Does EMS work in Georgia and how do you send an urgent parcel?

Georgian Post EMS and AVIA express: weight, time, limits.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Georgian Post offers urgent EMS shipments up to 20 kg and the AVIA express service up to 30 kg, which takes 3–6 working days to most countries. The calculator on gpost.ge gives the price. The list of AVIA countries is in an annex to the terms and may change.

Why

  1. EMS: up to 20 kg, diagonal not more than 150 cm, insurance up to 10,000 GEL.
  2. AVIA: up to 30 kg (the greater of actual and volumetric weight counts), not insured and cannot be sent to a PO box.
  3. AVIA takes 3–6 working days, and 10–12 working days to the Czech Republic and Bulgaria, counted from the day after acceptance.
  4. AVIA and EMS are separate Georgian Post products with different terms.

Details

EMS is a type of shipment in which receipt, processing and dispatch are done in the shortest possible time. For EMS delivery times and destination countries, ask Georgian Post on +995 32 224 09 09. AVIA accepts both documents and items. Food products, cigarettes, medications, any liquids and alcohol cannot be sent by AVIA, and unclaimed shipments are destroyed after 21 calendar days unless the sender pays for their return.

For regular international parcels and wine see the answer about sending wine and chacha, and Georgian postal codes are in Postal codes in Georgia.

Tip

Before sending, work out the price in the calculator on gpost.ge and check your destination against the AVIA list, because shipments can go only to countries on that list.

What may differ

Times, the list of countries and prices depend on the direction and may change. AVIA takes longer to the Czech Republic and Bulgaria.
