Today, ties are mainly commercial: energy (ENI is one of the main operators at the Zohr field, the largest gas field in the Mediterranean), construction, tourism and food products. The Egyptian community in Italy numbers over 120,000 people, generating a steady stream of parcels sent to relatives in Cairo, Alexandria and the provinces.

Easy to use service and very responsive team from start to finish. The package arrived 2 days earlier than expected and the cost was around 30% lower than what I was used to paying for the same service.
I am an American girl who has been living in Europe for 2 years. I have tried many sites, but as quality/price this one is always very good. I can always count on Convenient Shipping to get the gifts to my family in America.

Positive experience: I got comprehensive answers in a short time. The communication reached both me as the sender and the recipient. Collection and delivery took place as indicated, good price. Congratulations.
