InPost is launching same-day delivery services under the trade name Local Courier in 9 cities in Poland: Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Lodz, Katowice, Poznan, Gdansk, Szczecin, and Rzeszow. The service will be available only to InPost customers and is specifically tailored to the needs of e-commerce shippers who prioritize delivery speed. The price for same-day delivery starts at PLN 16.35.
– We consistently declare that InPost equals e-commerce, and we intend to be a leader in this market by offering modern solutions that help run an e-business. Same day is another InPost service dedicated specifically to e-commerce shippers. With one operator, it will now be possible to order the widest spectrum of logistics services in Poland: from registered e-commerce letters through InPost Courier and Local Courier to InPost Paczkomaty®. This is a huge convenience for e-commerce shippers, as they do not have to sign several contracts for different services, but can cover their entire demand for logistics services with one operator – said Sebastian Aniol, CEO of InPost S.A.
The Local Courier service is carried out in a “door-to-door” system and is offered in three categories. Standard – guaranteed delivery time of 5 hours, Express – up to 2 hours, and Super Express – where the delivery time is limited only by the distance between the sender and the recipient. The service is available within the administrative boundaries of 9 Polish cities and in zone II, which includes towns within a distance of up to 30 km from these boundaries.
– We are starting in 9 cities for now, but ultimately we want to be present with same-day services in all the largest Polish cities, i.e., where our largest e-commerce customers are – adds Sebastian Aniol.
InPost provides postal and courier services for individual and business customers – as the only operator in Poland, it provides a comprehensive and complementary range of logistics services ‘under one roof’. Thanks to the agreement concluded between Allegro and InPost on strategic cooperation in the delivery of products ordered online, e-sellers have the opportunity to use the following services: Allegro InPost Courier, Allegro InPost Paczkomaty, and Allegro InPost Registered Mail. In all these options, customers are guaranteed the possibility of returning the ordered product free of charge.
The operator’s offer is also complemented by a wide range of modern solutions, including those dedicated to the courier parcel sector: Dynamic Parcel Redirection and sending parcels from Allegro via InPost Paczkomaty®. This is a free option, thanks to which the customer can pick up the order at an InPost Paczkomat® designated by them or at a selected Customer Service Point. The service is a convenience created for e-entrepreneurs who process a small daily number of orders and want to adjust the parcel dispatch time to their working hours. In turn, the option of sending courier parcels from Allegro via InPost Paczkomaty® allows for sending courier shipments at any time using one of over 1,800 conveniently located InPost Paczkomaty® in Poland. The solution allows for fast and efficient order fulfillment without waiting for an InPost employee to pick up the parcels.
InPost is also expanding its infrastructure of Customer Service Points throughout Poland. A Network Development Division has been specifically established for this purpose, whose task is to adapt the CSP network for services dedicated to e-commerce. Thanks to the actions taken, it will be even better adapted to sending letters, courier parcels, and Paczkomaty parcels.
