Remember! You will soon be able to send a registered letter without a stamp.
We would like to remind you that from February 1, 2021, it will no longer be possible to pay for domestic and foreign registered letters with stamps.
Beginning in February 2021, Poczta Polska (Polish Post) is standardizing the fee for registered letter shipments, both domestically and internationally. All registered letter shipments can be shipped in the same manner as parcels or valuables, i.e., without a postage stamp. Customers simply need to complete the shipping confirmation and hand the shipment over to a Postal Service employee for shipment. A Postal Service employee will affix the shipping fee confirmation to a dedicated R label, which will be expanded with a dedicated field for this purpose. Eliminating the need to affix stamps to registered letter shipments will not only simplify the shipping process but also significantly reduce processing time at the post office.
A similar solution is also used by foreign postal operators, including Germany, France, Slovakia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and Hungary.
Postage stamps can still be used to pay for unregistered letter shipments and for collecting purposes.
" Poczta Polska is taking a number of measures to reduce the risk of the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Due to the state of epidemiological threat, solutions and processes requiring minimal contact are being implemented. Water misters used to moisten postage stamps for affixing them to letters have been withdrawn from use at post offices. This will allow Poczta Polska to further enhance the safety of its customers and employees, " says Andrzej Bodziony, Vice President of Poczta Polska.
At the same time, we also recommend that customers, for their own safety and the safety of our employees, use cashless payments, such as by card or phone. This will also shorten customer service times and queue times.
