Ukrposhta launches new mail service to U.S.
U.S. postal operator USPS joined a coalition of 67 countries to which such packages have been shipped since April 1, including Canada, the UK, Germany, Australia, France, and others, the company said.
"The Small Package is a very popular type of shipment among Ukrainians, with almost 80% of customers using it. The U.S. is one of the key countries for Ukrainian postal exports, as 45% of shipments go to this country, this service is relevant and in demand for a large number of senders," Ukrposhta explained.
The price for shipment from any point in Ukraine to any U.S. address starts from $7.29 and is calculated based on the weight of a package.
"The long negotiations with USPS ended with fruitful results, as they made it possible not only to fix the price for international delivery, despite the increase in transportation costs and changes in tariffs in the Universal Postal Union's settlement system, but also to lay the foundation for a cheap way of sending. It is important that Ukrposhta systematically supports Ukrainian exporters by fixing tariffs since the beginning of the great war. We also ensure uninterrupted delivery of parcels despite the closed skies for civil aviation," said Ihor Smelianskyi, Ukrposhta CEO.
The Small PRIME Package has the following advantages:
It is 8% cheaper than the small recommended package (another type of shipment).
It provides delivery to the addressee’s postal box without obtaining their signature.
Priority processing in the country of destination and tracking in all countries of the PRIME network, available in the United States and 67 other countries.
The service can be ordered online anytime using the following online services: the ARI system, personal account, or the mobile application. It is also involved in the loyalty program.
Depending on the volume of shipments, it is possible to save up to 10% more for private clients, and up to 15% for corporate clients.
