PACKAGING GUIDELINES

Post Lithuania has clear packaging guidelines which are intended to ensure that shipments reach recipients undamaged and on time. Careful packaging is crucial to ensure the safety of the goods during transport. These guidelines concern the choice of packaging material, the correct sealing of the shipment and the identification of sensitive contents.

- choice of packaging material

Post Lithuania recommends choosing robust and sturdy outer packaging for every shipment. The packaging should be neither too big nor too small and sturdy enough to withstand loads during transport. For heavy or sensitive goods, it is recommended to use double-walled cardboard, which provides additional protection. Packaging that has already been used and shows signs of wear such as cracks or dents should be avoided as it is less stable and increases the risk of transport damage.
‍
- Padding and protecting the content

The contents of the shipment should be protected from shocks using suitable cushioning materials — such as bubble wrap, foam or wrapping paper. Post Lithuania recommends upholstery sensitive goods so that they have no room for movement within the packaging. There should be a gap of at least five centimeters between the contents and the packaging wall to provide protection against shocks and pressure.

- Seal the package correctly
‍
Securely closing the package is another important point. It is advisable to secure the package connections with strong adhesive tape, especially at the edges and openings of the box. For heavy packages, wide, reinforced adhesive tape is recommended, which provides additional stability and prevents the shipment from being opened unintentionally. An “H” closure, which covers both the edges and the central surfaces, ensures optimum safety.

- Correct labeling
‍
If the shipment contains sensitive or fragile content, this should be clearly visible on the outside with an appropriate sticker (“Be careful with glass” or “fragile”). Post Lithuania points out that although such information encourages careful handling, it does not guarantee particularly gentle transport. Good padding is therefore still essential. Unwieldy packages or packages that are not rectangular (e.g. rolls or very large objects) are treated as bulky goods at Post Lithuania and cost extra. Such packages should be securely packaged and marked so that they can be handled correctly in the depot.

- packaging for special requirements
‍
Post Lithuania also offers special packaging solutions for special requirements, for example for shipping electronics, liquids or other sensitive goods. Customers can also purchase mailing bags, shipping boxes and boxes directly from Post Lithuania, which comply with the guidelines and are optimally designed for transport.

- Place the address label clearly
‍
Place the address label in a prominent place and make sure that it is completely legible and not damaged. Remove old mailing labels or other labels to avoid confusion.


Customs & import regulations

When shipped via Post Lithuania, shipments must comply with applicable customs and import regulations to ensure that all international deliveries are handled correctly. For shipments imported to or exported from Lithuania, a proper declaration of the goods is required. This means that both the value and content of the shipment must be clearly stated. In most cases, customs documents such as commercial invoices or customs declarations are required to enable rapid customs clearance.
Shipments whose value exceeds certain thresholds are subject to VAT and any applicable customs duties. These duties vary depending on the type of goods and their value. Import regulations are stricter, particularly for goods such as foodstuffs, medicines or dangerous goods. Certain products may either be banned or require additional documents, such as special certificates.
Post Lithuania actively supports its customers with customs clearance by helping to fill out the necessary forms and providing information about possible fees and duties. This may also result in additional charges for customs clearance, which vary depending on the value of the shipment.
‍

Insurance and liability
‍
Lithuanian Post has specific insurance and liability regulations for shipped parcels. By default, they are responsible for packages up to a specific value, which is generally determined by the type of delivery chosen and the value of the content. For more valuable shipments, it is possible to take out additional insurance to ensure higher liability. These additional services can be used specifically for more expensive, fragile or particularly valuable items to secure shipping. If a package is lost or damaged during shipping, compensation is offered, which usually covers the insured value. The exact conditions depend on the shipping service chosen, and the liability of Lithuanian Post varies depending on the type of shipment and the services included. In the event of loss or damage, there are also claims reporting procedures, which are accompanied by Swiss Post's customer service. There are additional liability rules for international shipping, and insurance is often necessary, particularly for valuable or fragile shipments. This ensures that both the sender and the recipient are covered in case of problems during transport.

shipment tracking

Package tracking at Post Lithuania is an important service that enables customers to monitor their parcels and shipments in real time. This service is available for both domestic and international shipments.

This minimizes uncertainty and allows customers to react quickly in the event of any delays. In addition, there is the option to request a delivery confirmation for particularly important or valuable shipments, which enables detailed tracking and confirmation of delivery by the recipient.

delivery options

Post Lithuania offers a variety of delivery options that are tailored to the different needs of customers. There are flexible solutions for shipping within Lithuania, such as delivery to post offices or parcel machines (LP EXPRESS Paštomatai), which are accessible around the clock. These options are particularly convenient for customers who are away from home during the day, as they can pick up their shipments anytime. In addition, Post Lithuania offers a courier service that enables direct delivery to the desired address. This service is particularly suitable for urgent shipments or valuable packages that require fast and secure delivery.
When it comes to international shipping, customers also have several options available, depending on the urgency and the destination country. For fast deliveries, there is EMS (Express Mail Service), which allows quick delivery, while standard shipping options take a bit more time. International shipments can also be delivered to post offices or parcel machines when the recipient is not at home. To ensure additional security, Post Lithuania also offers a delivery confirmation, particularly for valuable or important shipments. This makes it possible to confirm receipt of the delivery by the recipient, which provides the sender with additional certainty.
Overall, these various delivery options ensure that both national and international shipments can be delivered in a flexible and secure way. Post Lithuania adapts its services to the needs of its customers to ensure efficient and convenient delivery.

Return and return option
