Price Hikes
The Polish Post Office (Poczta Polska) is increasing the price of sending letters and parcels. From now on, we will have to pay from PLN 1 to PLN 3 more for a parcel, whereas, the price of a normal letter and postcard will increase by PLN 0.10. The company explains that it has to push up prices in order to invest in new sorting offices and, as a result, this will speed up the delivery of parcels.
“The price increases of these services are caused not only by higher costs of providing the services themselves, but also by the fact that we have improved the punctuality of delivering parcels and letters. However, this has involved investing more money in, among other things, building new sorting offices which we will not furnish with very expensive equipment used to sort parcels,” says Michał Dziewulski from the press office of the Polish Post Office. We will now pay PLN 1.55 for sending a normal letter and postcard, which does not weigh more than 50g, while hitherto they cost PLN 1.45. Furthermore, we will also have to pay more for a postal order which will go up by PLN 0.20, that is from PLN 5 plus 1% of the price of the postal order to PLN 5.20 plus 1% of the price of the postal order. The price of sending packages will also increase, the heavier the package, the more we will pay. As a consolation, the post office will send us an e-mail or sms when there is a parcel addressed to us.
