Packaging, Weight, and Volume

Parcels must be securely packaged, preferably in a cardboard box, with the name and address of both the sender and the recipient - must be written on 2 (two) sides of a parcel.

Meest UK does not cover damages to the contents of the parcels. Please notify our agents if you have any fragile items in the parcels and they will assist you in packaging them securely.

The maximum size of parcel: either side cannot exceed 1.05 m (41"), the weight of parcel may be less than 5 kg, but the cost of shipping is as for 5 kg.

The cost of your package can be affected by the amount of space that it occupies on an aircraft, rather than the actual weight.

To determine the cost of shipping, the greater of the actual weight or dimensional weight is utilized.

The following are formulas for the dimensional weight in lbs. and kg*

Dimensional Weight

* This formula only applies to AIR shipments

Dimensional Weight {lbs} = L (in) x W (in) x H (in) / 139
Dimensional Weight {kg} = L (cm) x W (cm) x H (cm) / 5000

* This formula only applies to AIR shipments

Parcel insurance

Each parcel is automatically insured depending on the selected service:

  • £50 inclusive Parcel Protection for Express shipments
  • £20 inclusive Parcel Protection for regular services

The maximum amount of additional insurance available is up to £800.

Additional insurance is charged at +5% of the declared value.

Are there any parcel size restrictions when shipping to Bulgaria?


Yes. For air shipments, the maximum length of any side of the parcel cannot exceed 1.05 metres (41 inches). Using a durable cardboard box and ensuring the parcel meets size requirements can help avoid shipping delays or additional handling issues.

How can I estimate the shipping from UK to Bulgaria price?


Shipping costs to Bulgaria are based on either the actual weight or the dimensional weight of the parcel, whichever is higher. Dimensional weight is calculated using the parcel’s dimensions, so large but lightweight packages may have higher shipping costs than expected.

What insurance coverage is included with deliveries to Bulgaria?


All parcels include basic protection. Express shipments are automatically insured up to £50, while regular services include £20 of coverage. Customers can purchase additional insurance up to £800, which is calculated as a percentage of the declared value.
