Frequently asked questions

Do logistics providers operate in all regions, including those affected by the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19)?
At Eurosender, we work with many different international logistics providers. As of today, there are only a few operators that have temporarily suspended their services in the most affected areas by the COVID-19 outbreak.
Wherever we identify that one of our logistics partners faces a service disruption, we assign the delivery to a different logistics provider. In this way, our customers can still benefit from shipping services in all areas.
Is it safe to receive shipments during this period?
Sending and receiving parcels is still safe, however, we recommend our customers take a few simple precautionary measures such as:
  • Keep a physical distance when in contact with the courier driver;
  • Hand over or take over the shipment from the ground, outside of the building, and not directly from the courier driver’s hands;
  • If possible, sanitize the surface by spraying disinfectant solution over the parcel before touching and opening it;
  • Wash your hands thoroughly after unpacking your goods.

We are actively monitoring the situation and we will keep updating this page with the latest developments in the logistics industry.
