Living away from home to study or work in another country is a great life experience, but there always comes a time when we crave some taste of home. This is, even more, the case during festive periods like Easter, Christmas, birthdays and so on. So, why not have your family or friends ship you something that would give you the illusion to be home for a short while?
Unusual shipping requests from and to Romania
We can understand this desire and shipping has become so easy, and affordable nowadays that people tend to overuse shipping services. From time to time, someone tries to send a package by a courier and doesn’t see any reason why he wouldn’t be able to do it but well… Every once in a while, courier companies have to refuse a shipment because of its content which can definitely be characterized as unusual or even bizarre. Eurosenders funny shipment request series continues. This time we made a list of the weirdest and funniest things, people try to send to and from Romania. Check them out now!
Shipping food
Even if courier companies don’t recommend to ship packages containing food and consider food as something forbidden from transport, there are so many people who still do it. And well, we understand why. No matter how good of a cook you are, you’ll never be able to find all the local ingredients that make a dish like a sarmale. But if you do ship food, please make sure that the food will stay fresh and still comestible for at least a week. After the pickup, deliveries can take up to 5 business days so shipping raw meat by standard courier, for example, might not be a great idea! And on the contrary, shipping canned and packaged foods can be so easy if you pack it properly.
*Please be aware that if you decide to ship items listed as forbidden, you will be responsible for any damages or expenses incurred.
Animals and plants
If you really love and miss your pet that stayed home when you went to live somewhere abroad, do not put it through such a dangerous and frightening experience as traveling in a closed, dark box across the world.. Go visit him often enough or just take him on the road with you.
Sending potted plants via courier is possible, but there are certain restrictions related to their transportation. That way, we will provide helpful shipping and packaging guidelines for potted plants, evergreen trees, outdoor and inland plants. You will also get an instant delivery quote for potted plants and for those growing outdoors. If you have any questions regarding plant shipping or about anything else, feel free to contact us.
Firewood and fireplace
It’s not the most popular item our clients’ ship every day, but who doesn’t like snoozing away in front of a cozy fireplace on a cold winter’s day? Or by a bonfire in summer made from the best firewood, you can chop in Romania?
