Whoever wants the shipment to reach Poland before April 5th must send it by Thursday, March 19th at the latest.
For Polamer, the Easter season is the busiest time of the year, second only to Christmas. The company, which has been sending packages to Poland and Europe from anywhere in the USA for over fifty years, handles thousands of shipments during these weeks – from small gift boxes, through gift sets, to containers with relocation property. Polamer’s four offices on the East Coast – on Greenpoint Avenue in Brooklyn, on Flushing Avenue in Maspeth, on Main Avenue in Wallington, and on Cox Street in Roselle, New Jersey – operate at full capacity then.
Why March 19th, and not later?
Easter in 2026 falls on April 5th. Air parcels need seven to ten business days to reach the recipient in Poland from Polamer’s office in the USA – including customs clearance at Chopin Airport in Warsaw and handover to a local courier. Additionally, during the pre-holiday period, the volume of shipments jumps several times, which extends sorting time.
And here’s the catch. Many Poles in America assume that it’s enough to send a package a week before the holidays. Meanwhile, a week before Easter is already too late for air travel.
– Before every holiday, we repeat: don’t wait until the last day. The March 19th deadline provides a realistic time buffer. Whoever brings a package a week earlier sleeps soundly – says a representative of Polamer Inc.
Not just packages – Polamer is an entire ecosystem of services for the Polish diaspora
Polamer is a company that offers much more than just sending boxes under one roof. The print advertisement in the Polish-American Phone Book shows the full picture: air and sea packages to Poland and Europe, 20- and 40-foot containers from anywhere in the USA to any address in Poland, shipping cars, motorcycles, and boats, relocation property, commercial shipments, as well as the PolamerSEND service – which allows sending a package from any state without the need to visit an office.
But that’s not all. Polamer sells airline tickets to Poland, organizes all-inclusive vacations, enables sending flowers to any address in Poland, and offers ready-made gift sets for every occasion. You can also send dollars to Poland – for cash pickup, to a bank account, or with home delivery.
Sounds familiar? For many families in Greenpoint, Maspeth, or Wallington, Polamer is simply “our company” – a place where everything connecting them to Poland is handled. From a package with jeans for a grandchild to a transfer for mom in Radom.

What do Poles most often send for Easter?
Easter packages from the USA are a separate category. It’s not just about chocolate bunnies from Walgreens. Polish families pack American sweets, clothes, cosmetics, dietary supplements unavailable in Polish pharmacies, and small electronics. Sometimes, a Mets logo T-shirt and a package of D3 vitamin gummies for great-grandma end up in one box.
Attention – this is important. When packing, it’s worth checking air travel restrictions. Perfumes, lithium batteries, aerosols – these are items that can hold up the entire package at customs clearance. It’s best to ask at the Polamer office before packing – employees know the regulations and will advise what can be sent and what should be removed from the box.
Where to send a package? Four offices, all of America
Polamer operates offices at 167 Greenpoint Avenue in Brooklyn (tel. 718-349-1320), 64-02 Flushing Avenue in Maspeth (718-326-2260), 130 Main Avenue in Wallington, NJ (973-779-6613), and 275 Cox Street in Roselle, NJ (908-352-9100). For those who live outside the reach of the offices, there is PolamerSEND – a package shipping service from anywhere in the United States.
– Founded in Chicago in 1972, we have been helping the Polish diaspora maintain ties with loved ones in the homeland for over fifty years. We know what we’re doing and we do it best – adds the company representative. – This is especially evident at Easter. Every package is a piece of America that lands on a Polish table.
Since its inception, Polamer has supported Polish and Polish-American culture – sponsoring concerts and performances by Polish artists in the USA. By using Polamer’s services, customers not only send a shipment but also support a Polish company with over fifty years of tradition.
