How to send a parcel from Romania to Italy

Romania to Italy is the easiest cross-border route on Pachetto: both countries are in the EU, so no customs declaration is needed for personal parcels — just book, pack and send.

Why this route is so cheap

Romania → Italy minibuses run constantly to serve the large Romanian community in Italy. Trip frequency keeps pricing competitive: €1.50–€3.00 / kg is typical, sometimes lower for popular corridors like Bucharest → Milan or Timișoara → Verona.

Typical timing

Most trips arrive 24–48 hours after departure. Departure cities include Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Iași, Craiova and Sibiu. Italian arrival cities cluster around Milan, Turin, Bologna, Rome, Padua and Verona.

No customs paperwork

Because both countries are in the EU and the Schengen zone, parcels cross the border with the rest of the vehicle's contents — no separate declaration, no duty, no VAT on personal items.

You should still:

• Pack contents you'd be comfortable showing at a random border check (rare, but possible).
• Avoid sending alcohol or tobacco above personal-use limits.
• Keep a contents list inside the box for the driver and recipient.

Collection and delivery

All three collection options usually available: door-to-door, meeting point, or hub. Door-to-door in Bucharest or Milan typically adds €5–€10 to the parcel price.

Booking tip

For very popular corridors (e.g. Bucharest → Milan on a Friday), drivers fill up 2–3 days in advance. If your dates are flexible, search a 5-day window to see more options.
