Ukrposhta JSC has reduced the delivery time for shipments from Ukraine to the United States to 14 days from 20 days earlier, Yulia Pavlenko, director of the international operations department of Ukrposhta JSC, said in an exclusive video interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
“Currently, Ukrposhta’s delivery times abroad are 7-21 days in Europe, depending on the country, and up to two weeks in the United States,” Pavlenko said, adding that previously, delivery to the United States took up to 20 days.
According to her, the company managed to reduce the delivery time of shipments from Ukraine abroad thanks to cooperation with DHL, one of the world’s largest logistics companies.
“Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, I had a great desire to agree with DHL to accept Ukrposhta’s shipments on their planes. It was not immediately possible to agree on this – we had different samples of documents – Ukrposhta had a postal sample, and DHL had a sample of an express carrier. However, it happened, and recently, DHL Global Match, a special division of DHL in London, has been receiving full trucks from Ukraine. Ukrposhta’s cargoes are loaded onto DHL Aviation aircraft (DHL’s worldwide air transportation division – IF-U). I am very pleased with the pace we have during the season and off-season thanks to this cooperation,” Pavlenko said.
As it is known, Ukrposhta delivers parcels and correspondence to/from Ukraine to 190 countries.
The full interview with Yulia Pavlenko, Director of the International Operations Department of Ukrposhta, will be available soon on the website of Interfax-Ukraine at www.interfax.com.ua.
