Send gifts by mail or by courier domestically or overseas

It is important to note that not all courier companies will ship presents internationally. For example, DHL, TNT and UPS will not ship packages as gifts, especially if they contain something from the list of prohibited and restricted items. Each courier has specific rules and requirements for different shipments and services, so we recommend checking this further with the designated courier for your route. When booking Express or Regular plus shipping services, please make sure not to include these items as the courier will refuse to collect the parcel. If you need further assistance, you can reach us by chat, phone or email before shipping to discuss your options further.

Each transport company has its rules regarding restricted items. It can be problematic to send perishable products, liquids, certain types or quantities of alcohol, and valuables between individuals, especially if the package is subject to customs control. On the other hand, if the items that you want to send, belong to the restricted category but are not strictly prohibited by the selected courier company, they usually can be shipped, but the logistics provider will not be held responsible in the event of damage or loss of your parcel.

The most cost-effective solution for sending gifts by courier or by mail, whether domestically or overseas, depends on the shipping distance and on the dimensions and weight of your package, as well as on the urgency or non-urgency of your shipment.
