Send a parcel to Hungary

Hungary is a landlocked country surrounded by Croatia, Austria, Ukraine, Slovakia, Romania, Slovenia and Serbia. We see a number of road courier services due to the improved transportation infrastructure of Eastern Europe and the savings that can be made by using a courier who delivers via road rather than air. 

Postage to Hungary using Parcelforce 

For those looking for the cheapest postage rates to Hungary, Parcelforce is the best choice. Most people in the UK are familiar with posting parcels from the Post Office and you can continue to do so using this service, only you will pay a lot less.

By booking online with Parcel Monkey, you can enjoy discounted Parcelforce shipping to Hungary, simply print off the shipping labels at home and drop off at a time that suits you. Even if you don't fancy the trip to the Post Office, you can book a courier from Parcelforce to come and collect your parcel on the date of your choice. 

Parcelforce postage times are 4-5 working days from the collection, and you can still enjoy full tracking too, plus free protection cover up to a certain value. You can send heavy boxes that weigh up to 30kg with Parcelforce, but pay a lot less than postage would cost you using Royal Mail directly, so why not get a quote? 

DHL Hungary Services 

At the time of writing, we can send your parcel via a few DHL services including DHL Road Express which takes 3 working days or you can pay a little extra and book DHL Air Express which takes just 1-2 days to major locations such as Budapest and Debrecen. 

Parcel Monkey also offers a couple of hybrid delivery services to Hungary, Parcel Monkey Air Express which is collected by Parcelforce and delivered by DHL for half the price of DHL Air Express but taking 1 or 2 days longer and our own Europe by Road solution. 

DPD Shipping to Hungary

DPD is another premium and trusted courier who can ship your parcels to Hungary in a reasonable time frame of 4-5 days. You can choose to book DPD Pickup and drop off at any DPD Pickup shop or choose a collected service and they will send a driver to your home or work to collect the box. 

Customs and Restrictions 

No Customs Documents are required when posting a parcel to Hungary, but you should always provide a working local contact number for the recipient. 

The impact of the European Union has been the simplified declaration procedure, which you will be notified about in the booking process, however, if you would like to familiarise yourself with the Hungarian Customs and Finance Guard's view on this then we've linked to the appropriate article. Otherwise, if you have any questions relating to sending a parcel to Hungary then feel free to contact us, although if you have any specific questions it might be better to check the Hungarian authorities:
