How much does it cost to ship to Finland?

It depends on the weight, the dimensions, the service and the destination, since Lapland and Åland differ from Helsinki. Couriers charge on whichever is higher, the actual weight or the volumetric weight, which matters for bulky boxes of winter clothes. Enter your parcel details and you'll see the final prices straight away.

How many days does delivery to Finland take?

It depends on the service and the destination. The comparison shows the estimated time for each option before you book. In Finland, the distance to Lapland, customs clearance for Åland and holidays such as Juhannus make a difference. Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees.

Can the courier collect from my address?

Yes. The courier collects from your home or office 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 Finland, and the recipient may get a text or email notification.

Which courier should I choose for Finland?

It depends on whether price or speed matters more. For Finland you'll see DHL, UPS and FedEx, each with a price and an estimated time. For Helsinki the differences tend to be smaller. For Lapland or Åland, compare the estimates carefully.

Are the prices I see final?

Yes for mainland Finland, as long as weight and dimensions are declared correctly. There are no import duties, VAT or customs charges for the recipient there. For the Åland Islands, which are outside the EU tax area, taxes or fees may apply. They are not included in the price and are normally charged to the recipient.

Sending a parcel from Greece to Finland

Finland stretches from Helsinki in the south to Lapland above the Arctic Circle. Sending a parcel to Finland usually means clothes, books, olive oil and gifts for Greeks living in Helsinki and Tampere, as well as samples for customers. And the other way round: documents and things from Finns with ties to Greece.

On City Sender you see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, with the final price and estimated delivery time before you book. Lapland takes longer than the south, and Juhannus in June and 6 December close offices.

Mainland Finland is in the EU, so your parcel travels without customs and with no import duties or VAT. The Åland Islands are outside the EU tax area and need a customs declaration.

Useful information

Main cities: Helsinki, Espoo, Tampere, Turku and Oulu. Lapland, including Rovaniemi, often takes longer.
Postcodes have 5 digits and go before the town, e.g. 00100 Helsinki.
The Åland Islands belong to Finland but are outside the EU tax area, so shipments there need customs paperwork.
Mainland Finland: intra-EU shipment, no customs, no import duties or VAT.
Juhannus (Midsummer, late June), July, when many people are on holiday, and Independence Day (6 December) affect deliveries to offices.
