How much does it cost to ship to Hungary?

It depends on the weight, the dimensions and the service. Couriers charge on whichever is higher, the actual weight or the volumetric weight, so a heavy box of olive oil is priced differently from a light box of books. Enter your parcel details and you'll see the final prices straight away.

How many days does delivery to Hungary 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 Hungary, but remote areas and national holidays make a difference compared with Budapest. 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 Hungary, and you can share the number with the recipient so they know when to expect it.

Which courier should I choose for Hungary?

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

Are the prices I see final?

Yes, as long as weight and dimensions are declared correctly. Hungary 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 Hungary

Near Budapest there's a village called Beloiannisz, built by Greek refugees from the Civil War. Hungary's Greek community still keeps close ties with Greece, and sending a parcel to Hungary often means olive oil, feta, gifts and documents for relatives. Books for students and samples for customers travel too.

On City Sender you see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, with the final price and estimated delivery time before you book. The public holidays on 15 March, 20 August and 23 October affect deliveries to offices.

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

In blocks of flats, the floor and door are written like 3. em. 12. Keep the Hungarian letters (á, é, í, ó, ö, ő, ú, ü, ű) too.
Intra-EU shipment: no customs, no import duties or VAT.
15 March, 20 August (St Stephen's Day), 23 October and 1 November are public holidays, when deliveries to offices stop.
