The North East African country of Eritrea is located on the Red Sea coast and is home to 5.6 million people and shares a border with Ethiopia having gained independence in 1993. Periods of conflict and severe drought have heavily impacted on the agricultural economy, which in turn has led to this nation remains one of the poorest in Africa.
We are able to offer delivery to this country via three different couriers at the time of writing, notably DHL and our own Express service so you can save on the cost of sending to family or friends who may reside in cities such as Asmara. Internet usage levels are well known to be low in Eritrea, so it is good to keep track of the parcel from the UK using our tracking tool to follow it to delivery.

Located in the Horn of Africa, Eritrea also shares borders with Djibouti and Sudan as well as aforementioned Ethiopia. In recent times it has witnessed strong economic growth following the end of the Eritrean-Ethiopian War due to its extensive mineral resources, especially copper and gold as well as granite and marble.
This kind of industry drives some import traffic from other nations such as the UK, so we do see some goods sent to locations across the country. Customers who use our simple quote engine are often looking for the same sort of things you would expect from a courier, a good price and a good service time.
Depending on the nature of what you are shipping to Eritrea, you may want it to arrive quickly so you could book our DHL Air Express service which will get your parcel delivered in as little as 3-5 days.

An alternative to this is the Parcel Monkey Air Express service which takes just a day or two longer to arrive but for a far cheaper cost. This means it is our biggest seller to Eritrea, as you get the perfect mix of speedy delivery without being too costly. This premium Air Express service is tracked in full.

Parcel Monkey Air Express is more reasonable starting at less than £56 currently with a delivery time of 4-6 days.
Customs restrictions and prohibitions information is scant as the country is fairly secretive and has a low internet presence, so we do therefore suggest you contact the FCO for guidance.

Instructions are really easy to follow. No faffing about!
Good service and easy to use the website, but be warned if you dont give accurate measurements for your item they will charge your card afterwards-my item was 200g over and I was charged a full kilo extra so just be aware of this.
Very easy to use and parcel arrived on time. Will definitely use again.
More and more I had labels not clear, my postage happens on Fridays 5 pm and I end up having to wait til Monday, missing my Etsy cut off for my orders tracking notes. This error message started causing me to lose credibility points with my customers and Etsy score. The time I post, is due to a series of factors and I do not see why its so hard to have labels instantly or reply until 8pm if the MonkeyParcel service is open until 8pm. When I asked what I can do different to avoid the labels not generating, I get no reply. I mainly used UPS via Parcel monkey, my impression in the past was that they have a solid reliability. This week i spent 3 days waiting in from 8-6 for UPS to come and collect a parcel to was too large to drop off with my usual shop, according to them. Not showing up, giving me full day pick up windows, in this day and age of tech and precision it’s just not ok. I now booked RM via a different broker and they gave me the morning off from window staring, having a 4 hour afternoon slot, which is great because, I am in desperate need to get to the supermarket after being stuck at home for all those days. I think my case is made that my loyalty has run thin and I am changing providers.
