Poczta Polska is updating its universal postal service price list. Changes effective October 1, 2022.
The "Price List for Universal Services in Domestic and International Trade" will be modified from October 1, 2022. The changes have already been adopted by the President of the Office of Electronic Communications.
Poczta Polska, as the designated operator, ensures access to universal postal services for all citizens, provided to a high standard, in a uniform manner, and on comparable terms. To this end, the Company maintains an extensive network of post offices and mailboxes throughout the country. Access to the designated operator's services is available five days a week (and in some cases, even seven days a week) throughout the country. Under the applicable provisions of the Postal Law, Poczta Polska cannot close unprofitable offices or eliminate loss-making services. Such obligations do not affect competitors. Other entities operating in the postal services market, unlike the Company, can only be guided by business calculations and cost efficiency.
New price list from October 1, 2022
Rising labor and transportation costs, a global increase in the prices of raw materials used by the Company, and declining letter volumes, combined with continued high investment in improving market competitiveness, have prompted price adjustments for domestic mail. The scale of price increases for selected domestic services is no more than a dozen percent, and in most cases, only a few percent. For example, the price of popular unregistered and registered letters in the most frequently used S and M formats will increase by 0.30 PLN. Popular A-size parcels, on the other hand, will cost 1 PLN more.
It's worth emphasizing that for the average Pole, who sends fewer and fewer letters, this will mean an additional expense of several złotys per year. For Poczta Polska, even a small price adjustment translates into additional revenue, enabling it to open new post offices and maintain those less frequently visited by customers, located in rural areas.
The applicable prices for international shipments will remain unchanged.
