How much does it cost to ship to the Netherlands?

It depends on the weight, the dimensions, the service and the destination, since the Caribbean islands are very different from the European Netherlands. 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 the Netherlands 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 the European Netherlands, but the Wadden Islands and holidays such as 27 April 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 the Netherlands, and the recipient may get a text or email notification.

Which courier should I choose for the Netherlands?

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

Are the prices I see final?

Yes for the European Netherlands, as long as weight and dimensions are declared correctly. There are no import duties, VAT or customs charges for the recipient there. For Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba, which are outside the EU, import duties, 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 the Netherlands

The Netherlands is a trade hub for the whole of Europe, with the port of Rotterdam and food distributors that also stock Greek products. At the same time, Greek engineers, researchers and students live in Amsterdam, Eindhoven and Utrecht. So sending a parcel to the Netherlands means samples, documents and personal parcels, in both directions.

On City Sender you see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, with the final price and estimated delivery time before you book. King's Day (27 April) and the Easter and Whitsun holidays affect deliveries to offices.

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

Useful information

Main cities: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven. The Wadden Islands in the north take longer.
Postcodes have 4 digits and 2 letters, e.g. 1012 AB Amsterdam. Without the letters the address is incomplete.
House numbers often have an addition (e.g. 12-II or 12A) that shows the floor or flat. Write it exactly.
European Netherlands: intra-EU shipment, no customs, no import duties or VAT. Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba are outside the EU.
King's Day (27 April), Ascension Day, Whit Monday and Christmas are public holidays.

Yes. On City Sender, prices are up to 60% lower than booking the same service directly with the courier. You see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, each with a final price and estimated delivery time, so you don't have to request quotes one by one. If an importer in Rotterdam is waiting for samples to make a decision, pick the fastest option and book it online.
