F.A.Q. Pack & Ship

MBE is not an express courrier but much more: managing the shipping process, before, during and after the delivery. We offer the most suitable express courrier for every situation depending on your needs.

Due to fluctuating fuel costs and to drive sustainability in logistics, our partners levy a fuel surcharge for commercial road transport. The fuel surcharge is a percentage surcharge that is recalculated monthly based on the global oil price.

In some countries there may be limitations related to the shipment of the following articles:
  •      Alcoholic beverages
  •      Personal effects
  •      Fresh food and perishables
  •      Pharmaceuticals
  •      Plants and seeds
  •      Works of art and antiques
  •      Metals and precious stones
  •      Fragile objects, such as glass, bottles, etc.
For some of the items of the categories mentioned above, Mail Boxes Etc. can offer alternatives to the Express Couriers circuit, thanks to agreements with specialized transport companies. For these requirements, contact your MBE Solutions Center.

  • Live animals
  • Weapons
  • Exceptionally valuable items (antiques, precious stones)
