Starting February 1, Ukrposhta JSC has introduced new weight categories with discounts for the Small Package Prime, the company’s press service reports.
According to Ukrposhta’s announcement on Wednesday, the company has introduced new weight categories with discounts starting February 1: 0-100 g, 500-750 g and 750 g-1 kg. The largest discount of up to 15% applies to shipments weighing up to 100 g. The discount in the 500-700 g category is 10%.
Delivery of small items weighing up to 100 g to the United States will now cost about UAH 270, and to European countries – from UAH 250. You need to pay only for the actual weight, not the volume, the post says.
Volume loyalty programs for Ukrposhta’s regular corporate and individual customers will remain in effect.
