How do I send a parcel from France to Poland?
Once you’ve paid for your order, you’ll receive two things by email at the same time: a link to the shipping label and a QR code. It’s up to you which one you take with you to the collection point, as both documents work in the same way. The You create the assignment beforehand by Express Parcel Services or in the app InPost Mobile, and then you place the finished parcel in a Paczkomat® parcel locker or at a PaczkoPunkt collection point (In France, these points are known as Points Relais®, which are operated by Mondial Relay – part of the InPost Group).
If you have a printer at home, your parcel will be ready before you even leave. If you don’t have a printer, you can manage just as easily – all you need is the QR code displayed on your phone’s screen.

Dispatch date: 30 days from payment of the order
You have 30 calendar days from the date of payment to collect your parcel from the collection point; after this period, your order will expire. Calendar days are counted, so weekends and public holidays are also included in this period.

Delivery times depend on the country of dispatch, and InPost sets out the terms and conditions sending a parcel from abroad to Poland separately for each destination.

Safe packaging of parcels for delivery to Poland
A parcel being transported from France to Poland is sorted by machine, carried along several routes and placed amongst other parcels. That is why you should choose a rigid Choose a box that fits the contents, and fill any empty spaces so that nothing moves around inside. The sender is responsible for preparing and packing the parcel.
Before sealing the box, check the following four things:
-
Position of the label – on the top surface; never on the seam or the closure of the packaging.
-
Print quality – the barcodes must be sharp and the paper must be matt, as glossy paper makes them difficult to read.
-
Old markings – remove any previous labels and stickers from the used cardboard box.
-
Filling – the contents should not shift when the box is shaken.
However, the box is only half the story. The other half is the contents, because some items simply won’t be accepted by this service, no matter how well you pack them.
Parcel tracking and collection in Poland
Once the parcel meets these requirements and enters the InPost network, all that remains is to track its journey to Poland. Upon dispatch, the parcel is assigned its own 24-character tracking number. You can enter this into the search box on the InPost website or check the status in the InPost Mobile app, and you can pass on this same number to the recipient in Poland so that they can track the parcel’s journey on their end.
When the parcel arrives at its destination, the recipient receives a text message, an email or a message via the app containing a collection code and a QR code. To collect the parcel, they must 48 hours at a Paczkomat® parcel locker and 72 hours at a PaczkoPunkt collection point, so let the recipient know in advance that the parcel is being sent, so that they aren’t caught off guard by the notification.
