Italian Post Office VS Private Couriers

Getting Around

Mar 24

Where the Italian post office may be the more affordable option and the most used throughout Italy… it isn’t the most reliable. We suggest you only use your local post office nationally or for small packages.

For the bigger and more important things you would like to send abroad, we suggest you stick with private couriers that will provide you with an accurate tracking number that will be updated daily to guarantee your packages arrive safely.

Poste Italiane: tracking numbers, the cheapest domestic postal option, less collection point options, slow and sometimes difficult customer service.

Private couriers: competitively priced both domestically and internationally, online tracking numbers, multiple collection points in the city with reduced waiting times.
