STANDARD SHIPPING TIMES
Standard shipping services are commonly chosen when the delivery time is not an issue. The selected route will dictate how long it will take to deliver your standard parcel. While for domestic routes, standard shipping times can be as low as 1-2 business days, for international routes, deliveries can take up to 3-7 days. Delivery times will, of course, also depend on the courier company transporting your parcel. 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.

EXPRESS SHIPPING TIMES
Parcels shipped by express courier services are usually delivered in 24h-72 hours, depending on the destination. Some couriers specialise in express shipping services and even offer different delivery times within the next day, overnight and express deliveries.
Depending on the route and the service you choose, parcels shipped by express can be delivered as soon as the next day within the following hours 9 am, 12 am or 6 pm (different express couriers offer different delivery time options). International routes that require customs clearance will usually extend your parcel’s arrival time. On the other hand, parcels shipped domestically or internationally but within a free trade zone have much shorter delivery times and can arrive at their destination as soon as the next morning.

MAIL DELIVERY TIMES
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. As for international mail, the delivery time can highly vary depending on the route and the service chosen. While with regular international mail services you may get longer delivery times between 4-11 working days, most courier and postal companies also offer express solutions for time-sensitive cases.
With the Eurosender Express Documents Service, your shipment is usually delivered between 1 and 2 business days on international routes.

DOMESTIC SHIPPING TIMES
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. National delivery is one of the shipping categories that offer more services, prices and, of course, different courier delivery times.
Usually, all the courier companies offer options with very short transit times for domestic routes, such as overnight, next-day or same-day parcel shipping services, even if the price can be quite high. Regular or standard courier services, on the other hand, can be much cheaper and still be quite fast, with deliveries as soon as the next business day.
