Riga to Astana is more than three thousand kilometres, and Almaty is nearly four thousand away - yet by air a parcel covers the distance in a few working days. Compare UPS and FedEx in one calculator: a courier collects the shipment from your address, the customs invoice is generated as you book, and the tracking number lets you follow the parcel all the way to the door of the recipient.
To Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia — the rest of Europe is coming soon.
Riga to Astana is more than three thousand kilometres, and Almaty is nearly four thousand away - yet by air a parcel covers the distance in a few working days. Compare UPS and FedEx in one calculator: a courier collects the shipment from your address, the customs invoice is generated as you book, and the tracking number lets you follow the parcel all the way to the door of the recipient.
YouSend pools the shipments of dozens of eBay, Amazon and Etsy sellers into a single flow and earns wholesale discounts from the carriers - and every customer sees those special rates right in the calculator. Both carriers fly to Kazakhstan: there is no road service on this route, so even the economy options are a matter of working days rather than weeks. People send all sorts: documents to business partners in Astana and Almaty, samples and spare parts to Karaganda, parcels to family in Shymkent.
UPS offers one service on this route - Express Saver: by air, to the door of the recipient, typically 2-6 working days. There is no transit time guarantee here, so if the delivery date is critical, compare it with FedEx Priority in the calculator.
International Priority is the fastest way to get documents and urgent parcels to Kazakhstan: 1-3 working days. For anything less urgent there are Economy and Connect Plus - also by air, 4-6 working days at a gentler price.
The whole process takes a few minutes and there is no need to go anywhere: the courier collects the parcel from the address you choose.

Kazakhstan is not in the European Union - it belongs to the Eurasian Economic Union, and on arrival a parcel from Latvia goes through customs clearance under EAEU rules. For you that means one extra step when booking: describe the contents and state their value. The system generates the customs invoice from those details and passes it to the carrier electronically - no forms, no stamps and no trips to a customs office.
The bottom line: all customs paperwork is handled at the moment of booking - there is no separate trip to a customs office.
The restrictions come from carrier rules and the customs legislation of the EAEU and Kazakhstan. Before you ship, make sure the contents are not on the prohibited list: the carrier will refuse such a parcel, or customs will stop it.
Good packaging protects the contents in transit and counts in your favour if a claim is ever reviewed. We have put together a detailed guide: choosing the box, protecting fragile items, the drop test and photographing what you pack.
Read the packing guideFedEx International Priority is the fastest: 1-3 working days to Astana, Almaty and other cities. The FedEx economy services, Economy and Connect Plus, take 4-6 working days. UPS Express Saver is typically 2-6 working days, with no transit time guarantee. Everything goes by air; bear in mind that carrier transit times do not include any possible delay in customs clearance.
The price depends on the weight, the dimensions and the service: FedEx Priority express costs more than Economy or Connect Plus. The calculator works out the exact price in a minute - free, with no registration, and already with our wholesale discount applied. Companies that ship to Kazakhstan regularly get terms quoted individually - just message a manager.
You need a customs invoice: Kazakhstan is in the EAEU, and a parcel from Latvia goes through customs clearance. You do not fill it in by hand - the invoice is generated as you book, from the description and value of the contents. On import, the recipient may be charged duties and taxes under EAEU and Kazakhstan rules; give a working phone number for the recipient so that the carrier can more easily arrange delivery and payment.
Yes. The courier comes wherever suits you: home, office or warehouse. You set the collection address and time when you book, and from there the parcel travels door to door - to the recipient in Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, Karaganda or another city in Kazakhstan.
It is a long way: a flight, several transfers at sorting hubs and a possible inspection at customs. Use a sturdy box, leave room for cushioning on every side, wrap fragile items separately and tape the seams shut. Detailed instructions with diagrams are in our packing guide.
Yes. You get a tracking number as soon as the shipment is on its way, and you can follow its status on our tracking page all the way - from courier collection in Latvia to delivery to the recipient in Kazakhstan.
Get a price in a minute: compare UPS and FedEx air services - from the fastest Priority to the economy options - and book online. The courier collects the parcel from your address, and the customs invoice is generated for you.
