Ukrposhta to launch network of parcel delivery agencies in cafes and shops

8 February , 2026  

Ukrposhta plans to launch parcel delivery agent points in cafes, shops, and other service locations at the end of the first quarter of 2026, the company’s CEO Ihor Smelyansky told Interfax-Ukraine.

“They sign a contract with us for parcel delivery, and we pay them for each delivery. In other words, this does not entail any capital expenditures or expensive repairs. After all, the most effective thing is to quickly expand the network so that it is convenient and profitable for our customers to receive parcels,” Smelyansky explained.

The CEO of Ukrposhta added that the project is currently in the testing phase, and residents of Kyiv can already receive parcels at nine pilot locations.

“Of course, we will monitor the quality to ensure that the quality of parcel delivery is maintained and that all the rules that must be followed are followed. And we will continue to attract new partners,” Smelyansky emphasized.

Separately, the company plans to install about 1,000 parcel machines in early 2026, as well as update its mobile app, which will allow customers to manage their parcels in a way that is convenient for them, including redirecting shipments to other branches or parcel machines.

Earlier, in a comment to the agency, Ukrposhta reported that in 2026 it plans a large-scale modernization of its network of branches throughout the country.

Currently, the company has more than 6,000 branches and 26,000 service points throughout Ukraine.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, Ukrposhta received a net profit of UAH 257.9 million, which is 69.2% more than in the same period in 2024, due to additional income from the sale of the company’s property, which amounted to UAH 168 million.

The national postal operator increased its revenue in the fourth quarter by UAH 10.7 million compared to the same period in 2024, to UAH 3 billion 601.6 million.
