Thanks to InPost, you can send parcels from Poland to as many as 7 countries - Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain and Portugal. Convenient sending via Paczkomat® or PaczkoPunkt is another reason to be interested in our service. Before that, you still need to find out how large and heavy parcels we accept. This short guide has been compiled with this in mind.
Dimensions of foreign parcels - what limits apply at InPost?
Importantly, the size of the consignment does not affect the maximum permissible weight. A parcel can weigh up to 25 kg .

What do you fit in your InPost parcels? Examples of items for different sizes
In packets of dimension A can be sent small items such as books, clothing and cosmetics . Small parcels are also a good place for small electronic devices such as phones, chargers, headphones and small cameras. Such a package will also work well if you want to send souvenirs from Poland.
Gabaryt B is an option for slightly larger items, such as medium-sized electronic equipment (laptops, tablets, Bluetooth speakers, etc.), parts of the wardrobe (e.g. footwear, winter coat) and small appliances household appliances, such as blenders and mixers.
Gabaryt C accommodates even larger items. For so large parcels electronics, e.g. monitors or larger household appliances, such as coffee machines or luggage filled with clothes . The considerable size of the package is also suitable for sending larger objects such as sports equipment. This size is also suitable for shipping case - empty or with contents within the regulatory limits. Before posting, it should be packed in a cardboard box of the appropriate size. It is important to protect the wheels and handle, e.g. with bubble wrap. The suitcase should be closed and restrained so that it does not move in transit.
How do I check whether a parcel is within the permitted dimensions?
In order to check whether the parcel is within the permitted limits, the length, width and height of the parcel must be measured accurately. The parcel should be measure after it has been packaged . This will give you the assurance that the package is within the limits for the size in question.
Furthermore, if the item to be sent is irregularly shaped, it needs to be packed in a box large enough to the whole object fits into it . In this way, all its components will be protected for the transport of the package.
The next step is to weigh the parcel. This step can be skipped by those sending lightweight items. However, if the parcel is very heavy, knowing its weight must not be omitted. In this way, a possible return to the sender can be avoided. Once the size and weight of the consignment is known, all that remains is to send it by Parcel Machine® or at a Parcel Post Office .
Different sizes and convenient methods of sending parcels are good reasons to try our service. We encourage you to use the application InPost Mobile or website Rapid Transmissions to convince yourself of the advantages of InPost International.
