Poczta Polska launches the first 200 new packages
Poczta Polska commissioned the first parcel machines in Warsaw. Until the end of October this year, 200 machines of this type will operate throughout Poland. Self -service devices will join the dynamically developing network Receipt at the point, thanks to which Poczta Polska's customers decide where and when they will receive their parcel.
Poczta Polska Poczta Machines will be found in separate zones available 24 hours a day in post offices and in Biedronka stores. By the end of August, at least 100 such vending machines in Warsaw, Łódź, Krakow, Rzeszów, Poznań, Wrocław, Szczecin, the Tri -City and Silesia will be launched. The remaining 100 machines will be commissioned by the end of October, i.e. before the Christmas Paczkowy peak.
Studies show that with the development of ecommerce, Poles' preferences and habits change in the method of delivery of shipments in favor of increasingly frequently chosen receipt points. According to post data, nearly 25 percent of packages in 2018 were received by customers in the network of acceptance points. Thanks to parcel vending machines, customers of Poczta Polska will gain an additional place from which they will be able to pick up their parcels.
The first parcel machine was launched in the newly opened branch of Poczta Polska located at the Port Praga estate at ul. J. Sierakowski 5 in Warsaw. Another five machines in the Poczta Polska network are already operating in Biedronka in Warsaw.
In installed parcel machines, customers will be able to collect e.g. their online purchases, including products bought thanks to the Allegro Smart service, in which Poczta Polska cooperates with Allegro, the leader of online sales in Poland.
The possibility of collecting a parcel in a self -service machine is the third most frequently chosen form of receipt after delivery by courier and personal collection. These data are confirmed by the Gemius 2018 report "Ecommerce in Poland", which shows that a group of people actively shopping online is in the age range 15–49, of which more than half indicates a self -service machine as a form of delivery motivating for shopping online.
