Is EMS a courier company?

No, EMS is not a courier company, but an operating branch of the Universal Postal Union. EMS is an integrated logistics provider cooperated by postal services of 175 countries, specializing in global postal express services. This means that when you book an international expedited shipment with your national postal service, the shipment will most likely be delivered via the EMS express network.

How to track EMS courier service?

The tracking service for EMS courier services works a little differently than most tracking services. As always, you will receive a 13-digit tracking number that is unique to your EMS international package and allows you to locate and find out the delivery status of your EMS package while it is in transit. However, you may be redirected to the website of the national postal service where you originally booked the service when you introduce your EMS delivery tracking number on their website. It is also possible that you can only track your EMS parcel on your national postal service page. If you have problems tracking an EMS international package, we recommend that you contact the company directly.

How much is the EMS international shipping?

In short, EMS shipping rates are the rates for international shipping via national postal agencies that are part of the EMS courier service network. In most cases, you will not book delivery directly through EMS. Instead, you will book an international parcel delivery through your country post, which will be delivered via the EMS courier service network. Therefore, the price depends on the country you are shipping to, the destination and the size of the package.

What are the EMS package delivery dates and times?
