HOW YOU CAN SHIP
Österreichische Post AG has a strong network throughout Austria and abroad. The average Austria Post delivery time for shipments within Europe is 1-7 working days, depending on the route and selected service.
Austrian Post international shipping to global destinations typically takes between 1 week and 1 month (or sometimes even more). This broad estimate is due to a variety of factors, such as local postal service efficiency in different countries, customs procedures, and delivery schedules. Unforeseen delays can also have an impact on the Austria Post delivery time, making it difficult to predict exactly when your shipment will arrive.
When booking Austrian postal services, it is important to note that prices can vary greatly depending on the urgency of your shipment. Standard delivery usually costs considerably less than an Austrian Post express delivery – so be sure to factor this into your decision when making your choice.
