Why Ship to Bulgaria?
Bulgaria is an exciting and fun-filled holiday destination, whether for a quick city break to the stunning capital of Sofia to study the country’s ancient past, or to spend a few weeks exploring the striking countryside and to enjoy winter sports. But with so much to see and do in such a spectacular country, you might end up having more luggage than you expected, especially if you end up doing plenty of shopping and heading home with lots of souvenirs.
Maybe you are taking a winter holiday and bringing a few extras such as skis and ski boots, or perhaps you are going on a business trip with a suitcase filled with suits, or maybe you’re relocating to Bulgaria. Whatever the purpose of your trip, we can pick up your bags from your doorstep and deliver them to wherever you need them in Bulgaria.

About Bulgaria
Officially known as the Republic of Bulgaria, the country is located in south east Europe, bordering Romania, Greece, Turkey, Serbia and Macedonia, with the Black Sea on its eastern coast. The official language spoken in the country is Bulgarian, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet, and the currency is the Bulgarian Lev. The climate in Bulgaria is typical for central Europe, with hot summers and cold winters.
Bulgaria is very diverse in terms of landscape and culture. It has mountainous regions, various urban centres, and the Black Sea coast. The capital city of Bulgaria is Sofia, situated at the foot of Mount Vitosha. Sofia’s history stretches back to antiquity. It has a turbulent past, having been ruled by the Thracians, Romans, Byzantines, Ottoman Turks and Russians. The churches and museums in the city are particularly popular with tourists, as are the sprawling shopping streets and malls. For the more active or thrill-seeking visitor, Bulgaria offers great ski resorts and excellent hiking and cycling. Summer also sees many tourists heading to the coastal cities of Varna and Burgas to soak up the sun by the crystal blue sea. These areas are renowned as being some of the most affordable yet beautiful seaside getaways in Europe.

Send your Bike to Bulgaria
There is a lot of untouched natural beauty in Bulgaria for you to explore by bike. You can send your bicycle with Send My Bag, rather than checking it into the hold of your plane and having to pay outsized baggage fees. You can even do a tour of Bulgaria by bike by sending your bike to your first hotel and having it picked up at your final hotel. Your bike needs to be taken apart and safely packaged up before being sent to Bulgaria. Check out our information on bike shipping to learn more.
Send Skis to Bulgaria
Perhaps one of the less popular regions for ski holidays, Bulgaria has plenty to offer skiers, often at very affordable prices. Some of the best Bulgarian ski resorts include Bansko, Borovets and Pamporovo. Don’t worry about having to rent unfamiliar skis when you are there. Instead, you can send your own skis to Bulgaria with Send My Bag. This is much easier than checking your skis into your airplane’s hold. You can send your skis ahead to Bulgaria and have them waiting for you on arrival. Find out more about sending skis with Send My Bag and read about how to package your skis safely.
Air Freight to Bulgaria
If you need to send big items, such as a nest of tables or ottoman, to Bulgaria you could try air freight. Transit time is usually one to two days, so it’s a quick service. It can be quite pricey, though, with costs increasing as your shipment size increases. You will probably also have to hire a customs agent to sort customs clearance for you. Another cost to think about is getting your items to and from the airport, which means the price of using air freight could quickly mount up. If you send internationally by air freight to Bulgaria your items will likely arrive at Sofia, Plovdiv or Varna Airports.
Sea Freight and Container Shipping to Bulgaria
Sea freight or container shipping is another option for shipping large bulky items, like a snooker table or a bed. Sea freight shipping to Bulgaria can take a number of weeks, so it’s a good option if you don’t need to take receipt of your items immediately. This option can be cheaper than air freight, but you will still need to pay for the services of a customs agent and will need to sort out how to get your items to and from the ports. This means the cost could be more than expected. When using container shipping to Bulgaria, your items will most likely arrive by ship at the Port of Varna or the Port of Burgas.
Shipping Goods to Bulgaria
You must research current customs rules when shipping goods to Bulgaria. You should know about any duty that you need to pay and what items are permitted to be shipped to Bulgaria, which items are restricted, and which are entirely prohibited.
