How to ship oversized packages/parcels from the USA to Poland, SlovakRepublic, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova,Belarus

To ship oversized packages/parcels from the USA to Eastern Europe you can use middlemen. For example, Shipito allows to ship oversized packages/parcels to Poland, Slovak Republic, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Belarus.

Oversized items shipping by Shipito.com


Some packages cannot be sent using USPS (United States Postal Service). USPS is usually the least expensive option for sending packages overseas but there are size and weight limitations for packages.  To check mailing conditions and allowed size of packages please check the USPS website.



If your package is over the USPS limit we can send it to you by FedEx. We have a big discount on FedEx pricing and we will pass that discount to you.


If you don't see a shipping method in the calculator then we do not officially support it. We can try to accommodate you but there is no guarantee we will be able to ship the oversize package. Please take it in to consideration before using Shipito service.

Container shipping to Eastern Europe by Polonez Parcel (ocean freight)



Packages are sent by ocean freight in a shipping container.


Shipito fees


Shipito basic fee for smaller packages up to 30 lbs is only $8.50, packages over 30 lbs and under 70 pounds require $17 in handling fees. Packages over 70 pounds have require a $30 overweight charge (same overweight charge applies as Polonez Parcel fee).



For packages with larger dimensions please use following formula: (height x length x width) : 140 = weight in lbs.



Oversized packages are charged based on cubic meters. Minimum price for 1 cubic meter is $200.


Shipito will provide you with a quote once we know the dimensions, exact weight and declared value.

For countries in which container transportation is not available we will ship by FedEx.

*Polonez Parcel quotes are live only for Czech Republic and Ukraine in the shipping calculator. We have to do a manual quote based on the numbers above if you want to ship to other country. That can be done through special request you place on your account. Or you can calculate it yourself from the table above.
