How shipping from China to Bulgaria actually works
Peregrine ships from China to Bulgaria in 6 to 10 days door-to-door, with the local last-mile carrier on every customer tracking page.
The market
Bulgaria is a 6.5M-customer EU market where Speedy and Econt parcel-shop networks trained buyers to expect pickup-point delivery as the default. Sofia clears IOSS parcels in under 24 hours and the IOSS framework keeps customs handling clean.
Local last-mile carrier on every package
Speedy and Econt dominate Bulgarian last-mile through 5,000+ combined pickup locations, with Bulgarian Posts on home delivery and DHL Express as a Pro tier alternate. The tracking page renders Bulgarian-language scan events and the China leg stays hidden.
De-minimis Abolished, VAT 20%
Since 1 July 2026, parcels under β¬150 no longer enter duty-free: the EU charges a flat β¬3 customs duty per item category. The store still collects 20% DDS at checkout through IOSS and remits it via the seller's EU registration. A single IOSS registration covers Bulgaria alongside Romania, Greece, and the rest of the EU.
Already on the lane

How does Bulgarian VAT (DDS) work on China-direct orders?
Under β¬150 per parcel: the store collects 20% DDS at checkout via an IOSS registration, remits to the EU, and since 1 July 2026 the parcel pays a flat β¬3 EU customs duty per item category when it clears Sofia customs. Over β¬150: DDS plus customs duty assessed at the border, paid by the recipient or pre-paid through the dashboard.
Will my customer see Speedy or Econt on tracking?

Are Speedy and Econt pickup points supported at checkout?
Yes. Both networks (more than 5,000 combined locations) are supported at checkout, and the dashboard routes parcels to the chosen pickup point. Pickup is included on standard service at no extra charge.
