Transit times from Bulgaria
Counted from collection. Express is a dedicated vehicle that leaves when the goods are ready; standard is a scheduled groupage line. The same figures apply in the opposite direction.
| Country | Express | Standard | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Germany | 2–3 days | 3–5 days | Daily departures on the Sofia–Munich–Frankfurt corridor. |
| Italy | 2–3 days | 4–6 days | Northern Italy is on the scheduled line; the south is quoted per shipment. |
| Greece | up to 24 h | 1–2 days | Thessaloniki is a direct line from Sofia; Athens adds a day. |
| Romania | 1–2 days | 2–3 days | Bucharest and the Transylvanian industrial towns. |
| Poland | 1–2 days | 2–4 days | Via Hungary and Slovakia; Kraków and Warsaw are the usual delivery points. |
| Hungary | 2–3 days | 3–4 days | Budapest and the western industrial belt. |
| Austria | 2–3 days | 3–4 days | Vienna and Graz on the Germany line. |
| Czech Republic | 2–3 days | 3–4 days | Prague and Brno. |
| Serbia | up to 24 h | 1–2 days | Non-EU — customs formalities at the border are arranged separately. |

What moves these figures
- Departure day. A standard line leaves on fixed days. Goods ready the day after a departure wait for the next one — that is where most of the spread between "3" and "5" comes from.
- Delivery slot. Warehouses that receive only in the morning, or only by appointment, can add a day at the far end.
- Customs. Serbia and North Macedonia are outside the EU; clearance time is not in the table.
- ADR and temperature-controlled goods travel on the same lines but cannot always be consolidated, so a dedicated vehicle is sometimes the only option.
Not on the list? Most of Europe is reachable; we quote the rest per shipment.
