It all works out Swede-ly when businesses and individuals use an international parcel delivery specialist to send goods to Sweden. The largest country in Scandinavia, Sweden is typical of countries in the region in that its population is heavily concentrated in the south.
A prosperous and growing economy has attracted immigration from a wide range of countries. In the last decade, they have come principally from Iraq, Poland, Thailand, the former Yugoslavia and China. More than one in eight of the Swedish population was born outside the country. This has stimulated the demand for Sweden parcel delivery, as distant families and friends use such services to stay in touch, and to send much-appreciated gifts for special occasions.
Businesses in the country have also increased the amount of trade they do with suppliers and customers elsewhere, and its substantial industrial sector has in particular thrived as the manufacturing capacity of other countries has declined. Indeed, with more than a quarter of the country's workforce still employed in industrial occupations, it is one of the strongest countries in this sector in all of Europe.
Raw materials for these industries, including machinery, fuels, chemicals, and iron and steel, are among Sweden's main imports, and more than 5.5 per cent of the goods the country sources from outside come from the UK a greater proportion than either France or China.
Cargo and goods arriving in Sweden enter the country principally through either one of its major ports, which include Gothenburg and Malmo, while the airport at Stockholm-Arlanda, just over 20 miles north of the capital, has been extensively rebuilt, with a third runway being added in 2002 to cater for traffic growth. It receives cargo flights from some of the world's leading operators, including DHL, FedEX, UPS and British Airways World Cargo.
A high-speed train service links Arlanda with the centre of the capital, Stockholm, taking 20 minutes for the 25-mile journey, while onward road links are being continuously upgraded, including the construction of new motorways to extend the network from the Oresund Bridge between Copenhagen and Malmo to destinations north of the capital and to the northern side of Gothenburg.
Using this modern and extensive transport network, parcel delivery operators can get a consignment to any part of the country swiftly and efficiently. Extensive competition for business among the leading international couriers also means that sending a parcel to Sweden is both easy and economical.
Time and money can both be saved by searching online for the best deals on parcel delivery to Sweden. It is possible to compare rates and services from all the international parcel delivery specialists and to find the best combination for any individual package.
