How to Receive a Parcel from Poland or Send It from Ukraine

Sending a parcel to Europe or receiving it from abroad is a common practice worldwide. Moreover, arranging delivery of a purchase from Poland, creating a shipment, and paying for it can be done very conveniently via online services of logistics and postal companies. Today, Ukrainians widely use postal services that offer delivery to Poland and across Ukraine. Many had to urgently leave the country, taking only minimal clothing and essential documents. Now, parcels with remaining belongings, important documentation, and food are traveling between Poland, Ukraine, and all across Europe.

Options for Receiving Parcels from Abroad

There are two main ways to receive a parcel from Poland to Ukraine or other countries worldwide:

Postal services. You can use operators like Poczta Polska (Polish Post) or Ukrposhta. They offer various delivery options, including international shipping. For shipments to Ukraine, you can use international postal services and courier delivery. Ukrposhta’s services are more economical financially, but the delivery times are longer.
Courier services. There are many international companies, such as DHL, UPS, FedEx and others, that offer parcel delivery from Poland to different countries worldwide, including Ukraine. These operators usually provide tracking options and door-to-door delivery. However, with the outbreak of the war, this option does not work directly for Ukraine. Their services are available within Poland and other EU countries; for delivery to Ukraine, an intermediary will handle the shipment. For example, the company GlobalPost.

For large shipments, sea or air freight is suitable. Logistics may take longer, but this is usually a cost-effective option for big and heavy parcels. Currently, this option is unfortunately unavailable for Ukraine.

You can also use intermediary companies that collaborate with both postal services and logistics operators. Many specialize in international deliveries and offer services for sending parcels from Poland to other countries. They can provide various delivery options depending on your needs and budget. You can also track your parcel from Poland via online services.

Another option is to send a parcel to Poland by bus. This is the lowest-cost solution but comes with the highest risks. Cargo is usually uninsured, and the driver typically does not bear responsibility for delivery. Moreover, you cannot track a parcel online from Poland to Ukraine or any other country.

When choosing a delivery method, ensure that the final option meets your expectations regarding timing, cost, and security. Also, do not forget to check the information about customs duties and taxes that may apply during international shipping. And, of course, find out how much it costs to send a parcel to Poland.
