Not everyone knows it, but from San Marino it’s possible to send a parcel anywhere in Italy and to more than 200 countries around the world directly through Poste San Marino, tracking it every step of the way until it reaches the recipient. The parcel service is designed for private individuals, professionals and businesses, and relies on cooperation with Poste Italiane and the main international postal couriers.
For Italy, there are two options:
- Standard: the most economical option, with delivery within 4 working days of shipping, starting at 5.95 euros for a parcel up to 2 kg.
- Express: designed for urgent shipments, with delivery within 1-2 working days to most Italian locations.
At post office counters, parcels of up to 30 kg can be sent, with an added benefit: rates are calculated based on actual weight, without volume affecting the price, and are uniform across all of Italy, with no surcharges for islands or hard-to-reach areas.
If the recipient is not at home, two delivery attempts are made and, should these fail, the parcel is held at the post office closest to the delivery address. On request, customers can add cash on delivery, insurance, and delivery by appointment or on Saturdays.
For shipments abroad, there is the standard international service: parcels arrive within 3-4 working days in European Union countries and within 5-6 working days in the rest of the world, barring customs formalities. Rates are all-inclusive, and shipments can be insured and tracked online.
Senders also have access to a number of dedicated services. With Pick Up Business, Poste San Marino staff visit the offices of companies and professionals directly, Monday to Friday, to collect mail and parcels of up to 20 kg. The subscription starts at 15 euros a month (postage excluded), roughly 69 cents per working day.
With the PostExpress Business online platform, designed for both companies and private users, shipments can be managed independently: users enter the parcel details and the system suggests available couriers, starting with the most convenient rate. With Full Easy, businesses can also entrust Poste with the preparation and packaging of their shipments.
To send a parcel, simply visit any post office. Every parcel can be tracked 24 hours a day on national and international tracking websites, by entering the code shown on the waybill. For information or to activate the dedicated services, the commercial department can be reached at 0549 981020, extension 3, or by email at commerciale@poste.sm.
