BPD Express: a structured way to ship from Austria

BPD Express is a German postal operator with more than 30 years of international delivery experience. We support private shippers across Europe and deliver parcels and documents to Russia, as well as to Ukraine, Crimea, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Georgia, and Belarus.

For Austria to Russia shipping in 2026, the workflow is designed to be predictable: you book online, receive a free label, and choose the handover method — request free home courier pickup or drop the parcel off via Austria’s national post. The shipment is routed to our Germany hub, where the actual weight is recorded and an invoice is issued. After payment, the parcel is forwarded to the recipient in Russia.
