Poland’s largest marketplace, Allegro, plans from June of this year to introduce delivery from Polish sellers on the platform to Ukraine, and in the future to create a separate Allegro.ua platform for Ukrainian companies, according to a report by the Polish publication Wiadomosci Handlowe, citing sources.
“We are observing a clear growth trend in cross-border e-commerce and growing interest from foreign customers, including from Ukraine. In order to support our partners even more effectively in their regional expansion, we are now introducing the first phase of a new delivery method — Allegro International Ukraina,” the article says.
It is noted that at the first stage of launching delivery to Ukraine, several hundred sellers from Poland will be included in the program.
“As part of the next stage, Allegro will open up to a wider circle of Polish sellers who want to reach customers living in Ukraine,” the publication explains.
According to Wiadomosci Handlowe, Allegro’s integration with Ukrainian sellers may take place as early as 2027.
“This would be a turning point and at the same time proof that Allegro intends to seriously compete with marketplaces operating in Ukraine, such as Rozetka,” Wiadomosci Handlowe noted.
Overall, the marketplace is now at the stage of preparing to launch the new direction, in particular attracting partners and providing them with technical and operational support.
It is also specified that the delivery of parcels from Polish sellers to Ukrainian customers will be carried out by Nova Post.
Allegro is the largest marketplace in Poland, which also operates in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia.
In 2021, the company announced the acquisition of the Czech e-commerce group Mall Group and the logistics company WE|DO. The corresponding transaction was completed in April 2022, which allowed the marketplace to enter the markets of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia.

Nova Post is launching its own courier delivery service in the Czech Republic, which is already available in Prague and the Plzeň, South Moravian, Moravian-Silesian, and Karlovy Vary regions, according to a company statement released on Friday.
According to the company’s press release, Nova Post has introduced precise two-hour delivery time windows with mandatory advance notification. This service is available seven days a week.
The company explained that within city limits, a courier will pick up a package at the customer’s request within one to two hours or at a time convenient for the customer. Same-day pickup is available throughout the region provided the request is submitted by 10:00 a.m.
It is noted that within 24 hours, the package will be delivered to 16 cities in the Czech Republic, as well as to Bratislava, Milan, Warsaw, and Berlin. At the same time, delivery to Lviv will take two business days.
“Expanding coverage for our own courier delivery is part of Nova Post’s strategic development in the Czech Republic. We strive to make the service as fast as possible and tailored to the daily needs of our customers,” the press release quotes Andriy Artemenko, CEO of Nova Post in the Czech Republic.
According to him, provided the pilot is successful, the company plans to expand this service nationwide starting in June.
Nova Post also clarified that from now on, customers will not need to pack parcels for shipment from their address or via AlzaBox parcel lockers; the courier will be able to pack them independently.
“There is also no need to label the shipment: it is sufficient to mark the parcel number in any way, or the courier will do so during processing,” the statement reads.
Additionally, customers can pay for the service online, in cash, or by bank card via a POS terminal directly when handing over or receiving a package. For pickups at a parcel locker, payment is made through the Nova Post mobile app.
As reported, last year the NOVA Group handled 522 million shipments, 29 million of which were in Europe. The group, which currently ranks 30th globally in parcel volume among express delivery and postal services, aims to enter the top 20 by 2030 and increase the number of shipments to 2 billion.
Vyacheslav Klimov, co-owner of the leading express delivery company “Nova Poshta,” Vyacheslav Klimov noted at 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 maximum delivery speed.
“Nova Poshta,” Ukraine’s leading express delivery service and part of the NOVA Group, has announced an additional search for private carriers to collaborate with for future partnerships in various delivery segments—from pickup truck deliveries to parcel lockers to intercity transport, according to a company statement.
According to the company’s press release, “Nova Poshta” is interested in new partners for intercity transportation using BDF chassis trucks with a capacity of up to 20 tons that meet Euro 5 or Euro 6 environmental standards, as well as for regional transportation using vehicles with a capacity of 3–20 tons equipped with an all-metal body and a hydraulic tailgate for parcel delivery.
In addition, the company is looking for couriers, carriers, and lessors of vans or trucks with a payload capacity of 3–10 tons for door-to-door parcel delivery to customers.
Separately, the company is seeking couriers, carriers, and lessors of pickup trucks or vans for delivering shipments to parcel lockers.
The NOVA Group’s website states that it currently operates a fleet of over 9,000 vehicles.
As reported, in the first quarter of 2026, Nova Poshta increased its revenue by 26.9% compared to the same period in 2025—to UAH 14.98 billion—and its net profit by 4.4 times, to UAH 1.28 billion.
In 2025, the company increased revenue by 21.6%—to 54.2 billion UAH—and net profit by 4.4%, to 2.6 billion UAH.
Demand for orders on the Glovo courier delivery service rose by 7.7% with the start of massive power outages in December, while on the Bolt Food online service it rose by about 6% compared to last year, the companies said in comments to the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.
“In general, during periods of power outages, we see an increase in demand for delivery,” said Vyacheslav Levchenko, general manager of Bolt Food in Ukraine.
Glovo added that it is seeing a gradual increase in the average check, which has grown by 1.7% since last month and by 19.4% compared to the same period in 2025.
Bolt Food reported that the average check has increased by approximately UAH 60 compared to last year.
At the same time, according to Glovo, the share of orders from restaurants decreased by three percentage points (pp) compared to the period before the massive power outages and by 6 pp compared to last year, Instead, Ukrainians began to order more often from grocery stores, whose share increased by 2 p.p. compared to the period before the blackouts and by 5 p.p. year-on-year, Glovo commented.
Bolt Food noted that a significant share of demand is generated by large chain establishments and well-known brands, including McDonald’s, KFC, BUFET, Eurasia, Lviv Croissants, Domino’s Pizza, and others.
“This choice is due to their wide representation, brand recognition, and stable service quality,” the company added in a comment to the agency’s request.
In addition, Ukrainians have recently been increasingly choosing hot and hearty dishes, with soups, burgers, pizza, and shawarma being the most popular, Bolt Food noted.
In addition, the choice of dishes is also changing, with demand for burgers falling by 10-15%. However, orders for soups, set meals, and main dishes (such as wok noodles or poke) have increased approximately threefold. As for the pizza and sushi category, the situation has remained almost unchanged, but there has been a 1-2% increase, Glovo said.
“People have started to order hot and nutritious meals through Glovo much more often — meals that can replace a full lunch, which is not always possible to prepare at home right now,” the company emphasized.
Glovo also recorded an increase in demand for pet products by more than 50% and for meat products by more than 48%.
As for the demand for essential goods, the indicator grew by more than 36%, medicines — by 25%, and the share of demand for alcohol increased by 6%. At the same time, the demand for flowers and frozen goods decreased by an average of 10-15%.
It is noted that Kyiv and Odesa show dynamics identical to the national ones. In Lviv, Dnipro, and Vinnytsia, there is also a stable interest in ordering dinners and lunches, and the demand for these dishes has doubled.
At the same time, in Kharkiv, demand for “fast” meals such as shawarma, pizza, tacos, and chicken dishes, on the contrary, increased by 30-35%, while ready-made complex lunches in the city began to be ordered less frequently, Glovo added.
