FAQ - Frequently asked questions about sending a parcel to Bulgaria
Shipping to Bulgaria is EU: do I need customs documents?
In general no, because Bulgaria is EU: normally, the waybill and complete data (address + recipient's contact details).
How much does it cost to send a parcel to Bulgaria?
The cost varies according to weight, dimensions and service. To give you an idea, some online guides show indicative examples for weight ranges (e.g. 1 kg, 2 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg), but the real price changes depending on the postcode and the option chosen: that is why it is always better to quote with real weight and measurements.
How long does it take to ship to Bulgaria from Italy?
It depends on the service: many sources report typical times in the order of 3-6 working days for standard solutions, with faster options available depending on the courier and route. On the quotation page, it is always best to take the times indicated for your specific destination as a reference.
Can I send food or typical products to Bulgaria?
Often yes for products non-perishable and well packaged, but some categories can be limited or rejected by the courier (e.g. food to controlled temperature or goods subject to specific rules). Always check the restrictions of your chosen service before shipping. ShippingComoda does not ship temperature-controlled.
Are there restrictions on certain items?
Yes: some products may be banned or restricted by couriers. Always check first restrictions here
