A lot of people have holidayed in Greece; some people even develop such a love for the location they have visited that they will pack up their things and emigrate to Greece. If you have family or friends living or working abroad in mainland Greece or one of the many Greek islands then you may feel like sending them some reminders of home or a birthday/Christmas present.
In the past you may have had difficulty doing this since many people will have shied away from sending parcels internationally as it used to mean a lot of money to send parcels internationally. Fortunately as more and more people begin to send parcels abroad for this reason as well as people selling goods online through sites such as eBay the cost of parcel deliveries has come down.
Sending a parcel abroad is now much more affordable with many famous couriers now offering cheaper services to Europe without compromising on the level of service, so you're still getting features such as detailed tracking and express deliveries without having to worry about the charges costing you more than most UK deliveries do.
When you are sending parcels internationally you need to be sure that you take extra care when wrapping and packaging your parcel, since they will be loaded onto planes and be handled by many more people during the delivery process you'll need to ensure your parcel's secure and unlikely to be damaged or fall open at any point during delivery.
Make sure that your parcel has the right amount of padding, if you don't want to spend money on bubble wrap or polystyrene then scrunched up news paper is just as good at protecting your parcel's contents from moving around and being damaged.
Externally you will want to make sure your parcels contents are protected and so heavy duty parcel wrap is advisable or sealable mailing bags, these will both withstand the elements with the plastic bags being slightly more in favour as they are waterproof but making sure you apply plenty of parcel tape to not only prevent it from coming apart but also to prevent people from easily being able to open and tamper with your parcel.
Sending a parcel to Greece via a parcel courier doesn't take as long as some people may think as most couriers will have distribution centres in Greece and other major European destinations and with their own fleet of delivery vehicles and even aircraft then your parcel could be delivered in no time.
For Greece Parcel delivery make sure you use a reputable worldwide courier who will be experienced in this type of delivery.
