STANDARD
How long does standard courier delivery take?
Standard shipping services are commonly chosen when the delivery time is not an issue, since this is the slowest transport option. The selected route will influence how long it will take to deliver your standard parcel.
- For domestic routes, shipping times can be as low as 1-2 business days;
- For international routes, deliveries can take up to 3-7 days.
At Eurosender, we always choose the best courier for each route and service, ensuring your parcels take as little time as possible to arrive at their destination.

Post offices and mail couriers usually offer both domestic and international services with multiple delivery time options.
- Domestic mail deliveries can take as short as 1 business day and as long as 5 days when booked with the basic service.

DOMESTIC
How long does domestic shipping take?
Domestic shipping can take as little as a few hours for delivery and as long as 2-3 business days, depending on the country size.

Regular or standard courier services, on the other hand, can be much cheaper and still be quite fast.
