Give the postman a chance - remember to have a letter box. And check new e-services
Are you waiting for an important letter? Check if your postman has access to the inbox to deliver the parcel or leave a notification about the leaves when he does not find you. And if you rarely go home and you don't have time to go to the Polish Post Office on the list, see below how notification and electronic service services work.
Do you live in a single -family building, and you do not have an inbox installed in a place available to the postman? You should take care of it as soon as possible.
The obligation to have a mailbox
Pursuant to art. 40 of the Postal Law Act, every owner or co -owner of a residential property or land on which the residential building is located is obliged to place a mailbox in an easily accessible place. Having a box affects the quality and effectiveness of providing correspondence.
The mailbox must meet certain requirements. In single -family buildings, it should be located in front of the building door or in a public part of the property. In multi -family buildings, where there are more than three premises, the box must be located in the public part. Each place is a separate mailbox.
That's what the law says. Unfortunately, in the work of postmen, there is often a problem caused by the lack of boxes at single -family houses, the lack of marking of the property with plates with the name of the street or town and the house number, as well as difficult access to the inboxes in multi -family buildings.
The ubiquitous fence of housing estates means that postmen have a problem with getting to the property and providing correspondence. In many cases, the boxes are placed behind the gates or on closed staircases, where there is no one to let the postman. Unfortunately, cooperatives and housing communities are rarely willing to make available to postmen codes or keys, or to locate boxes so that there is free access to them. If your postman has difficult access to mailboxes, it is worth recalling a cooperative or a community to change the location of boxes to more easily available.
Poczta Polska also appears to the owners of building and premises asking for placing departure boxes in accordance with applicable regulations or handing over input codes or keys enabling free access to them. Heads of local structures of Poczta Polska also cooperate with municipal offices to remind residents of the obligations arising from the regulations.
What should be emphasized, there are no legal grounds for a company that owns the property and a building located there that must have a mailbox in this area. However, having such a box will certainly facilitate the post office to provide correspondence to employees and owners of this company, and will save them time.
Do you rarely go home? Use post e-services
Poczta Polska also reminds of the possibility of using services to facilitate the reception of correspondence, such as recommended to the box . This service consists of throwing addressed shipments to the letter box. The request for delivery of registered mail to the mailbox can be submitted on paper, but also in electronic form. The electronic form is available on the Poczta Polska . The paper version of the request form can be obtained at a post office or downloaded from the Poczta Polska website. The completed form is enough to submit to a post office or transfer to a postman.
E-INFO Adwizo also operates -a free service, enabling receipt of information on the expectation of a parcel at a post office. Information is sent by SMS or by e -mail, depending on the customer's choice. Such an instruction can be submitted to any post office or online.
And if we prefer to do everything online, we can set up an e-mailbox , for which we will receive correspondence, e.g. from electronic offices. And with the help of the e-Polecony Polish Post Office, it is also safe, quickly and electronically corresponding as part of the e-mail package. The service is available for: companies, entrepreneurs, natural persons, associations, lawyers. To use it, it is necessary to have an address for electronic service (ADE).
E-arranges allow you to safely send and receive documents with official power confirmation that the message was sent and received. From January 1, 2025, the service is compulsory for public institutions (such as local governments or tax offices) and for public trust professions (e.g. lawyers, legal advisers, accounting). For individual users of e-arranges, they are not mandatory, but it is worth using them, because it is a significant simplification. Thanks to the e-demonstration, you no longer have to go to the post office to pick up or send important documents, and the whole process can be done online, from anywhere with access to the network.
Of course, if a private person does not want or cannot use this electronic form of communication, Poczta Polska offers an alternative in the form of a public hybrid service (PUH) . Thanks to it, if the sender sends the document electronically, and the recipient does not have an e-demonstration box, Poczta Polska will print this document (in a safe and automated manner), and the postman will deliver it to the house, as it has happened so far.
