Egypt has trade links with a wide range of nations around the world, however, there are significant business connections with the USA.

Several American companies are involved in the extraction of oil from the waters around the historic North African nation and as such, there is a significant number of packages being sent into Egypt from both individuals and corporations. Some other huge international companies operating in Egypt include BP, HSBC and Apache and so due to this, the market for sending items to Egypt is competitive and thus cost-effective and reliable.

As so many citizens from countries around the globe live in Egyptian cities such as Cairo, Alexandria and Gizah there is courier services booked in via our marketplace to this African country on a daily basis. The Egyptian eCommerce market in 2014 was worth $1.4 billion and is expected to double in size by 2020, whilst in terms of internet usage, a recent report noted that 40.7 million Egyptians use the Internet, making it the largest Internet market in the Arab world.

Customs Information

There is a need to be aware of Egyptian import restrictions and prohibitions. You should certainly be aware of their rules if you are sending antiques, gambling devices, jewellery, lithium batteries, religious material, smoked salmon, software, textiles and tobacco products. You can request the latest rules and prohibitions directly from the Ministry of Finance.

When sending parcels to Egypt it is important to note that DVDs, CDs and Videos are subject to censorship. Furthermore, many types of office equipment may be subject to inspection by the Anti-Forgery Department. Also, telephony and satellite equipment must be approved. It would be advisable not to send any jewellery by international courier services into the country either.

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.

  • 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.
