Ukrposhta resumed delivery from the largest marketplaces and online stores: OLX, prom.ua, Rozetka, eva.ua, as well as online clothing stores, in particular, children’s clothing, consumer goods, children’s toys, goods for the home, etc., the company’s press service said on Friday.
“Now many Ukrainians are faced with the fact that it has become a problem to buy ordinary things in a store: due to logistical restrictions, when the store simply cannot deliver products on time, or due to a sharply growing demand due to internal migration, some groups of goods have temporary shortage. Ordering goods on the marketplace can partially solve the problem. Therefore, we are pleased to announce that Ukrposhta has resumed the delivery of online orders. Gradually, we will resume delivery from all sites that we worked with before the war, because we understand how important it is for our customers. In addition, the resumption of delivery from marketplaces will allow Ukrainian entrepreneurs to return to work, earn money and strengthen the economy,” Ukrposhta Deputy Director General for Business Development Olena Stepina was quoted as saying.
It is said that as of March 11, some 4,783 branches of Ukrposhta are operating. In addition, mobile departments leave for routes where it is safe.
Nova Poshta Global, part of the Nova Poshta group of companies, notes a 28% increase in Ukrainians’ orders from AliExpress compared to April last year.
According to a press release, in January-March of this year Nova Poshta Global delivered over 1,000 tonnes of goods from China and the United States by air.
“AliExpress continues to be a favorite foreign online store among Ukrainians, on which not only the number of orders has grown, but also the average check of purchases. If it was $6.6 amid quarantine, now it has grown to $11.6, and the number of orders of protective equipment and medical goods, including masks, respirators, thermometers, etc., rose. But the most popular categories of goods remain phone cases, cables, chargers, clothes, shoes, underwear and dietary supplements,” Nova Poshta Global notes.
Regarding popularity among Ukrainians, AliExpress, according to the company, is followed by the American online stores iHerb, Ebay, Amazon and 6p.m.
According to Nova Poshta Global, the number of orders from customers from Zhytomyr region doubled during quarantine. However, the most active buyers from abroad remain residents of large cities, namely Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro, and Lviv.
