❓ FAQ - Shipping to Portugal

Should I choose express or standard shipping to Portugal?

If you are in a hurry, the’express (1-3 days) is the best choice, especially for documents or deliveries with deadlines. If, on the other hand, you want to save money, the standard service (4-7 days) offers an excellent balance between price and reliability.

Why does the price change even with the same weight?

Because couriers also calculate the volumetric weight. A large but light package can cost more than a small and heavy one. Enter precise measurements (L × W × H) is essential to avoid surprises.

Does shipping to Madeira or the Azores cost more?

Yes. Being islands, they require an additional route (air or ship):
👉 higher prices
👉 slightly longer times
For these destinations, express is often the most efficient solution.

What are the most common causes of shipping delays?

The most frequent errors are:
- Incomplete postcode or address
- wrong dimensions
- absence of recipient's telephone number
Correcting these details avoids most of the problems.

What happens if the recipient is not at home?

The courier makes a new attempt or contacts the recipient for redelivery. Enter telephone and email reduces management time.

Can you send suitcases or personal belongings to Portugal?

Yes, but they must be properly packed and with real measurements. For more packages or bulky objects, consider pallets: they are often more convenient.
