Ukrainian Nova Post Expands Its Reach to Latvia and Launches Courier Service
In October, the Ukrainian logistics company Nova Post opened its first branch in Latvia and introduced its own courier delivery service in the country. According to the company's press release, the inaugural Nova Post branch is located in the Latvian capital, Riga, at Tērbatas iela 30, Centra rajons, Rīga, LV-1011.
This development makes Latvia the third Baltic country where Nova Post has established branches and courier services. The delivery time from Ukraine to Latvia is set at 5 days.
The Riga Nova Post branch allows customers to send and receive documents, parcels, and packages weighing up to 100 kg. The delivery costs from Ukraine to Latvia are as follows:
- Documents – 6.5 euros
- Parcels up to 2 kg – 10.4 euros
- Parcels up to 10 kg – 15.6 euros
- Parcels up to 30 kg – 31.1 euros
- Freight from 30 to 100 kg – 1.05 euros per kilogram
Additionally, customers have access to Nova Post courier delivery services to any address throughout Latvia. Courier requests can be made through the company's website and mobile app, with an additional fee of 2.6 euros for deliveries up to 30 kg or 6.5 euros for every 100 kg.
"Nova Post has been a reliable support for Ukrainians for 22 years, no matter where they are, especially during times of war. We recently experienced a great tragedy last week, with the loss of six of our employees due to a Russian missile strike in Kharkiv. However, we are committed to continuing our work because the lives of millions of people, both in Ukraine and abroad, depend on our services. Today, we are opening Nova Post in Latvia to bring together those separated by war and borders, allowing you to easily and quickly send a part of your warmth, care, and support to Ukraine," said Oleksandr Lysovets, CEO of Nova Post Europe.
In 2023, Nova Post is actively expanding its business in European countries. In October, Nova Post opened its third branch in Hamburg, Germany, with plans to open 17 more branches in Germany by the end of the year.
