WHAT CAN YOU SHIP

Types of standard shipments you can send

Boxes

Ideal for shipping small amounts of items between individuals or businesses.

Packaging tips:

Add enough cushioning materials to keep the items safe during transit.
Seal it properly with duct tape and add the label if needed.

Suitcases

Usually shipped from or to holiday destinations, containing personal or sports items.

Packaging tips:

Cushion your items enough so that they will not move during transit.
Wrap it in stretch foil, including the wheels and handle. Add the label if needed.

While some courier companies will accept to ship suitcases, it is highly recommended to use additional cardboard boxes as final packaging, as they are less prone to damage. If your shipping route includes the United Kingdom, Poland, Czech Republic and Austria, the items must be packed in cardboard boxes according to the couriers’ policies.

Frequently asked questions about standard shipping

Can a standard shipment be delivered over the weekend?

When using the standard shipping service, pickups and deliveries are not available during the weekend.

Exceptionally, if the delivery address is located in a remote or rural area, couriers may offer deliveries only on certain days of the week which might include Saturdays.
Does Eurosender provide cardboard boxes or stretch foil?

It is the customer’s responsibility to protect and correctly package the items to be shipped. Even though Eurosender doesn’t provide packaging materials at the moment, we do offer extensive guides on how to properly package different types of items.

How long is the estimated delivery time when sending standard shipments?

Depending on the selected route, the delivery time may vary between 3 and 7 business days if you choose the Standard service or even shorter times if you upgrade it to the Priority. Our system calculates the estimated delivery time for your specific route during the booking process, so you will always have this information before paying for the service.

Can I send a letter, a postcard, or documents by standard courier services?

Yes, as long as they are well packaged, you can send paper documents, letters or even pictures by standard courier services. We strongly suggest using padded or cardboard envelopes to assure the safety of the content. Have in mind that, since the standard courier services are meant to be used for parcels, your paper items will be treated as such. If you plan to send important documents such as contracts or passports, we strongly suggest you consider using our specialised Document Shipping Service.

Can padded envelopes be used as packaging when shipping standard parcels?

Yes, when sending standard parcels, you can opt for packaging them in boxes or padded envelopes, depending on the type of item you wish to ship. However, we still suggest using small boxes instead since they are more resistant and can ensure better protection during transit, even when shipping smaller objects and items that could easily fit in cardboard or padded envelopes.

Can I ship duffle or sports bags without packaging?

When shipping a standard package, you should have in mind that your goods will be handled, loaded, and unloaded multiple times. Therefore, if you decide to ship duffle or sports bags, make sure to always pack them in sturdy boxes properly cushioned and sealed before the driver collects the shipment. Have in mind that the courier may refuse to collect a duffle bag if not packed in a cardboard box.

Do I have to attach the label to the package? How to properly attach it?

It depends on the service chosen, the courier and the country of pickup. In most cases when using the Standard Service, the driver will bring the label and place it on the package himself. However, on certain routes or when selecting the Priority option, it may be your responsibility to print and attach the shipping label to the package or suitcase. This information is displayed during the booking process and will also be sent to you via e-mail, along with the shipping label attached.

To assure that the label will be appropriately affixed to the package, make sure to remove any old tags when reusing boxes and to have a clean and flat surface where the label can be clearly read and scanned. Check our dedicated page for further instructions.
