Ukrposhta 13 announced in August the launch of production and installation of 1000 new outdoor parcel lockers across Ukraine. The new terminals will be installed primarily in Kyiv, Odesa, Lviv, Dnipro, and other large cities. The company is already searching for HOA associations (homeowners associations), managing companies, and housing complexes ready to host parcel lockers near their buildings. Applications are accepted on the Ukrposhta website.
This was stated by Ukrposhta’s CEO Ihor Smilyanyk in his Telegram channel. The project will be implemented in partnership with Modern-Ekspo, which Smilyansky described as the leader of the Ukrainian parcel locker market. The new terminals will have not only compartments for receiving parcels but also modern mailboxes for sending letters.
"I know that many people have been waiting for this and regularly asking: when will Ukrposhta’s parcel locker be right near your home? So we’re starting," wrote Ihor Smilyanyk, Ukrposhta’s CEO, in his Telegram channel.
Smilyanyk noted that demand for parcel lockers significantly exceeds the planned first thousand devices. According to him, the company will continue purchasing and installing its own terminals and will also expand the network through partner parcel lockers.
To obtain a parcel locker, HOA representatives or managing companies must complete several steps:
submit an application on the Ukrposhta website indicating the location;
wait for a contact from the company to verify the installation site;
agree on the terms of cooperation and sign a contract;
wait for the parcel locker to be installed at the chosen site.
"But now let’s find the best locations for this first thousand. So to speak, the ‘Parcel Locker Support’ program in action," added Ihor Smilyansky, Ukrposhta’s CEO.
Expanded the self-service network across the country
Outdoor terminals will allow residents to receive packages without visiting branches and without being tied to their working hours. The company is targeting densely populated housing complexes in large cities where demand for online delivery is traditionally the highest.
The expansion of the terminal network continues amid active development of Ukrposhta’s self-service services in recent months. The company is gradually moving from classic branches to automated pickup points that reduce customer waiting times.
Developed terminals in branches and outdoors
Earlier, Informator reported that Ukrposhta is launching parcel lockers in its branches to speed up order pickup without queues. In the first stage, such compartments appeared in 400 branches, primarily in million-plus cities and regional centers, and the project started from Kyiv and the Kyiv region. We also wrote that Ukrposhta parcel lockers appeared in Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk, and the company planned to roll them out in three more regions.
