eCommerce in Colombia 

Colombia is a large, Spanish-speaking country in South America and shares borders with Panama, Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru and has a population now of over 42 million with a vibrant economy. Recent economic developments have seen a noticeable shift towards industrial and service-based sectors, whilst Colombia accepts at least 1 million visitors every year.

eCommerce is growing quickly in Colombia, a survey made recently by VISA indicated the value of virtual transactions at over 3 billion dollars whilst it is on course to break the 5 billion dollar mark by 2018 indicating it to be a superpower in Latin America in terms of the eCommerce sector. Improved internet access and better courier infrastructure have been key in driving this increase. Technology is the most sought-after sector, closely followed by health and mobility.

The two current significant barriers to the market are; 

  • the fear of electronic payments and the technology around it
  • the lack of delivery services. 

Being able to ship to Colombia with a reliable courier service booked via our shipping marketplace can help you reach new customers. A fully tracked courier service with protection cover included would be welcomed by customers buying your products in Colombia. Likewise, friends or relatives would be happy to discover a delivery service they can trust.

Customs Info

When sending a parcel to Colombia, the consignee will need to have their first, surname and telephone number listed on the accompanying documentation. Furthermore, it should, ideally include a company letterhead if going to a business. Failure to do so is likely to delay customs clearance. You should also be aware that military equipment or even toys of war are prohibited and jewellery must go through a separate, official process.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer door to door delivery?

    The Parcel Monkey marketplace uses a shipping calculator to find the best prices for shipping your items door to door via a range of different couriers. 

    With full tracking on almost all of our delivery services, you can follow your package from the moment it leaves you until it arrives with the recipient. We always advise providing the contact number of the recipient so that if needed, the courier can contact them to resolve any issues with the delivery.

    Some of our courier services are delivered to a local Post Office, where the recipient will need to collect the package from such as with DHL eCommerce to some remote areas so it is essential to provide a working contact number. Items shipped with Parcel Monkey are also done so DDU, so it might be that Customs need to collect payment from the recipient before delivery. We offer Customs Advice to help with the completion of any Customs Documents.

  • Can I add protection cover to my order?

    When you place an order via the Parcel Monkey marketplace, during the booking process you can add protection cover to your item. As long as your item is not prohibited, has been packaged properly and you follow our Claims Procedure, you will be protected should your item be lost or damaged. 

    Some of our services offer no protection cover, but others do and some even offer free cover up to a certain value. You can view this information when you get a price via our shipping calculator. 

    Please ensure that the item is not on the prohibited items list as this will make it void.

    It is also vital to remember your package is going to be sent with global carriers, likely to be handled in various customs and airport departments so be sure to package the item correctly so it is well protected and cannot move around in the box.

  • How long will it take for my package to be delivered?

    Before you choose how to send your package, consider how quickly you need it to arrive. Transit times depend on two key factors- the shipping destination and the courier service you choose from the Parcel Monkey marketplace. 

    When choosing a courier from our marketplace, we will display an estimated delivery time, provided by the couriers themselves as they handle the goods.

    You can see how long it will take to arrive with the receiver and we advise that you share this tracking with the recipient so they can see when it is set to arrive. Always provide the recipient contact number when you book in case the delivery courier needs to contact them. 

    You can choose slower economy services such as DHL eCommerce if looking to save on the cost, or you can choose a speedy Express service that gets the package delivered more quickly like our 2-5 day International Drop Off service provided by FedEx, also available as a Pickup.
