"A special emphasis was placed on the opening of PUDOs – service points on the premises of the existing business of partners, where you can send or receive already paid parcels weighing up to 10 kg," Nova Poshta’s announcement read.

“Service points can be located in pharmacies, shops, and gas stations and are already operating in the BRSM, Moyo, and Delvi networks.”

As of the beginning of 2024, the company's network consists of 11,460 branches and 15,590 self-service kiosks, with 60% of all Nova Poshta self-service kiosks operating indoors and in residential complexes, and 40% being street self-service kiosks.
