Buy from French stores and ship to Sri Lanka

French retailers that will not deliver to Sri Lanka will deliver to Cyprus. Take a free Limassol address with your own suite number, use it at checkout, and we forward the parcel on — consolidated, repacked if it helps, with the customs paperwork done properly.

Why people use a Cyprus address for this

French beauty and sporting retailers are a steady source of parcels through our Limassol suite.

Sri Lanka is a reliable lane by air, with clearance in Colombo the main variable in the timeline.

A typical France to Sri Lanka shipment

Say you order electronics from Fnac, then spot something else at Darty two days later. Both land at your Limassol suite inside 4–9 days. Left as they are, the two retail boxes plus packaging bill as roughly 21.6 kg of volumetric weight on the leg to Sri Lanka — because carriers charge for the size of the box, not what is in it.

Repacked into one box by our warehouse
14.0 kg billable
Air you stop paying to fly to Sri Lanka
7.6 kg

From there it is 4–10 working days by express or 8–21 working days by post to Sri Lanka, plus clearance. Consolidation costs €5 per extra parcel merged in and repacking €6 — on this lane that is usually recovered several times over.

Questions

Can I really buy from France and have it delivered in Sri Lanka?
Yes. You get a Limassol street address with your own suite number, use it at a French retailer's checkout, and we forward the parcel on to Sri Lanka. The retailer only ever ships domestically or within the EU, which is usually the cheap part.
How long does it take?
Two legs. 4–9 days for the retailer to reach our warehouse, then 4–10 working days by express or 8–21 working days by post to Sri Lanka. Customs clearance at the far end sits on top of that.
What does it cost?
Opening the account is free and you pay only when you ship. Cyprus Post's published rate to Sri Lanka is €21.00 for a 2 kg parcel and €30.00 by EMS; we show those next to live FedEx rates for your exact weight, add a handling margin, and that is the price.
Will I pay duty in Sri Lanka?
Possibly — import duty and taxes are charged by Sri Lanka's customs, not by us, and the thresholds change. We show an estimate before you pay rather than guessing. Duty applies broadly and electronics in particular are assessed on arrival.
Can I combine several French orders into one shipment?
That is the part that saves the most money. Carriers bill on volumetric weight, so three half-empty retail boxes can cost far more than one packed properly. Leave the parcels with us and we consolidate them before the onward leg.

Your Cyprus address is ready in about a minute.

Free to open. You only pay when you ship something to Sri Lanka.
