Sending parcels to Portugal? Great prices and all the Information you need

Portugal is a Southern European country, with Spain as its only direct neighbor. Portugal's population is estimated to be over 10 million people, whilst many Portuguese reside around the world including 300.000+ in the UK alone, meaning there is a great demand for parcels to be sent back home by expats to cities such as Lisbon, Porto, and Braga. Portugal is also on the map in terms of eCommerce, with 5.9 million internet users, who spent €2.9 billion in 2014. Portuguese online shoppers spent more on online purchases, ahead of counterparts in other Southern European countries including Italy and Spain.

Sending parcels to Portugal normally means the recipient can expect a fast delivery service due to the fact this well-developed country has a strong economy and infrastructures in place to support logistics, such as new road systems linking all major towns and cities. Furthermore, Portugal has numerous major seaports in Sines, Lisbon, and Faro as well as major airports. Close to 75% of e-shoppers in Portugal prefer home delivery so this is something to consider if arranging to ship a parcel, as a door to door service may be the recipient's preference.

Maybe Portugal's biggest export is it's language, in Brazil alone, there are over 200 million speakers Due to the country’s activity during the age of exploration, Portuguese is now the fifth-most used language on earth. Brazil, Mozambique, Macau, Angola and several other countries list Portuguese as the official language, making Portugal uniquely suited for international commerce. In terms of import partners, Spain, Germany, and France are the most prominent. Data from eCommerce Europe shows there are about 2.2 million online shoppers in Portugal, who on average spent €1,330 per person so the market is ready should you wish to develop your business there. Portugal is not quite as dominant e-commerce player such as economic powerhouses like the U.K. or Germany are, is a small nation is full of potential.

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.
