How to send a parcel to the USA? A practical guide from Meest Post
To share
Sending a parcel across the ocean may seem complicated to many people, but in reality it is a quick and hassle-free process. The key is choosing the right carrier.
The United States is one of the most popular shipping destinations from Poland. No wonder – as many as 10 million Poles live there, and family and business parcels travel in both directions all the time. If you are wondering how to send a parcel to the USA cheaply and safely, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the whole process.
How much does a parcel to the USA cost?
The price of a parcel to the USA depends mainly on its weight and dimensions. With Meest Post you can send both a small parcel of gifts and a larger business shipment. Shipping costs start from just PLN 149, which makes our offer one of the most competitive on the market. What is more, the shipping rules are transparent – there are no hidden fees to worry about, and you always see the final amount before paying online.
How long does a parcel from Poland to the USA take?
Delivering your parcel to the USA usually takes at least 6 business days. This is because it has to travel thousands of kilometres and go through mandatory customs clearance. As a result, its delivery takes much longer than a domestic or European shipment.
Importantly, you can track your parcel online at every stage of its journey – from drop-off to delivery to the recipient. This way you can always be sure that it will arrive safely and on time.
How to send a parcel to the USA?
With Meest Post you can send a parcel to the USA from a parcel locker or at one of our partner points. It will be delivered by a FedEx courier. You can easily choose the shipping method that suits you best:
- InPost parcel locker – available 24/7. You can use it at rush hour or in the middle of the night. If you value flexibility and do not like waiting in queues, this is the perfect choice for you.
- Meest Post drop-off point – for those who prefer talking to our staff in person. It is an excellent option if you are not sure how to deal with the formalities or need more information about delivery.
Meest Post also offers a label-free parcel option. This means you do not have to print any documents – all you need is your order number, and the system takes care of the rest.

Customs formalities – what do you need to know?
