Polamer, Inc. reminds customers that the deadline for Christmas sea shipments to Poland is Thursday, November 5, 2026. It is the final date to send a holiday parcel by sea and still expect it to reach family in Poland before Christmas Eve. Parcels can be dropped off at the nearest Polamer location or shipped online.
“Sending a package for Christmas?” With that question, Polamer, a company that has connected Polish Americans with their families in Poland for decades, is announcing the last call for holiday sea shipments. The first date, October 29, has already passed. One final deadline remains: Thursday, November 5, 2026. For many families, a box from America, filled with gifts, sweets, and things that are hard to find in Poland, is still an important part of Christmas.
When is the last day to send a sea parcel to Poland for Christmas?
According to Polamer, the deadline for Christmas sea shipments is Thursday, November 5. A parcel sent after that date will still sail to Poland, but there is no longer any assurance it will arrive before the holidays. Ocean transport takes several weeks, and December brings a surge in shipments, so the safest plan is to wrap things up in the next few days.
If your box is already packed, there is no reason to wait. If you are still gathering the contents, you have a few days left for shopping, writing up the list, and visiting a drop-off point. For details on dates and current shipping rules, the best source is Polamer itself.
How do you pack a Christmas parcel for Poland?
A holiday box is usually a mix of gifts, sweets, clothing, and small “American” items that relatives look forward to every year. A well-packed parcel means less stress for the sender and fewer surprises for the recipient. A few simple rules help avoid problems and delays:
- Plan the contents ahead of time – make a list of everything you want to send and write it down precisely; you will need it for the paperwork.
- Choose a sturdy box – a sea parcel travels a long way, so put heavy items on the bottom and fill empty spaces so nothing shifts.
- Protect fragile items – wrap glass, cosmetics, and electronics separately and label them.
- Check what cannot be shipped – before packing, ask Polamer for the list of prohibited items and the current customs rules.
- Provide complete recipient details – full name, exact address in Poland, and a phone number so the courier can get in touch at delivery.
- Leave the box open until drop-off – if staff ask to check the contents, there is nothing to tear open.
Sea or air parcel for the holidays?
A sea parcel is the right choice when you are sending more items and can ship early, which is exactly why its Christmas deadline falls at the beginning of November. When time is short or the gift is light, air shipping is the faster option; ask Polamer about its holiday dates. Which one to choose depends on the weight of the box, its contents, and how much time is left before Christmas.

Where do you drop off a parcel: in person or online?
Polamer encourages customers to bring their parcels to the nearest Polamer location, where staff help with the paperwork and answer questions about the contents. The second option is to ship online through www.polamerusa.com: you register the shipment from home, with no waiting in line, which saves a lot of time during the busy holiday season.
Whichever route you choose, what counts is the date the parcel is accepted, so it is worth taking care of it before Thursday, November 5. Residents of New York, New Jersey, and the Chicago area will find Polamer locations listed on the company’s website.
