Ukraine EMS Carrier Info & Tips
EMS (Express Mail Service) is an international delivery service. EMS items are delivered exclusively by the air carrier, so the average delivery time for most countries is 7-10 days. EMS Ukraine is designed to provide reliable services for express mail delivery. As we know, postal services are very popular nowadays, so Ukraine EMS is one of the best options to send/receive your parcel or letter. Courier delivery and Ukraine EMS tracking are also available. Many people are fond of Internet shopping, which also adds to the popularity of postal services, so no wonder companies are trying to offer customers the best, as the sooner client receives the purchase, the sooner this person will come back again.
Types of Parcels
Sometimes any person can face a need for sending either a letter or a bigger parcel with some goods. So, Ukraine EMS has two shipping categories for customers to select from. Those are goods and documents. Nevertheless, there are some size and weight limitations. So, the maximum size of any parcel you'd like to send via Ukraine EMS shouldn't exceed 1,5 meters x 3 meters. Speaking about maximum weight, parcels heavier than 30 kilograms will not be sent. The maximum weight for documents is 1 kilogram.
EMS Wrapping
Each parcel you'd like to send via Ukraine EMS should be wrapped properly to avoid unpleasant situations. There are many types of wrapping (envelopes, boxes, etc.), so make sure wrapping corresponds to the content of your parcel. Otherwise, your parcel will not be safe, so it's better to wrap it properly to avoid any damages throughout the way. EMS parcels will not be sent if the wrapping is damaged, dirty, or lacking the KYIV EMS logo.
How to Receive a Parcel
If someone has sent a parcel for you, and you want to get it, it's super easy. All you have to do is to go to the post office, present your passport (or any other document) and get your parcel. Courier services are also available, so you can even get your parcel without going anywhere. It's quite convenient, isn't it?
If a Parcel is Lost
Delivering parcels is not as easy as it seems, so no wonder sometimes various problems may appear. The most common one is losing a parcel. Nevertheless, sometimes it is possible to find it. So, the first stage is the written application. You should give it to the EMS worker, present all the necessary documentation (your passport, cheque, and so on), and, probably, your parcel will be found. If it won't, everything will be compensated.
