Shipping rates for sending parcels to Sri Lanka do not have to be costly and the process need not be complicated if you book an international courier, on our cross-border shipping site. All you need to do is place the order online, print your shipping labels and hand the items over to the courier making the pickup or drop them into a local store that we recommend based on your location.

Cheap DHL shipping from the US to Sri Lanka

We have a range of DHL shipping services to Sri Lanka. 

Shipping packages from the US to Sri Lanka can be done so cheaply if you use a tracked mail courier service such as DHL eCommerce. DHL launched this service to keep the costs of cross-border shipping down and you can now reach destinations such as Sri Lanka for a much lower price. 

DHL eCommerce is a drop off service, so once you have booked online and printed your shipping labels and customs documents you can drop your package off at your local USPS Post Office. 

We also offer USPS delivery to Sri Lanka, using the Priority Mail service for a discounted price. 

Express shipping to Sri Lanka

Express delivery can also be booked online using the Parcel Monkey shipping calculator. We offer USA Express International delivery which is picked up by FedEx and shipped to Sri Lanka by DHL in 2-5 days. If you want to save a little more on the cost, why not drop off at your local FedEx store? 

FedEx Sri Lanka shipping services are also available, simply select International Drop Off, drop your package off at your local FedEx store and they will ship your goods within 2-5 working days. 

eCommerce in Sri Lanka - shopping overseas online? 

An internal problem for Sri Lanka is getting goods from Colombo elsewhere in the country, so if you book a tracked courier, all the costs, bar any customs duty owed, is paid for upfront and the recipient can follow the parcel, which makes purchasing goods online from foreign shores an attractive prospect to consumers in Sri Lanka. While the current penetration of internet is less than 30 percent, it is growing at a fast rate. Not only are people looking to send parcels that contain goods bought online, Sri Lankans live around the globe and have the need to send presents or personal goods home, which is another thriving market in terms of package delivery.

Sri Lanka is a beautiful Asian island with a strong industry in tourism and investment. The Sri Lankan population stands at approx. 20 million citizens and is organized as a democratic socialist system, with a president and parliament. In addition, the citizen base remains surprisingly affluent, well-educated and experiences a strong standard of living, making the nation a vital trade partner for not just European companies, but businesses from the world over. Sri Lanka considers itself a non-aligned country, with strong connections to the United States and its strategic location has made it a strong trading partner for centuries.

Customs Information

Import Restrictions for shipping to Sri Lanka are not always clear as to what items fall under the prohibited and restricted categories.Sri Lanka provides more information about their various customs departments than they do on differentiating what items are actually approved for importation. The standard prohibited items include chemicals, batteries, gas, ice, infectious substances, paint, poison, radioactive material and flammable items. However, it is unclear whether these are general prohibitions or whether Sri Lanka makes distinct rules regarding these items. Sri Lanka does publish a list of regulations that pertain to the importation of goods. These are probably the clearest rules pertaining to import restrictions and cover products such as: live fish, fish products, ceramic products, foreign money, passenger baggage, ozone-depleting substances, animals, animal products, food, bottled water, coconut products, plants and cosmetics.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer door to door delivery?

    The Parcel Monkey marketplace uses a shipping calculator to find the best prices for shipping your items door to door via a range of different couriers. 

    With full tracking on almost all of our delivery services, you can follow your package from the moment it leaves you until it arrives with the recipient. We always advise providing the contact number of the recipient so that if needed, the courier can contact them to resolve any issues with the delivery.

    Some of our courier services are delivered to a local Post Office, where the recipient will need to collect the package from such as with DHL eCommerce to some remote areas so it is essential to provide a working contact number. Items shipped with Parcel Monkey are also done so DDU, so it might be that Customs need to collect payment from the recipient before delivery. We offer Customs Advice to help with the completion of any Customs Documents. 

    If you want to know more about what a courier is and how to choose the best service for your package, we can help.

  • Can I add protection cover to my order?

    When you place an order via the Parcel Monkey marketplace, during the booking process you can add protection cover to your item. As long as your item is not prohibited, has been packaged properly and you follow our Claims Procedure, you will be protected should your item be lost or damaged. 

    Some of our services offer no protection cover, but others do and some even offer free cover up to a certain value. You can view this information when you get a price via our shipping calculator. 

    Please ensure that the item is not on the prohibited items list as this will make it void.

    It is also vital to remember your package is going to be sent with global carriers, likely to be handled in various customs and airport departments so be sure to package the item correctly so it is well protected and cannot move around in the box.

  • How long will it take for my package to be delivered?

    Before you choose how to send your package, consider how quickly you need it to arrive. Transit times depend on two key factors- the shipping destination and the courier service you choose from the Parcel Monkey marketplace. 

    When choosing a courier from our marketplace, we will display an estimated delivery time, provided by the couriers themselves as they handle the goods.

    You can see how long it will take to arrive with the receiver and we advise that you share this tracking with the recipient so they can see when it is set to arrive. Always provide the recipient contact number when you book in case the delivery courier needs to contact them. 

    You can choose slower economy services such as DHL eCommerce if looking to save on the cost, or you can choose a speedy Express service that gets the package delivered more quickly like our 2-5 day International Drop Off service provided by FedEx, also available as a Pickup.
