“This is the most anticipated resumption of delivery that the Ukrainians have been waiting for. We held dozens of meetings with our partner to assure him that we are working as usual and have already restored the pre-war speed. Now users can once again order delivery of goods from AliExpress directly from the site to a convenient branch or “Nova Poshta” post office. To do this, you need to specify the AliExpress Standard Shipping option and select the nearest operating branch / post office on the map, “Novaya Poshta Global CEO Yuri Benevitsky is quoted.
The postal operator notes that before the war, AliExpress headed the TOP of the most beloved foreign online stores of Ukrainians. On average, Novaya Poshta customers ordered about 2.6 tons of goods from AliExpress per day.
Currently, the updated AliExpress platform app is not available to users in Ukraine.
Nova Poshta Global, a part of the Nova Poshta Group, has started delivering parcels from China’s AliExpress trading platform to Ukraine by trucks.

“The pilot shipment showed that it is possible to meet the planned time of delivery by truck. In general, the journey from Urumchi to Warsaw took six days and the two more days to Kyiv. The transit and customs did not take a long time. We continue introducing the multimodal delivery services and testing new means of transport and routes in order to make delivery time as short as possible for our customers,” the press service quoted Nova Poshta Global CEO Yuriy Benevytsky as saying.
Now the company can deliver parcels from AliExpress by air, railway and motor vehicles.
