Ways to send an international parcel

If you choose the first way, launch our website and open the shipping form. Choose whether you prefer to use a label or send a parcel without printing a shipping document. Want to send with an app? Open InPost Mobile and go through the short and intuitive process of sending a parcel!

 

Complete the entire form and carefully secure your international parcel. Remember that dimension C changes slightly, while you can use the well-known dimensions of parcels of dimension A and B handled by InPost and with a maximum weight of 25 kg . Choose packaging of the right size and take good care of the contents. Don't forget filling (e.g. skropak or bubble paper) to protect the inside of the box from damage during transport.

Carefully seal your overseas parcel. If you choose to ship with a label, place the printed document in a prominent position. The paper should not be folded anywhere. When you send a parcel without a label, write the tracking number clearly on the parcel. Then go to any PaczkoPunkt or Paczkomat® machine and send it out into the world. Thanks to InPost, you can do this quickly and easily at a number of locations, including near your home.

International shipments with InPost are not only easy to send, but also fast. Planned delivery time is 3 to 5 working days (counts from the next working day after posting) and varies depending on the destination country.
