Sending packages internationally to Italy 

Italy is home to over 58 million people, with Rome being the capital city, having the biggest population of over 2.6 million. Located in sunny southern Europe, it has a modern infrastructure, alongside its endless wonderful historical features, meaning delivering there is no issue for the major carriers we offer on our cross border shipping marketplace. With 30 major airports and 43 sea ports there is a abundance of parcels being shipped in and out of the country. Many customers who use our quote engine to compare various international shipping options are looking to send gifts and presents to family to places such as Milan, Naples and Turin.

Looking for the cheapest way to mail a package to Italy? 

On the flip side, eCommerce retail accounts for large volumes of parcels as well, with 60% of Italians using the internet on a regular basis, online sales in the sector in 2015 were valued at €16.5 billion. Shipping a parcel to Italy through the Parcel Monkey Marketplace is as simple as placing an order online, printing out your label and handing over to the courier. You can select one of a wide range of couriers to book international shipping with based on your budget or the delivery time frame you wish to opt for, all in one place.

How long does it take to ship a package to Italy?

Italy is one of the fastest growing eCommerce markets, and it is estimated it will be worth 19.3 billion euros by 2017. Italy is a stylish and fashionable country, and this too is reflected in eCommerce, with the online fashion industry worth €1.8 billion alone. Italians tend to buy fashion and accessories online, so again this influences the type of goods they may be looking to have shipped. The top five countries Italy imports from are Germany: 14.7%, France: 8.4%, China: 8.4%, Russia: 6.4% and the Netherlands: 5.9%. The Italian economy is ranked as third biggest in the Eurozone and eighth largest in the world, and it continues to thrive as a popular destination for tourists.

The diverse population may be another factor in why people may be looking to ship to Italy, as the country has 4.9 million foreign residents. Shipping times vary depending on what type of courier service you book, whether you go for cost effective parcel delivery, or speedy expedited couriers. They also vary as you may be shipping from within Europe and can expect to have access to Next Day couriers, or if you live far away a slower transit time to post a parcel to Italy. 

Customs Information

The list of import prohibitions for Italy is fairly standard in that knives, alcoholic beverages, gambling devices, plants, tobacco and weapons are listed. But there are some notable inclusions such as raw coffee, petroleum oils and human hair. If you are sending items to friends and family in Italy you should be aware that there is a 45 Euro limit before duties are applicable. Also if you are a retailer and are sending purchases into the country, then there may also be duties to be paid by the recipient.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer door to door delivery?

    The Parcel Monkey marketplace uses a shipping calculator to find the best prices for shipping your items door to door via a range of different couriers. 

    With full tracking on almost all of our delivery services, you can follow your package from the moment it leaves you until it arrives with the recipient. We always advise providing the contact number of the recipient so that if needed, the courier can contact them to resolve any issues with the delivery.

    Some of our courier services are delivered to a local Post Office, where the recipient will need to collect the package from such as with DHL eCommerce to some remote areas so it is essential to provide a working contact number. Items shipped with Parcel Monkey are also done so DDU, so it might be that Customs need to collect payment from the recipient before delivery. We offer Customs Advice to help with the completion of any Customs Documents. 

    If you want to know more about what a courier is and how to choose the best service for your package, we can help.

  • Can I add protection cover to my order?

    When you place an order via the Parcel Monkey marketplace, during the booking process you can add protection cover to your item. As long as your item is not prohibited, has been packaged properly and you follow our Claims Procedure, you will be protected should your item be lost or damaged. 

    Some of our services offer no protection cover, but others do and some even offer free cover up to a certain value. You can view this information when you get a price via our shipping calculator. 

    Please ensure that the item is not on the prohibited items list as this will make it void.

    It is also vital to remember your package is going to be sent with global carriers, likely to be handled in various customs and airport departments so be sure to package the item correctly so it is well protected and cannot move around in the box.

  • How long will it take for my package to be delivered?

    Before you choose how to send your package, consider how quickly you need it to arrive. Transit times depend on two key factors- the shipping destination and the courier service you choose from the Parcel Monkey marketplace. 

    When choosing a courier from our marketplace, we will display an estimated delivery time, provided by the couriers themselves as they handle the goods.

    You can see how long it will take to arrive with the receiver and we advise that you share this tracking with the recipient so they can see when it is set to arrive. Always provide the recipient contact number when you book in case the delivery courier needs to contact them. 

    You can choose slower economy services such as DHL eCommerce if looking to save on the cost, or you can choose a speedy Express service that gets the package delivered more quickly like our 2-5 day International Drop Off service provided by FedEx, also available as a Pickup.
