“Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s largest logistics operator, has raised its tariffs for the delivery of documents, parcels and cargo by an average of UAH 10 on October 1.
As the company posted on its website on Monday, a number of fees have been canceled, including the fee for the declared value of parcels returned.
Starting from October 1, sending documents in a branded envelope, which is included in the price, costs UAH 65, delivery of parcels up to 2 kg in the city costs UAH 60, up to 10 kg – UAH 90, up to 30 kg – UAH 140. For delivery in Ukraine, parcels up to 2 kg cost UAH 80, up to 10 kg – UAH 110, up to 30 kg – UAH 160. Cargoes over 30 kg are delivered between branches in the city with a coefficient of +0.5 UAH/kg, between branches in Ukraine: + 1 UAH/kg.
The fixed cost of packaging for parcels up to 30 kg when sent through a post office is UAH 15. Parcels can be packed free of charge in a branded package for 0.5 kg, 1 kg, 2 kg and 4 kg.
Nova Poshta explained the need to increase tariffs by the rising prices for energy – electricity and fuel – as well as rising consumer prices and inflation.
“By updating the tariffs, we are simultaneously introducing new technologies and improving the provision of services. The increase in tariffs will allow us to continue working and create an opportunity for Ukrainians to receive their parcels as quickly as possible,” Nova Poshta said in a statement.
It is noted that the company’s customers still have access to free services, including the service of return from the buyer to the seller if the goods do not fit; free parcel forwarding in Ukraine.
