International Parcels

Parcels destined for abroad are sent either by air or by a combination of ship, train, lorry, and airplane. 

General features:

International parcels are divided into the following categories, depending on the speed of delivery and the charge levied:

• First-class Parcels Priority: parcels sent by air and handled as priority items.
• Second-class Parcels Economy: parcels sent with lower priority combining various means of transport (lorry, ship, and airplane), as the case may be.

International parcels in both categories (first- and second-class) are delivered to the recipient’s home.

International first- and second-class parcels can be posted from Hellenic Post branches and agencies.
