Olive Harvest 2025 — The Story of Our Most Successful (and Most Challenging) Harvest Yet
Rain, breakdowns, challenges... nothing could stop us from completing this year’s olive harvest! Read all about how it went. ✅
How much is one litre of your extra virgin olive oil? € 24? OK. What about shipping costs to London? WHAT??? Fifteen Euro? Are you guys nuts? 🙂
It is not seldom we have such correspondence. Therefore we decided to shed some light on shipping costs. Share some info which might not be familiar to everyone.
First of all, there are numerous delivery companies in Croatia. We opted for two: Croatian post and DPD.
Let’s skip to the main topic. The rule of thumb is: the bigger the quantity you order, the less the shipping costs will be per each ordered litre.
As an example, below we provide you with a comparison between shipping costs for 3 and 9 bottles of 1 litre each. The delivery address (in this example) is London, UK. *
| Number of ordered 1 litre bottles | Estimated parcel weight | Total shipping costs to London | Delivery cost per bottle |
| 3 bottles | 5,2 kg | € 37.00 | € 12.33 |
| 9 bottles | 14,2 kg | € 39.00 | € 4.33 |
* This projection is made with current DPD prices.

A few days ago we shipped a parcel containing 6 litres of our EVOO Bilini in decorative wooden crates to Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Shipping costs: 59.00 EUR. It is interesting to analyze the difference in cost of delivery:
Until now, we sent several parcels featuring only one bottle in decorative wooden box to various addresses in the States. The shipping cost always amounted to 33.00 EUR. Not cheap. Especially when you take into consideration that a litre of our EVOO Bilini in a wooden decorative crate costs 32.00 EUR. ?
Today we’ve had a request for shipping to Australia. Get this: a 5-litre tin can with EVOO Bilini costs 113.50 EUR. Shipping cost of that package to Brisbane: 67.00 EUR. Should that customer place an order for two such tin cans, the shipping would cost the same!
Our point is: plan your order and save money. ?
