How much does it cost to ship to Portugal?

It depends on the weight, the dimensions, the service and the destination, since the Azores and Madeira differ from the mainland. 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 Portugal 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 Portugal, but the distance, the Atlantic islands and the June festivals 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 Portugal, and the recipient may get a text or email notification.

Which courier should I choose for Portugal?

It depends on whether price or speed matters more. For Portugal you'll see DHL, UPS and FedEx, each with a price and an estimated time. For Lisbon or Porto the differences tend to be smaller. For the Azores or Madeira, compare the estimates carefully.

Are the prices I see final?

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

Lisbon and Porto are home to Greeks working remotely, Erasmus students and people employed by international companies. Sending a parcel to Portugal usually means clothes, books, olive oil and gifts from home, as well as samples for customers. And the other way round: documents and personal items heading back 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. Portugal is at the other end of Europe, and the Azores and Madeira take longer than the mainland.

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

Useful information

Main cities: Lisbon, Porto, Braga, Coimbra and Faro in the Algarve.
Postcodes have 7 digits with a hyphen, e.g. 1100-148 Lisboa. Always write the full code.
The Azores and Madeira are part of Portugal and the EU, but as Atlantic islands they take longer.
Intra-EU shipment: no customs, no import duties or VAT.
On 25 April, 10 June and local festivals (St Anthony in Lisbon on 13 June, St John in Porto on 24 June), offices close.
