Many international carriers currently don't accept parcels to Russia, while private couriers carry them with no tracking and no insurance — you never know if the box will arrive. BPD Express Italia is a postal operator: we ship to Russia through our own channel every week, with insurance, full paperwork and tracking all the way to delivery.

How you solve it with BPD Express Italia

Six steps from “got a quote” to “delivered”.

No sign-ups, no accounts, no apps. All you need is to open WhatsApp and bring the box to the nearest point.

  1. 01

    You open the calculator

    No registration, no email capture. Enter the weight and country and see the exact price in three seconds. The same number appears on the final invoice.

    3 sec
  2. 02

    You message us on WhatsApp

    You get the address of the nearest partner point: a tabaccheria, a travel agency, an ethnic food shop. Around the corner, not in a Poste queue.

    < 2 h
  3. 03

    You come to the point

    You fill in nothing. The partner weighs the box, photographs it and sticks our label on. From there they hand it to us.

    5–7 min
  4. 04

    You get a “b…” tracking number

    It arrives on WhatsApp. Share it with the recipient, and they can see for themselves where the parcel is right now.

    instantly
  5. 05

    The route runs on a protected chain

    Local southern hub → weekly departure to Büttelborn (Germany) → customs → delivery to the door or the post office in the CIS. One tracking number for the whole journey.

    10–20 days
  6. 06

    The recipient collects the parcel

    You get a WhatsApp push: “delivered”. The worry is over — you didn’t even have to call and check.

What you get with BPD Express Italia

Five things that make this price reasonable.

01

From €4.99/kg to Russia

€4.99/kg · transparent rate

To Russia — €4.99/kg + €10–15 processing, EMS courier-to-the-door rate. The only full-service Russian-speaking channel from Italy to Russia. Support in English, Italian or Russian.
02

Drop off with zero paperwork

CN23 · EAD · on us

We fill in the CN23, the EAD export declaration and all customs documents for you. You come to the point, hand over the box. That’s it. Not a single form in Italian.
03

Door-to-door with no handovers

1 operator for the whole chain

From the drop-off point in Italy to the recipient in the CIS, the parcel travels inside one BPD Express Italia system. No “passed to FedEx, then to a local courier, then who knows”.
04

Insurance included in the rate

up to €100 by default

Not a separate add-on like at Poste Italiane or DHL. Compensation against the packing list for loss and damage. Extended cover up to €2,000 on request.
05

WhatsApp support in English, Italian or Russian

< 2 hours to reply

Real people, not bots or “Google Translate” answers — people who understand what it means when mum’s birthday is on Saturday. Support is in Russian and Italian.

Why people trust us with parcels to Russia

BPD Express Italia is neither a middleman nor a forwarder — it's a postal operator with its own logistics. We handle the parcel ourselves — from drop-off in Italy to delivery in Russia, without handing it over to third-party carriers.

Postal operator since 2003

A private postal operator with UPU IPEP status since 2003 and experience since 1992 — an institutional standing that forwarders and grey-market couriers simply don't have.

Own chain, no hand-offs

One responsible party from the drop-off point to the recipient's door. No passing your parcel between intermediaries — full control of the route.

Insurance, tracking, paperwork

Insurance included, WhatsApp status updates at every step, and we prepare the customs paperwork ourselves — customs rejections stay below 1%.

WhatsApp support in English, Italian or Russian

We answer and help in Russian and Italian — from the price quote to the contents list, so your parcel goes through without surprises.

Between you and your loved ones — one parcel, not thousands of kilometres. In 10–15 days WhatsApp says "Parcel delivered" — followed by a voice message from home.
