How much does it cost to ship to Italy?

It depends on the weight, the dimensions, the service and the destination, since Sicily, Sardinia and the smaller islands differ from Milan. Couriers charge on whichever is higher, the actual weight or the volumetric weight. Enter your parcel details and you'll see the final prices straight away.

How many days does delivery to Italy 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 Italy, but the islands and August, with Ferragosto, 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 Italy, and the recipient may get a text or email notification.

Which courier should I choose for Italy?

It depends on whether price or speed matters more. For Italy you'll see DHL, UPS and FedEx, each with a price and an estimated time. For samples going to a customer in Milan with a deadline, go for the shortest estimate. For the islands, compare the estimates carefully.

Are the prices I see final?

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

Only the Ionian Sea separates Greece and Italy. In Puglia's Grecìa Salentina, Griko is still spoken, Greek students study at Italian universities, and Greek businesses buy and sell in Italy every day. Sending a parcel to Italy means books and belongings for students, samples and goods for customers. And the other way round: spare parts and products from Italian suppliers.

On City Sender you see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, with the final price and estimated delivery time before you book. Sicily and Sardinia take longer, and around Ferragosto (15 August) many businesses close.

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

Useful information

Main cities: Rome, Milan, Naples, Turin, Bologna and Bari. Sicily, Sardinia and the smaller islands take longer.
The postcode (CAP) has 5 digits, followed by the province abbreviation, e.g. 00184 Roma RM.
Livigno and Campione d'Italia are outside the EU tax area. San Marino and the Vatican are separate states.
Intra-EU shipment: no customs, no import duties or VAT.
25 April, 2 June, Ferragosto (15 August) and 8 December are public holidays. In August many businesses close for the holidays.
