Does Asendia deliver parcels on weekends?

Asendia parcel deliveries are generally made from Monday to Friday and not on weekends, although this may differ depending on the postal service in the delivery country.

How does Asendia international shipping work?

Asendia postal services operate in 17 countries in four continents, delivering parcels and documents throughout the world. They use two companies to deliver your parcel – one in the collection country and one in the delivery country.

Depending on the services available in each country, you can choose parcel drop-off or courier collection from home – whichever is more convenient for you.

What carriers does Asendia use for parcel deliveries?

The primary focus of Asendia is processing business shipments and managing customs clearance before delegating the last-mile delivery to other carriers.

Asendia normally uses local postal services as their carriers, for example, Royal Mail in the UK, USPS in the USA, Canada Post in Canada, and Australia Post in Australia.

In some cases, depending on the shipment and route, Asendia will use other in-country carriers instead of the national postal services. Carriers are chosen based on the best balance of price, reliability and features.

What kind of mail does Asendia deliver for businesses?

Asendia ships bulk mail internationally for e-commerce businesses, for example, poster and leaflet deliveries, catalogues, postcards, invoices, magazines and publications.
