How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Parcel to Italy?

Shipping costs depend on a variety of factors, making manual comparisons complex and time-consuming. JUMiNGO's calculator allows you to obtain carrier offers from providers such as DHL Express, UPS, TNT, and FedEx, tailored to your entered information. The cost depends not only on the exact destination in Italy but also on the size and weight of your parcel. Additional services such as express shipping may also affect the price. In general, small and light parcels are cheaper to ship than bulky and heavy ones.

Our calculator dynamically adjusts to your data, allowing you to change your order information without starting over. Thanks to JUMiNGO’s negotiated discounts, it is often possible to book express shipping at a rate lower than the standard price. This means you benefit not only from a more attractive rate but also from faster delivery with express shipping.

Key Aspects to Consider When Sending a Parcel to Italy

1) How to Properly Pack a Parcel for Delivery to Italy

The most common causes of returns or delays in transport are poor or insufficient packaging, which increases the risk of damage. Proper packaging helps avoid these issues and ensures optimal protection of the contents.

Whenever possible, use standard-sized boxes, as they offer the best rates. Choose packaging that provides enough space for your items and is sturdy enough to withstand handling during transit. Even though cardboard boxes do not protect against external pressure, they can transmit it internally. Use shock-absorbing filler material such as bubble wrap or polystyrene to fill empty spaces and secure the contents. Ensure the amount of padding is sufficient to prevent movement and absorb external pressure.

2) What Are the Size Limits for Parcels Sent to Italy?

Carriers use a method called "girth measurement" to determine maximum parcel dimensions. This is calculated as: (Height + Width) × 2 + Length, in centimeters. Generally, the maximum dimension is 300 cm, with a maximum weight of 31.5 kg.

For example, a cubic parcel of 60 × 60 × 60 cm results in a girth of 300 cm, the same as a longer parcel of 120 × 60 × 30 cm.

Please note that these limits may vary depending on the carrier, each with their own policies on weight, size, and pricing. Based on your input, JUMiNGO compares these values against available offers and presents you with suitable results. If your parcel exceeds the maximum girth, it will be classified as bulky freight or pallet shipping. JUMiNGO will automatically offer suitable solutions for shipping to Italy in such cases.

3) How to Correctly Address Parcels for Delivery to Italy

Start by indicating the city and name of the recipient. The second line should specify the street address, including house number. Then, write the postal code followed by the city on the third line. Lastly, add "ITALY" to clearly indicate that it’s an international shipment. Here’s an example address format for sending a parcel to Italy:

Mme. Fulgenzia A Romano
Via del Viminale 179
09040 Maracalagonis
ITALY
