Send an Envelope Within Greece or Abroad

Sending an envelope with City Sender is the simplest way to send documents by courier: choose the destination, see prices and estimated delivery times from DHL, UPS, FedEx, ELTA Courier and others side by side, and book online. City Sender is a Greek courier comparison and booking platform, with prices up to 60% lower than booking the same service directly with the courier.

An envelope in the City Sender form means a shipment of documents up to 2 kg: contracts, certificates, diplomas, paperwork for embassies and universities, invoices or business correspondence. If there is also an item inside, it is no longer a documents shipment and should be declared as a parcel.

For urgent documents, such as signed contracts or paperwork with a deadline, choose an express service. The comparison shows the estimated delivery time of each service before you book, so you know in advance whether your envelope will make it. If you are not in a hurry, a more economical service may cost less.

Abroad, couriers handle documents shipments differently from shipments of goods, and the classification can vary by country. So declare exactly what the envelope contains. For countries outside the EU, if the envelope contains anything that is not a document, an invoice may be needed and import duties, taxes or fees may apply under the destination country's rules.

Before sending originals, keep copies or scans. Put the documents in a clear plastic sleeve inside a sturdy or cardboard envelope so they don't bend or get wet. Write the recipient's full address, postcode and mobile number, as the courier may need to call them.

With the tracking number you can follow the envelope at every step until delivery. If something goes wrong, you talk to a real person on the City Sender team, who replies within 20 minutes during business hours and coordinates the case with the courier.
