Ukrposhta reduces delivery times to USA to 14 days

JSC Ukrposhta reduced the delivery times of shipments from Ukraine to the USA to 14 days from 20 days previously, said director of the international operations department of JSC "Ukrposhta Yulia Pavlenko in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

"Currently, the delivery times of Ukrposhta abroad are 7-21 days in Europe, depending on the country, the USA – up to two weeks," said Pavlenko, specifying that previously delivery to the USA took up to 20 days.

According to her, it was possible to reduce the delivery times of shipments from Ukraine abroad thanks to cooperation with one of the world's largest logistics companies DHL.

"Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, I had a great desire to negotiate with DHL so that they would accept Ukrposhta shipments on their planes. We did not manage to agree on this right away – we had different document samples – Ukrposhta had a postal sample, and DHL had an express carrier sample. However, this happened, and recently full trucks from Ukraine have been arriving at the address of the special DHL division in London – DHL Global Match. Ukrposhta cargo is loaded onto scheduled DHL Aviation planes (a division of DHL engaged in air transportation around the world). I am very pleased with the pace that we have during the season and off-season thanks to this cooperation," Pavlenko said.

As you know, Ukrposhta delivers parcels and correspondence to/from Ukraine to 190 countries of the world.
