The national postal operator, JSC “Ukrposhta,” in partnership with Kasta, is launching the “Ukrposhta Market” marketplace, which offers access to over 10 million products and free delivery to post offices throughout Ukraine.
“This isn’t just another marketplace—it’s a unique one with its own specific positioning: to enable people in every corner of Ukraine to get everything they need, even when air raid sirens are sounding and nearby stores are closed,” explained Ukrposhta CEO Ihor Smiliansky on his Telegram channel on Wednesday.
According to him, to use “Ukrposhta Market,” users need to download or update the “Ukrposhta 2.0” app.
Smiliansky also noted that the marketplace is not subsidized by the government and is a market-driven project.
Among other things, the CEO of the national postal operator added that the service is aimed, in particular, at users who want to buy necessary goods without waiting for their orders to accumulate in order to qualify for free shipping.
“However, studies show that it is the ‘Z-generation’ that expects instant gratification of their immediate desires. And they don’t want to wait until their shopping cart is full to get free shipping. There’s no need to wait at all,” Smiliansky stated in his message.
JSC “Ukrposhta” is the national postal operator in Ukraine.
As previously reported, Ukrposhta increased its revenue by 4.2% in the first half of this year—to 6.776 billion hryvnias—and posted a net profit of 92 million hryvnias, compared to a net loss of 312 million hryvnias in the first half of last year.
The national postal operator has 7,200 customer service locations, including 2,000 mobile postal branches that serve 21,300 settlements. The average number of employees at the national postal operator for the second quarter of 2026 was 25,800, and the average salary was 20,300 UAH.

The period for free storage of documents, packages, cargo, and tires/wheels at “Nova Poshta” branches will be reduced to five days instead of seven starting October 1, the company announced on its website.
“Today, the speed of receiving shipments is a guarantee of safety. Given the constant hostile attacks on civilian infrastructure, the less time a shipment spends at a branch, the lower the risk of it being lost or damaged,” Nova Poshta explained regarding these changes.
As noted, currently 97% of shipments are picked up by customers within the first five days.
“Nova Poshta” also clarified that the free storage period for pallets remains unchanged at three days.
As for parcel lockers, according to information on the company’s website, orders can be picked up from them within five days, after which the package will be transferred to the branch closest to the locker.
Nova Post, part of the Nova Group, has entered the Canadian market, bringing the total number of countries where it operates to 18, according to a company statement released on Wednesday.
“Canada, like all of North America, is one of the key directions for Nova Post’s international expansion,” Oleksiy Taranenko, CBDO of the NOVA Group, is quoted as saying in the release.
According to him, the company has already processed over 3,000 shipments, most of which consisted of goods from Ukrainian manufacturers.
The next steps are expected to include further network expansion, the introduction of a franchise program, the launch of new products, and faster delivery times.
Nova Post clarified that customers can arrange international shipments from Canada online via the company’s website or mobile app, as well as drop off a package at one of 1,100 partner UPS stores or hand it over to a courier.
It is noted that delivery time between Canada and Ukraine starts at 5 days. Shipping costs from Canada to Ukraine are CAD 37 for documents and packages up to 1 kg; CAD 47 for packages up to 2 kg; CAD 99 for packages up to 10 kg; and CAD 215 for packages up to 30 kg.
Nova Post reminded customers that it is possible to ship goods from Ukraine to Canada without paying import duties. This service is made possible by the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement (CUFTA).
Specifically, for most shipments, only the harmonized sales tax (HST) is payable, which the sender can pay when arranging delivery; however, no tax applies to packages valued at up to 20 CAD (625 UAH).
As reported in early August, Nova Post has opened 266 new service locations since the beginning of 2026, thereby expanding its presence to 16 countries and 235 cities.
The largest number of new service points were opened in Moldova—155—followed by Poland—63—Spain—18—the Czech Republic—14—Germany—11—Slovakia—2—and one service point each in Austria, Italy, and Romania.
Vyacheslav Klimov, co-owner of Nova Poshta, noted during the “Dialogues with NV” event dedicated to European integration that Nova Post Europe, part of the NOVA Group, plans to double its network of branches in Europe by 2026 and keep its strategic focus on ensuring the fastest possible delivery times.
The national postal operator, JSC “Ukrposhta,” is joining the updated government service “Marriage Online 2.0,” through which it will provide international delivery of marriage certificates to Ukrainians in three phases to 48 countries in Europe and around the world, the company announced on Monday.
“In collaboration with the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the designated postal operator will provide international delivery of marriage certificates to Ukrainians abroad,” reads the Ukrposhta press release.
It is noted that this project is a pilot initiative for the national postal operator. Consequently, the conditions for further expansion will be determined based on the results of its implementation.
It is expected that the list of destinations, delivery times, and costs will be announced with each launch.
“With the launch of international delivery, the entire process—from submitting an application and conducting a video ceremony to receiving the final document—will be as convenient as possible, regardless of the country where the couple is located,” the company explains.
Ukrposhta added that the “Marriage Online 2.0” service has been operating in Ukraine for two years. In 2026, 40% of all marriages were registered electronically.

It is from here that we handle the sorting, customs clearance, and processing of international shipments,” said Andriy Artemenko, CEO of Nova Post in the Czech Republic, as quoted in the press release.

Among other things, Nova Post in the Czech Republic plans to strengthen its cooperation with Czech e-commerce companies, “so that even more online stores choose Nova Post as their logistics partner for deliveries within the Czech Republic, Europe, and worldwide,” Artemenko emphasized.
