Why Greece needs special attention
Shipments to Greece are within Europe: more sorting hubs, more handling, more impact risk. Packaging matched to both item and destination makes the difference between an intact arrival and a bad surprise.
For shipments in Greece, ELTA (poste greche) ha rete più capillare ma tempi più lunghi rispetto a carriers privati.
The 5 steps to pack stationary bike for Greece
Step 1 — Materials needed. smontata, pallet o box voluminosa rinforzata, sponda idraulica.
Step 2 — Clean and prepare. Clean stationary bike before packing. Customs declarations require precise descriptions: remove old labels and photograph the item before wrapping.
Step 3 — Inner protective layer. Wrap stationary bike in at least 3 layers of bubble wrap. Don't skimp on packing: the parcel passes through 2–3 European hubs.
Step 4 — Sturdy box. Double-wall corrugated cardboard, 5–10 cm larger than the contents on every side. Never reuse crushed boxes: cardboard loses strength after 1–2 shipments.
Step 5 — Sealing and labelling. H-shaped seal with 50+ mm tape. Label in Italian and English (or Greece's local language if relevant). FRAGILE label on 2 sides if applicable.
Documents for Greece
Greece is in the EU: no extra customs paperwork required, just the carrier label.
Common mistake: usare boxes vecchie schiacciate. Il cartone perde resistenza after 1-2 shipments. Usa boxes nuove o in ottimo stato.
