimate. For family parcels, go for the best price.

Are the prices I see final?

Yes, as long as weight and dimensions are declared correctly. Bulgaria is in the EU, so there are no import duties, VAT or customs charges for the recipient. Weigh and measure the parcel once it's sealed so the price is right from the start.

Sending a parcel from Greece to Bulgaria

Bulgaria is Greece's northern neighbour, and Greek businesses have customers, suppliers or subsidiaries there. That's why sending a parcel to Bulgaria often means samples, stock and documents, as well as gifts from Bulgarians living in Greece to their families. And the other way round: goods from Bulgarian suppliers.

On City Sender you see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, with the final price and estimated delivery time before you book. Bulgaria celebrates Orthodox Easter together with Greece, and has its own holidays too, such as 3 March and 24 May.

Bulgaria is in the EU, so your parcel travels without customs and with no import duties or VAT.

Useful information

Main cities: Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Ruse and Stara Zagora. Mountain villages in the Rhodopes and Rila often take longer.
Postcodes have 4 digits, e.g. 1000 Sofia.
Write the address in Latin characters, as the recipient gives it, so the courier can read it all along the route.
Intra-EU shipment: no customs, no import duties or VAT.
3 March, 6 May, 24 May (Saints Cyril and Methodius), 6 and 22 September and Orthodox Easter are public holidays.
